https://www.instagram.com/longbeachwatchclub/ Rolex Day Date ref. 18038 circa 1981 with RSC card The Day Date is quintessential Rolex.  It is not only what captures the imagination of a luxury solid 18k gold Swiss watch but also the type of watch best for mobile currency: can get the owner out of a tough place. Culturally, the Day Date is perhaps most synonymous with “The Bear” Jack Nicklaus and for a bit of time his 1967  ref. 1803 was known as “The Golden Bear”. Overall, this once is in very good condition and was serviced by Rolex Service Center in  February of 2023 and still running strong.  While it did visit RSC, the hands appeared to be replaced in the process but still match the markers and keep a cohesive look. Light wear on sides of case and under lugs but no severe condition notes or damage. _________________________________________________ Timestamp pix Videos etc: : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12IDKu1sHxzpDCsRzzZWVWH2m-I5aaNXn?usp=share_link Specifications: 36mm solid 18k gold case X  20 lug width X 44h (lug to lug) X 13cc with sapphire crystal powered by an automatic single-quickset (windshield wiper method date)  Caliber 3055 movement Box and papers: RSC card which is arguably equivalent or superior to papers as we know it was serviced Bracelet: none, just a high end black Veblenist strap and green Barton band. __________________________________________ * video is the best way to view the watch if in-person test drive is not available.
