Unexpected Incoming!

I really wasn’t expecting to pick this piece up. But saw a 1984 Day Date 18038 in great condition for sale on here from a Trusted Seller and had to get it!

I ticked off a few boxes for my collection, it’s my first PM piece, my only classic Rolex and now I have a watch from my birth year.

Looking to enjoy this piece for as long as I can!

Very nice.

The hidden-clasp bracelet is a blessing visually but a curse physically, in that it can't be adjusted as your wrist size changes with variables like temperature, humidity and your weight.

Mine is always either too loose or too tight - rarely just right. In practical terms, I'd actually prefer the one with the clasp that has holes for micro-adjustment.

Still, a super watch, though.

Very Nice. I really like the tapestry dial. I've got the silver tapestry in a datejust. I would like to have all of the different color tapestry dials.
