Description
This Rolex Day-Date reference 18038 is an incredibly attractive watch with an unbelievably rare United States Merchant Marine dial. This particularly with this original non-Rolex gold bracelet makes for a seriously impressive watch. We would rather have this logo on our watch than the signature of a despot who allegedly committed patricide, honestly! These Merchant Marine Day-Dates are extremely rare and only a few are known. The 18K-gold case appears to be unpolished. It measures 36mm in diameter (43mm lug-to-lug). This particular example dates to circa 1978 with a 5.4M serial. The watch comes full set with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.
