118239 bracelet can be removed so I dont think it is made as part of the watch case.

The 118239 bracelet is more solid + heavier than the 18239.
In terms of true melt gold value,I think gold value us more by only 1K plus.
To me its not worth the 7 to 8K price difference for pre-owned 118239 Vs 18239, now you know why I never
had any of the 118xxx in my collection

The movements are both the same , double quickset.
The 118239 is heavier , thats about it. slight differences in dial and polished lugs.

thanks ian... if i am not wrong, another difference is tt the end links of 118239 fits completely with the case right?

i read tt 118239 has full solid centre links n end links... wat abt the 18239? will tis pose a problem in relation to the stretching of the bracelet?

cannot find ppl selling preowned 118239 with chapter ring lei anyone got lobang?

[Ian Limm]

advice needed...

am considering getting a dd but to get it bnib seems out of my mind cos the price for bnib is jus too ex...

the pre-owned market seems more sensible...

therefore, between 18239 and 118239, which is a better choice and why?

i know the 118239 is a more recent version of the wg dd... n on the one side, it is never wrong to get something tt is more recent given the improvements...

however, at least from the financial perspective, the 118239 is at least a gd 6-8k more than the 18239... i can get another rolex for this price difference... n possibly bnib for the second rolex...

hence, are the improvements from 18239 to 118239 worth the price difference?

thanks all...

Got my 18038 Daydate with leather strap, after poisoned by bro Ian and bro Throttle.
Very nice gold dress watch, different feeling and style from wearing a sports model.
Start loving gold watches...
