It’s been my “goal watch” for decades. I pick mine up in 2 days. I have condensed my Breitlings, Omegas, Panerai…and Datjust2 for this I am done with a rotation. One and done Very excited. Love the simplicity and elegance of the champagne dial and really love the subtleties of the Roman markers. It is the Gold standard. Proud of my accomplishments

It took you decades to afford a watch that cost under $20,000 and had to sell a bunch of others to do it, that's sad. Hell I bought a Submariner for myself when I graduated undergrad and had a Breitling in undergrad. Also no one cares about your accomplishments, we will all be dead eventually and all this will mean nothing. 🤷‍♂

The fact you’re not doing that anymore, and that you’ve truly altered your collecting philosophy is how I know this piece has powerfully moved you. It’s cool to see. Cheers!

Wow. Yesterday I literally considered messaging you Bruce for an update on this beauty! You answered my questions. I love this watch and your perspective. It's my grail and I've looked at other brands closely as well. But the President speaks to me as few others. When I started my career in the 1980s, top executives treated themselves to the Day-Date. I honestly thought it was douchy but years and maturity have clearly altered my view. Luxury, if one is fortunate and so choses, is a delightful treat and regardless of reason, is a personal choice that I respect. For me, I rarely wear my Rolex DJs exposed. My two-tone is a personal satisfaction experience and I love to take a peek under the long sleeves. That's just me - so should I be fortunate to find the perfect 118238, (my price comfort range), I believe I would not expose it. I do laugh though at your qualifier one year later; "almost" a one-watch guy. Ha. You "were" a one-watch fella when your classy DD first appeared! Congrats and thanks for the great segment! And it's cool that you're indifferent to scratches.

I was in Bermuda last year and we took a private tour of the island. Our guide, a man in his late 60’s, was wearing a yellow gold Daydate 36 black dial that his wife gifted him on his 45th birthday. She is a VP at one of the international insurance companies that make Bermuda home. I mentioned nice watch and he told me he’s worn it everyday and everywhere since receiving it including the UK which he travels to every few years. I told him to be careful next time he goes.

Even here in FL, the Day-Date carries business implications. Had a client that wore a Day-Date for some 40 years. During Covid, I needed to raise my prices. He threw an absolute fit. Next time I saw him , he was wearing an 80s TAG. Why? It's hard to pretend you can't afford modest price increases while simultaneously showing everyone how wealthy you are. It also works in the reverse. Harder to justify your pricing to clients when you're flossing wealth in their face. It's a catch-22.

Great assessment. You’re right about the dd vs other brand’s full gold watches. Over the years I’ve slimmed down my collection to almost only Rolex, and that was based on just wrist time. Not because they are Rolex, just because they are my favourites as pieces. The Sub is my daily work wear. GMT Batman for weekends and travel. The Datejust for a suit and/or slimmer cuff. The only other watch I want, despite no bracelet is a JLC Calendar.

What you said about wrist time is true - my Rolex was my main wear until it was knocked off my wrist by a Tudor 4 years ago. Currently my only gold wristwatch is a JLC dress watch, which is where I kinda believe gold best belongs.

That is a stunning watch. Anyone would wear the day date with pride. The current climate around high end watches and mugging makes me nervous. I have several watches the I absolutely love. The fact that I have become too nervous to wear them in public has diminished the pleasure of ownership. Your day date is a true work of art. I’m glad you have given your watch the wrist time it deserves.

Yellow gold, champagne Stick dial. CLASSIC! I love it. My only worry would be the softness of the gold, but hey, maybe I could wear it daily. My own story is I have a Royal Oak 15500 (Blue!) for fancy, and a polar explorer for daily - and OK yes, I have several other watches that I don't wear much. The A.P. is super delicate, but the Day-Date can definitely be that one-watch cross-over. Fancy and reasonably robust. To my eyes, you picked the classic configuration. Mad respect! One caveat: Security could be a big issue, but it depends on your situation - it might not be that big. If someone takes my Polar, it's replaceable. My A.P.'s another matter.

