Icon2 It is amazing what a 118238 can do for you

I guess you have been through this as well....AM: Jeans, polo shirt and Omega Seamaster. You walk through 'upscale' shopping mall, you are treated ok. Same day, same outfit; now with my 118238 (shown left), SAME MALL...now, treated like royalty!

Something must be wrong - I don't get that "royalty" treatment.

Maybe I need to hold my arm up more - stick the damn thing in the clerk's face or something!

PRESIDENTIAL BRACELET IS KING!!!!


In my opinion the DD belongs on a President Bracelet, with every model in the Rolex catalog avail on a Oyster it doesnt make sense not to get the DD on the pres bracelet. Extremely nice looking watch esp with the Romans.

Gerardo, that is a most beautiful piece you've got there. Absolutely gorgeous. If I saw you wearing it, I, too, would bow down and show it the respect it deserves.

Those are some great shots of a fantastic watch. Although I am a fan of the sport watches.....the DD has a certain royalty flavor to it, kind of puts it in a class by itself. Would love to see other members who have DD's post pix.

Sorry, never liked the DD Presidents, except for the baby blue dial Platinum DD. That's the only one I like, I find the YG one's a bit too gaudy.

Great Romans and dial, but for me don't like gold watches of any kind.Bracelets rings and chains yes,but watches no.

I have heard the same thing about the way restaurant staff treat you if you walk into a Chinese Restaurant.
This summer, when I can comfortably wear a short sleeve shirt, I'll give the Day-Date a try. Sometimes a little royal service is a good thing.

If you get the royal service at a restaurant remember to still leave a royal tip!

I'm not a huge fan of gold myself, but a gold DD on a President just has "flagship" written all over it.
