When it comes to Vintage Rolex Dress watches, the Day Date seems to be the winner. It comes in different case references and all have their beauty. The 1802 Is known to be the sleek and very elegant one, bearing the smooth or so-called domed bezel. The dial is a beautiful silver dial with black print and double indexes at 6 and 9. The so-called cigarette hands look great with these indexes. Paired with the handmade chocolate brown Alligator strap it is a very very attractive watch on the wrist and has lots of character.
