Rolex Day Date 11309 white gold
So I got it!!
Original Box too Has aftermarket diamond bezel... Band nice..few brown spots ..probably needs a Rhodium replating??? So I love it...not as small on wrist as I thought..... But I have a guy who wants to trade for a Panerai 270 I still can't make up my mind !!!!! I know 2 totally different watches... I guess knowing which will be worth more in 5 years may help ?? Pics to come Heeeelp!!!! |

I know bling is not for everyone but I like it :-)..... if I end up keeping this one and not getting the Panerai I'm thinking of purchasing an original dial off ebay just for the heck of it. I see that they are relatively inexpensive
Oh...the picture of the box is from the jewler...I DO NOT HAVE ALL THOSE WATCHES NEAR THE BOX!!!!! :) |

I'm not sure of the year. Does the pictures below of the box help? It has a very little bit of brown on the bracelet and that's all. Should I have it rhodium-plated again? It probably has not been rhodium-plated since it was brand new. Also I still need help deciding whether to keep this or get the Panerai 270

Definitely different watches. Flare or subdued? I guess it depends on what you like more. Sure you may be able to more suitably wear the Panerai more often, but you may have remorse over your lost DD. I would personally choose the Panerai.
Best regards |

And why would you choose the Panerai?.... and also any help regarding the long-term value of the Rolex versus the Panerai would be

As a new Rolex owner just want to know why OYSTER thought the condition was not good. It actually looks excellent to me? |

White Gold DD's are not rhodium plated, just needs a good cleaning and polishing.
 Congrats on the bling.

I don't like it at all but the important thing is that you are happy with it.

I see it !! TY
I have two questions. I still want someone to educate me about the value of this watch in 5 years versus that of the Panerai 270? Also if it is not rhodium plated then what do they use to make the white gold? I thought all white gold had a rhodium plating and that's how it was white? U guys r great !!! ..and yes...I'm actually a Gastroenterologist with 5 kids that loves Bling! Drives wife nuts ! |

Why the diamond not paved throughout the entire bracelet? Aftermarket? .. As far as I know, ANYTHING aftermarket fitted into a Rolex will hurt the resale value.
Anyway.. That's some serious bling.. Need a good wash n some refreshing (polish) will look even better! Congrats on your new addition.

I also don't know anything about day date end links, but are the backs supposed to be that thick and protruding like that? Looks strange. |

I'd be more concerned with the way the day fits in the window than anything else.

The box above is exactly like the one I had with my 18038, circa 1981.. Is your model a single quickset? ( I doubt it is a double quick)..
