As the pictures show, all tritium lume dots are fully intact, and the dial shows no damage whatsoever. The hands are also in excellent condition, with a patina that complements the dial.<\/p>\n<p>The bezel, like the case, has only been lightly polished, with sharp teeth and minimal signs of wear. The sapphire crystal is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>The 8385 President bracelet (18-karat yellow gold) is still in very good condition. It shows only slight stretching (see the specially taken photo), minor signs of wear, and the crown on the clasp is still perfectly intact. The bracelet comes with 22 links and, with the clasp code E for 1980, is the original bracelet for the watch.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: A fantastic, honest Day-Date in a classic design. Buy it, wear it, enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brand:\u00a0Rolex Modell:\u00a0Day-Date Reference:\u00a018038 Year:\u00a01980 Serial number:\u00a06411XXX Material:\u00a018 carat yellow gold Armband:\u00a018 carat yellow gold Diameter:\u00a036 Millimeter condition:\u00a0very good Box&amp;Papers: no Description: Beautiful classic Day-Date with champagne dial.
