Incoming... 2016 Daydate 118238
Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section.. I'm relatively new here but had to share my first and latest purchase. Picked it up today and haven't stopped smiling.. I have small wrists so went for a 36mm and just had to have the diamond dial. The 40mm just looked too bulky in the mirror!

The 118238 is THE Day-Date to have, in my opinion! Congrats.

I have 7.5 inch wrists and chose the 36 mm Day-Date too. It is my favorite looking watch in the world! Many congrats and many happy years with it. You have a truly great timepiece.

Huge congrats. The Day-Date, in any incarnation is the quintessential Rolex and is my all time favourite Rolex.

Well done.
