[QUOTE=5150XF;5955936]We all know what a super seller DAVID SW is, but this time he found a way to traverse time and found me a Day-Date 18238 that just blew me away. I was on the hunt for a clean 18238 so a quick text to David produced this gem. Being that it is a "L" serial with original sales date of Dec. 1989, it is easily a 99% LNIB, it looked like the original buyer went to an AD and kept it in the safe for 26 years. My gain!! AS ALWAYS, THANKS AGAIN DAVID!!

Nope,....it doesn't look like a 26 year old watch,......BUT.....

.....was it priced like one?

I already know the answer,.......as like a fine wine (and rising gold prices and considering the US dollar Printing Press running around the clock!),....a like new PM Rolex gets more expensive over time.

I'd venture a guess you paid quite a bit less than a similar NEW model would run,......but MORE than the original listed price 26 years ago. Just a guess but $12K to $13K, or a little bit more maybe???

......and that would be fair in my mind.

Congrats......
