[cherryboom]

hi people I just now saw a pre own 1983 version of gold day date no box and paper as it is 31 years old watch selling within my budget but for my budget can get a 1+ to 2 years old pre won GMT M2 2 tone or sub 2 tone. is it worth it for a 31 years old watch or just get the GMT or sub???

They are quite different watches although all Rolex.
No substitute for each other.
Must get one of each.

i think what matters is that you're happy... any watch also can..

depends on the day date's condition bro... if it's 1983 then it's probably a 18038.... if the bracelet is not too stretched and the case is not polished and if in abt 90/100 condition, then it's worth it to buy... if not then u should get the tt gmt master 2 or tt sub...

the price difference between 18038 and 18238 is not that far apart. i strongly recommend the latter unless the price is really attractive.

the date/day mechanism is not very robust in the 18038 - you can send it to RSC to get it fixed and aligned properly but... at a cost. the 18238 has everything fixed and sorted.

double quickset is also more convenient.