Ha ha ha ha. Best comment here. It's so true. My wife and I love wearing our rolex and mine is the ultimate dd president bling with factory diamond bezel and diamond string face.... I found every single friend sent my messages that rolex was crashing in price. Love it because I'll never sell any. And with my gorgeous wife 41 years younger.... Omg... Lol... Been together 8 awesome years and everybody hates it. Too hilarious. We absolutely love every single moment of our lives. Thanks for the awesome comment. 😊😊

I feel the same way with pretty much everything you said. I have the same with the baguettes. It gets all my wrist time except the times when I do something active (Casio Dura) or leave the US.

I have a steel submariner and one day I want to get one of these. Im a machine repair technician and daily wear my sub. I was a multi watch kind of guy before I got my sub, now I’m pretty much a one watch guy. TBH I’d get a gold day date now but I know I’d just beat it up. Lovely watch, it really looks good, I like the dial choice too. I’d consider that dial or the same color but lumed.

That is a stunning watch. My lifestyle would preclude wearing it most of the time but that's why I got a sub. Hopefully see you at HSU!

Love your yellow gold DD and would love to see yellow gold watches become more mainstream/accepted. As I recall, in the past a gold watch actually was considered a long term life/work/goal fulfillment and was not frowned upon like these days. It is a bit sad that people might refrain from buying and enjoying a gold watch out of fear from being robbed or other peoples negative opinion about the piece and its wearer.

I have the 36mm rose gold day date with gold dial and diamonds. It's gorgeous but I don't wear it as often as I would like. I wish the bracelet had a micro adjustment. It fits fine but I would prefer it a tad looser. If the AD puts the removed link back in then it is far too loose. I can't wear it on a hot day because it feels just a bit too tight. That's my only complaint about this watch.

I love it man.! Enjoy it! Who cares what random negative comments people have… if they could have one they would! And your right when you go to a mostly one watch rotation is the most freeing feeling lol I did something similar myself…. No more what to wear anxiety lol🙏

By experience - do not wear any gold watch while traveling. It is not just for security reasons but gold is not hard-wearing as steel or even plastic. So save yourself the tears over a banged-up gold Rolex and take an Explorer or a GMT when traveling for adventure is what they were made for. Then go home to your gold watch.

DD signifies success since decades. However, 18kt gold is rather soft and will ding easily. I would be too concerned while wearing.

Hi Bruce, that Rolie looks great on your wrist, perfect size and shape. also the yellow gold really goes with your skin tone and the hairs on your wrist give off a bit of ''maturity'' allowing you to be able to pull it off, not everyone can do it. a yellow gold watch i believe is not an easy watch to wear but you can can pull it off. the Rolex president is a beautiful beautiful thing!

Absolutely mesmerising, elegant and timeless.. but when you started talking about insurance, placing the watch in a safe on occasion etc etc, this is basically why i can't see myself going over £5000 mark... at least not at this stage in my life.... i want to wear a watch without any stress or concern...i love that about my g shock, and even my daily IWC mark xvi which i totally adore, but never worry about it being stolen or lost... I'm not sure if i would enjoy wearing your stunning watch... i do love the look, and the idea of a gold watch though... just don't know how practical this is

Hand up I was wrong I would have bet my house that it didn't make it to the 6 month mark. Glad you found the one I don't think I could ever get close to one watch guy territory. I've pared back to 6-7 watches the last few months and that feels good but I can't go down any further for now

Same sentiment. I do find particularly in NYC where people check each other out a lot, that the sort of " Jerk wearing a Rolex" thing is real. The brand will never shake that but as an enthusiast I've come not to consider it. I just dig the watches I've researched, hunted, and came to purchase. BMW used to have the same sort of connotation but who wouldn't love to drive an M right? Or a Vette? Cheers BW. That DayDate is spectacular.

Enjoy. But there’s nothing “practical” about an all gold luxury watch. This piece is bling. Cannot ignore that. Strangers judge it as either real or fake.

The fact that there is no option to adjust the president bracelet is the only thing that holds me back from getting an Everose Day-Date. The VC Overseas system is genius, Patek copied it for the Nautilus. In that price range comfort is important and I wonder if Rolex will ever design something like the easy link or glidelock for the president bracelet.
@burlymugg
@burlymugg Ай бұрын
for a luxury watch of this caliber, the fact that it has no micro adjustment makes it so difficult to qualify as a daily. I hope they find a way to address that in the future.

My 1st contact with oyster case with the fluted bezel was about 35 year ago when my mum bought 1 then. My growing up I always view this as a old person watch. In my 40s, sadly the perception still hasn't change.
