Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold 36mm Men's Watch Comparison Ref 1803 and 18038

Ref. 18038


Ref. 1803


These are two major versions of Day date, the former one with plastic crystal, and the later one with Sapphire. The former model Ref 1803 is thinner; the later version Ref 18038 is thicker. The former one is having a dial with a curved and truncated dial at the rim of it. Where 18038 is flat. As far as accuracy is concern, basically they are both the same under the same Rolex quality. As for my preference, I do not see any one is better than others. The 1803 is classic. Slimmer. Warmers and more isometric in the outlook due to the slant dial. The 18038 has a new caliber, more durable, scratches proof, big looks thicker. Less elegant. So I think I will wear new newer 18038 for work and 1803 for meeting my watch collectors during week end. Value, I think all depends on the dial, I like dial with diamond, as they are rarer, and the one with Purple dial is extremely rare… I love it. HK Snob

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Yellow Gold Auto Men's Watch 1972

This is one of my best beloved watches, the Royal Oak, It looks classic, and the same time futuristic as the design is impeccable...
I am using it now for work whilst I am travelling…

It is heavy, ultra thin of total thickness 7mm only. This model has the JLC movement (2120), which is extremely reliable and robust. It's very comfortable and wears nice and thin.However extremely rare and hard to find, especially good condition.

… what do you expect a watch to be after all when it is Beautiful, reliable, water resistant, awesome Jumbo size of 39mm large and paper thin 7 mm!?… bearing the legendary name of Audemars Piguet!
As usual I carry one watch, two pairs of Tiffany Cuff links and one Pilot retracable Fountain pen, a Louis Vitton Bag and a Rockport aircushion shoe for travelling...visiting my customers.

Use Your Rolex Day Date as a Hiking Watch!?

I decided to take my Rolex Day Date for a Hiking Run from Needle hill, Grassy Hill, lead Mine Pass thne runnign to the Shing Mun Reserviour main Dam to end this 9 KM Trail as a serious rugged Reliability test for my Rolex. It was OK and Proven no trouble after the Hiking. So I can confirm that Day Date is as strong as tough as the Submariner and Or Explorer series. As one of my colleague used to wear a Stainless steel, Rolex Date Just for Trailwalker in the past three years. And I am sure that Rolex can be used fo Golf, other likes Patek Philippe and Or AP may not be tough as Rolex in this application field, Correct me if I am wrong. as I dare not use an AP or Patek Pilippe for my Hiking! As I used to say, Rolex Day Date is your everyday Time Piece!

This is an old collection, unused Horse skin Rolex Watch Strap. Wow... very rare! I am sure we can not find it anymore in the new stock from Rolex. I have 3 pieces!!
