18239 for my wife's birthday

Hello,

Just want to share here the watch day-date that my wife has bought for herself for her 40th birthday.

She's been looking for this model and this later diamond dial (she still has the original one) for a long time and a nice offer came by last week.

E serial.

Quite happy with the choice.

I like it more with the original dial.
Personally I only like the diamonds when on a DD 40 as they are baguettes I just think the diamonds look tiny on the 36 mm DJ/DD
BUT
It's not my money or my watch so congrats, I am glad she loves it and hope she wears it a lot!

Congratulations to her, that looks like a real prize!

(If it were mine, I might consider also getting a set of no-lume hands for it - The hour/minute on this set look a little mismatched, and ofc the tritium is long since perished anyway.)

Thank you all for kind comments and wishes.

I will of course try to wear it from time to time, after all she got bitten by the Rolex bug because of me :-)
