Great looking watch! Congratulations!!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 19 March 2011, 12:58 AM

Lovely looking DD, but it's not a 118238, though...

The 118238 came in year 2000, 2 years after Tritium was banned.

The dial has the TR designation (and some TR flaking to the hour hand, btw.), and sports satinised lugs... the 118238 has polished lugs.

The 18238 (and years back) and 118238 shared the same "old style clasp" for some years after 2000 (I believe until year 2003, F-series?

)... after that, the DD got a more solid construction clasp.

OK and your point is! maybe i read the serial numbers wrong!!!!

I'm sorry i'm not as savvy as you are my friend after all it's just a watch

I'm not into all the p and f serial numbers and what not i'm too old for that stuff.....

Chill bro it's just a watch forum..

That is correct Bo, the updated clasp appeared with the F series.

BTW Bo, have you lost your mod job at the sk. "Friendly site"?

No doubt about that... it's a real stunner with that black dial. Black goes so well with gold imho!
