Hello Newbie here

Been looking for a 18238 daydate in the near future with white dial and roman#s. I would prefer to get the complete set box, warranty card, manual, hang tag etc. I am also looking for one that has not been polished and that the fluted benzel is polished and does not shine as it should. Two questions, since there are so many sellers on the net, and ebay, can anyone of you make recommendations where to purchase, I have been on chrono 24 so I know abot them, and what would be a fair offer to make them. I appreciate the help and advice and look forward to joining the rolex club of owners. Be safe all.

Best to research the sellers on chrono24. See the feedback. See whether you would trust purchasing from them. Then understand the stock and price points against market value.

Hopefully there is no rush hopefully as obviously not great time for logistics, longer you wait most likely the lower the price as the country/world contends with massive recession.

You are after the standard offering except Roman numerals, when buying the watches so expect to pay near top end per model. (Vs no papers polish, less desirable bezel) it's also very hard to validate if polish happened or not.

Ps. I hear Mr Brady was a big loss. Sad times! But stay safe in meantime.
