Verification check 18238
I am looking to buy a yellow gold 36mm "President" for my wife. The seller seems reputable and has a decent amount of feedback in various places including here on TRF. Just wanted to make sure the watch advertised is on the up and up.
Any feedback would be appreciated. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

From the pictures, it looks like it's in very good condition. Seller states it's "mint", so hopefully I won't need to do any additional reconditioning before giving it to my wife. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

Thanks! I am pretty excited as well. What do you feel is a good price for a set like this in "mint" condition?
Dealer has it listed for $16,900 I've seen a several pieces on chrono24 selling at $14k to $15k. But those pieces have some visible wear on them. Not sure if getting a good deal or not. Also, I noticed the face portion of the lugs on this one seems to have a satin finish. Is that supposed to be like that? I've seen several other examples here and there that have a mirror finish. Not sure if that effect was added on or the other pieces had a bad polishing. Sorry for all the questions, I've seen you around a lot on the "watch out" threads and you seem to be a very knowledgeable person. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

All 18238 have brushed lugs.
The one on the picture is a nice watch, very steep price. I own one and happily wear it. 18238 has the quick set which is a huge improvement over the 18038. If you never felt one you should try it before you buy it and compare to a newer model. Personally I’d go for a 6 digit day date. Totally different watch if you handle it. You pay quite some more but get a shiny ![]() ![]() My 5 digit ![]()

It's supposed to be in mint condition, so worst case if there is any stretch, I'll return it and go for a 6 digit DD. Thanks again for the input, cheers. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

Nice piece. I was recently in the market for one similar and it's really all about condition, even if it's a few bucks more. That seemed to be the common theme among all research i did was condition. Yours meets that for sure. Congrats!

I guess I'm going to have to leave it as is until I can take it to a watch maker to have some of the permanent links removed. Who knows how long that will take... Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |
