Hello everyone!

I'm newbie here

I hope to get your help with choosing pre-owned day date 118205 (F).

Both are factory ones, no added or changed parts. With box and papers.

Which one would you choose? Does the price seem to you about correct?

Here is the info on the both watches.

watch N 1:

- 118205F
-president bracelet
-pink roman dial
-unworn / purchased in 2013
-1 year warranty from the shop
- price 21 000 USD

Watch N 2:

-118205
-oyster bracelet
-black arabic dial / will have to change it, i prefer the light colored dial
-unworn in plastic/ purchased in 2016
- i suppose the warranty is 5 years
-price 21 000 USD + exchange of the dial

Thank you in advance for your help!!!

Easy choice for me. A Day Date should come on a President bracelet. That is a very big part of the allure

President bracelet - a must have

peterpl · 3 February 2018, 11:25 PM

On a DD you MUST get a presidential bracelet.

phez · 3 February 2018, 11:27 PM

As has been said, DD MUST come with the President bracelet

1William · 3 February 2018, 11:50 PM

I would go with the first choice. The DD is the DD because of the bracelet and dial. Others can look good but buy what the watch is known for.

newbee1 · 3 February 2018, 11:53 PM

I think I'm the only one who likes oyster bracelet as its under the radar and more durable in terms of bracelet stretching.In any case, both watches the are beautiful and you can't go wrong with either of the choice. Good luck!

enjoythemusic · 4 February 2018, 12:02 AM

x4, it's the President bracelet.

Romeomikehotel · 4 February 2018, 01:06 AM

Again, get the President. Nothing to think about

rebel_1 · 4 February 2018, 01:11 AM

President bracelet or no deal.

kilyung · 4 February 2018, 01:11 AM

No brainer

Speed · 4 February 2018, 01:19 AM

Hmm. What else has been done to the watch without the President bracelet - that you don't know about?

soflonative · 4 February 2018, 01:22 AM

That's a good decision to have, kind of like the oyster band cause its a little different from what most go with. I have a 118135 with a black dial but I'm thinking to changing it to a white dial as well.

Hamish · 4 February 2018, 05:38 AM

President bracelet is a must.

tkc324 · 4 February 2018, 07:44 AM

President bracelet or nothing.... I would swap out the dial to white or black Roman dial.

WBA_Daytona · 4 February 2018, 09:09 AM

Day Date only with president bracelet.

RoiPS · 4 February 2018, 06:56 PM

Wow!

THANK YOU ALL!!!

I see now the importance of the right bracelet!!!!

Also appreciate the opinions about the oyster bracelet and the dials.

Myself i would love the 118235 with president bracelet and

118205 with oyster bracelet and pink diamond dial,

but i forgot to mention that i'm a female

HL65 · 4 February 2018, 07:29 PM

No President bracelet no DD for me...Easy choice.

KenNethcole · 4 February 2018, 07:54 PM

Number one since option two you don’t like the dial anyway.

ha, I'm looking into same model for my wife, with the Roman pink dial.
i understand the 118205 vs 118205F are also different shades of pink. anyone have a side-by-side of these two?
other than the color variance, it's amazing how consistent Rolex has kept this model - I've seen pre-owned models from 2000 that are virtually identical to present models, only difference i can tell are the hands (present model has the black line down the center of each hand).

on older pre-owned i have noticed inconsistent link counts.
anyone know how many removable links (half and full) are supposed to come from the factory?
