Here is a fine 1985 18038 Rolex President.
Unless you find an NOS piece your not going to find a more pristine 1980's President. Never polished. Green sticker still on the back. Zero bracelet stretch.
If you're new to the Gold Rolex world here is a bit on POLISHED OUT watches. They look OK in white-washed jeweler photos but they don't in hand. They are worn and heavily polished to look new - in the photos. The factory machine finishes are never duplicated during re-polish. Not ev...en close. Look at the bezel on this watch. It has brilliant sharp edges. The flutes on the bezel are not supposed to be rounded off like a sea scallop. That is caused by HEAVY polishing.
This watch comes with inner and outer box, operating manual, no papers. Outer box a bit ratty, inner box perfect.
Runs excellent and keeps time. Starts as soon as handled. No known service.
The bracelet has 24 links including fixed ones. President bracelets all originally came with 25 (one more than this watch has). Always count links when you are looking at Presidents. Fine, unworn links cost $250 a piece so, if you are looking at a 21 link watch, it's missing $1000 worth of links from what it came with.
Every part on this watch is 100% Rolex.
