My clasp on the 18038 was kind of bent or in better words contoured after 20 years of wear and the crown on the bottom was so worn it was almost flat looking. Do not get me wrong, if I could of never gotten a newer DD and had to have the old one as my only watch, I would of been content as the DD was always my grail watch from the day I got my first glance at one in the early 80's.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is a COSC certified, self-winding chronometer manufactured by Rolex. Initially presented in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to display the date, as well as the day, in its entirety.[1] The Day-Date is one of Rolex's watches that is made only in solid 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, 18k everose gold (Rolex's version of 18k rose gold) and platinum (PT950).[2] Additionally Rolex manufactures a specific bracelet only available for the Day-Date line, the President bracelet. Due to the name of this bracelet, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is commonly referred to as 'Rolex president' or 'presidential Rolex'.
