Here, a few shots of a mint, full set Tritium 18038 factory diamond-set example from 1978, which I had a brief affair with for about a year or so:
I liked it a lot with swim-shorts!

Nice! So did you get it from your AD in the end? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friend referred me to his AD and because of his purchase history he was able to get the price down to just about 25% off of retail. The AD had to order it and they told me it could take up to 4 months but I got it in 3 weeks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes, a win win win. A win for my friend who adds to his purchase history, a win for his AD to sell a DD, and a win for me to get an amazing watch at a great price. The only loss are for my two ADs who didn’t want to budge on their price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Fresh shot after the AD visit. Roman numerals just glisten and sing

I am beyond thrilled to share this beauty- L series 18238 from 1989, in like new seemingly unworn condition. Complete with box/papers. A true barn find, if you will.
I’ve been searching for the right Day-Date for quite some time and was lucky enough to find this example locally. I most appreciate the rosy, subdued hue the gold has taken on after 30+ years untouched. That and the crispy lugs and bracelet edges. Feeling fortunate to give this time capsule the wrist time it deserves! Cheers all! |

I’ve wanted to add THIS watch to THIS thread for 3 years. I saw it on a good friend’s wrist (he knows who he is!) at the Vegas GTG in 2017, and since then, I’ve wanted it. I searched, I gave up. I found one, but it didn’t have the rehaut, the fat buckle, and it wasn’t in a condition that worked for me. I tried the platinum DD40, and as beautiful as it is, it didn’t stick.
This arrived today, and all I can say is, “WOW!” I’m over the moon. This one is NOS, absolutely perfect. My name is on the card, dated yesterday! I feel my DD journey is officially complete.

Thirty six mm, complete, are getting harder to find. Especially a complete set and in good condition.

Thank you! Quote:
Agreed, it’s getting hard to find platinum DD36 in top condition. Quote:
Thanks, and I agree! Quote:
Thank you! The watch is out of production. It took 3 years for me to find this one! Quote:
Thanks, my friend!
