      thanks to all for the comments, glad to hear there are other fans of these old vintage day dates out there.


      btw heard of the story (purportedly) of the gold Rolex President that was given to John F. Kennedy by the iconic Marilyn Monroe on the evening the actress famously serenaded him, singing a sultry rendition of “Happy Birthday to You” on May 19, 1962, at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Inscribed with the words, “Jack, with love as always from Marilyn, May 29th 1962” ,notice the same type of rolex red box.

        the story further goes and I quote:

        In October 2005, this gold Rolex Day-Date, was sold at the Alexander Auction House in Greenwich, Connecticut for $120,000 dollars, breaking the house record.
        Panagopulos said the Rolex President had been brought to him by an English citizen, “who describes his family as being prominent pawnbrokers for the upper classes.” According to Panagopulos, the watch’s serial number and engraving are appropriate for the time, and the history of the watch was confirmed by a family member of Kennedy’s former aide.
        An ornate design on the top lid of the round gold case containing the Rolex shows two doves “kissing.” In the bottom of the case, there is a round piece of paper printed with the poem from Marilyn to her alleged lover. Titled “A heartfelt plea on your birthday,” the poem reads, “Let lovers breathe their sighs/And roses bloom and music sound/Let passion burn on lips and eyes/And pleasures merry world go round/Let golden sunshine flood the sky/ and let me love/ or let me die!”
        Overall, the Rolex and its accompanying notes represent a dramatic course of events that will always be shrouded in speculation. Marilyn Monroe’s death, by a mysterious drug overdose in August 1962, and President Kennedy’s assassination in November 1963, means that the truth may never be known. The aide, Kenneth O’Donnell, who was given the watch in the story, passed away in 1977, and his family refuses to comment on the gold Rolex and its historical validity. It seems that whether or not the tale is true, the anonymous buyer of this Rolex President will never regret the timeless sophistication of this watch and the intrigue of its origins.

                  m33pok, I will send you a pm.

                  Hi DA, crazy news is I am not going to wear this watch, I am going to admire it for a while more then it disappears into my bank safebox. I want to keep it in the same minty condition for as long as possible. I only wear simple watches to work and on some days my daytona.

                  wind128, thanks bro.
                  nice to have met up and chat the other day. I am going to download the book you recommended "100 years of rolex".
                  must say you have one of the best complete looking 1803 too! most 1803 bracelets are half dead or gone by now.

                    the correct number on the bracelet for very early 1803 is 53
                    for 18038 single quickset the number is 55
                    although I have seen a 55 on a late 70s 1803.

                        Hey bro, thanks for your kind compliments on my humble watch. I have second thoughts about selling it now ...

                        Great for you to remember the book coz it is worth every cent to the serious Rolex collector (regardless of whether vintage collector or not).

                              received a PM from a member that a 1972 Day Date 1803 in rose gold (with aftermarket dial and bracelet looking a bit loose) was sold at the Hong Kong Antiquorum auction on 26 Feb 2011 for 106,250 HKD!

                              looks like there are some fanatical day date collectors like me up in HK too
