Rolex day/date 118238

Hi
just joined so this is my first post.
I want to buy my fist Rolex that will last me the rest of my life.
I have spotted on the web a Rolex day/date 118238 with a green enamel dial and Arabic numerals.It is described as a limited edition that was made in 2007 to celebrate 50 years of the day date.However,it is not numbered and the seller does not know how many were made and it does not come in a different box which is all a little off putting.
My question is has anybody got one of these or seen one?Do Rolex make limited editions and if so why aren't they numbered?
regards
phuketgra

They do not.

The green one did come out a while back and is no longer in production there is an anniversary edition in a different green. It is Olive green.

If it looked like this it is the 50th anniversary watch.

Yes it is and if it came in blue like this I'd be all over it.
