1982 Rolex Day Date 18238

Case: The 18k yellow gold case is excellent and shows light wear for its age. The 18k fluted bezel is sharp and shows very light wear.

Bracelet: The 21 link 18k yellow gold president bracelet is excellent showing only very light stretch for its age.

Notes: Made from the burlwood of a birch tree, the patterning of this dial has an abstract big cat feel. And without resembling any pattern too closely, looks as though it would be the perfect camouflage for laying in the grass waiting for a herd of impalas.

Found in everything from mid-century modern furniture, to Rolex dials, to match grade rifle stocks, burl has long since been a favorite material to woodworkers and artisans.
