For this reason it, along with the 1803, is our favourite iteration of the Day Date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18239 is the third series of 18-series Day Date, and is a step up form the previous 18038 as it now featured a double quickset function for adjusting the day and date, which endows it with a level of practicality, and ease of use not seen in prior generations. The case is also slimmer, while retaining the classic 36mm case size and brushed lugs we so love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is an E serial dating from circa-1990, and presents in excellent vintage condition. Serviced by the Rolex Service Centre in 2019, the case is in excellent shape. Has been polished, but retains sharp lugs, with a uniform finish that RSC servicing provides. Shows some light scratches, and swirlies, but no dings\/nicks etc. Bezel shows a few very minor dings under a loupe.
