DD 18038/18238 size difference-shocked!

[robinmgb]

I had the bracelet off my Day Date 18038 and a friends 18238 last night for ultrasonic cleaning.
I have read the 18038 case was thicker but really was surprised just how much bigger it is.
The case is considerably thicker and gives more wrist presence when on the wrist and certainly makes it wear larger, the 18238 felt dainty in comparison.
When purchasing my 18038 I wasn’t aware of much difference between the two models other than single/double quickset.
I now would never consider changing for the slimmer 18238.
Hope this helps anyone looking to buy either watch, if you wear it daily like I do then the size/look is far more important to me than quickset of the day.
