Beautiful watch moviefreak!

I have the 228235 myself. I just love the Presidents so much. Ever since LBJ famously wearing one, they have been symbols of success for so many high-powered individuals. I found this great article that dives into the history of the Rolex Day-Date and gives a bunch of buying options: https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-bl...ing-guide.html

"If there was ever a single watch that could be seen to represent the ultimate in success and achievement, it is the Rolex Day-Date. Should you ever be in any doubt as to just how revered it is in horology circles, proof can be found in its unofficial nicknames, the ones used more often than its formal title; for many, the model will always be better known as the Rolex President or the Rolex Presidential."

Size preference aside, there are a number of enhancements in the DD40 that I would argue are certainly an upgrade from the older models including the ceramic pin sleeves to reduce bracelet stretch, longer power reserve, chronergy escapement, and the use of newer lubricants to extend the service life.

Hi,
What do you think about this lapis dial in a DD 18239 (wg)?
I have never seen it irl but it looks nice.
