Finally pulled the trigger

I've been lusting over several PK's and Rolexes for a while now but a unique piece finally caught my eye and I pulled the trigger on a well maintained 18038 with a rare lacquered Cappuccino dial and a german day wheel. I can't wait to learn more about the nuances of collecting and continue to grow my knowledge base and collection; I'll need to because my wife is already trying to steal this one for herself (last photo).

I’ve been told it is a cappuccino dial in a lacquered finish. @amsterdamvintagewatches (IG) was nice enough to share some insight after I reached out since they have an amazing amount of knowledge in this area.

Nice! By the looks of that last photo, it looks like she’s already claimed it. Happy wife, happy life!

Excellent catch my friend. Buy yourself a second. The watch look nicer on your wife’s wrist. Hahaha. Hope she is not reading this.

Not an overall fan of the colours but the date wheel is interesting!
