Hello! This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza, here to introduce a recommended watch to you! Today, we have a 5-digit Day-Date with an outstanding presence.
Rolex Day-Date All Tritium
Ref.18348A Serial.L5 (Manufactured around 1988-89)
Cal.3155 8385/FF55B Clasp Code O3
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!
Since its debut in 1956, the Day-Date has reigned supreme as the pinnacle model of Rolex.
The watch I am introducing this time is the "Ref.18348A," which was released in the late 1980s!!
It is a luxury model featuring a 36mm 18K yellow gold case and a bezel lavishly set with diamonds!
Equipped with the Cal.3155 movement, it offers improved practicality, including the ability to perform quick-changes for both the day and the date.
This model exudes a more luxurious atmosphere than the standard Day-Date due to the diamond-set bezel.
In particular, this piece—featuring a combination of a black dial and diamond indices—has an exceptional presence!!
The black dial tightens the glamorous look of the yellow gold, creating a very cool combination that makes the diamonds stand out even more!
And what makes it truly attractive is this black dial!!
It is a gorgeous dial with 8 round diamonds and baguette diamonds set at the 6 and 9 o'clock positions!
The diamond indices shine brilliantly against the deep black color, and the way the dial sparkles depending on the viewing angle is simply captivating!!
Pay attention to the color shifts this black dial displays depending on how the light hits it!
At first glance, it looks like a deep black, but when light hits it, it takes on a greyish tone, and it changes its expression entirely depending on the angle!!
Combined with the sparkle of the diamond indices, it looks even more beautiful in person.
The dial condition is outstanding, maintaining a clean state even under a loupe.
The luminous material on the indices is in perfect condition with no missing parts!! That is definitely a high point as well.
The luminescence is all tritium. The condition of the luminous hands is also excellent.
While there are light scuffs and scratches from use, the overall condition of the individual piece is very good, with a solid case and bracelet.
The mid-case is in good condition, maintaining its original form!
Both the hairline and edge lines have been maintained in fantastic condition!
The buckle clasp code is "O3".
The period-correct bracelet shows almost no stretch!
This bracelet condition is also wonderful. As it stands, it is missing one link.
The model number sticker remains on the case back!
Wrist shot!!
The yellow gold and diamonds shine brilliantly against the black dial!!
It is a Day-Date with an exceptional presence that combines glamour and allure!
Rolex Day-Date "Ref.18348A/L5 Serial/Black Dial"
I just can't get enough of this beautiful black dial that shows a greyish expression when the light hits it!

It is quite rare to find a piece with such perfect conditions!!
