Hi Everyone!

Just introducing myself as a new member! I am the proud owner of this 18X78 Day Date. I know there is a lot of discussion about the Bark, I wasn't a fan before, but I am now

I'm having trouble identifying whether this is a 18078 or 18278 as i'm a newbie to the forum and don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to horology.

This is a single quickset as I cannot set the DAY, only the DATE by turning the crown. Does that mean it is a 18078?

I remember my father having this watch as a kid and thinking to myself, real men wear Day-Dates!

I previously owned a GMT Master II which turned out to be a fake

(Picture of the fake below) but managed to get my hands on this DD after. Love the GMT so am looking at getting the BLNR at some point.

Glad to be here and appreciate any help! Cheers!

Welcome

Take off the bracelet and it will tell you the model number (between the lugs).
