2009 Rolex Day-Date 118348 - Diamond Bezel Pave Ruby Dial
The Ultimate Expression Of The Day-Date
Reference 118348 is a heavy-hitting iteration of the President. While a standard 18K yellow gold Day-Date is already a statement, this factory diamond configuration moves the watch into a different category of collectibility. It features a factory diamond bezel and diamond-set dial. This is a high-spec execution that maintains the classic proportions while maximizing the presence of the precious metal.
A Technical Standard For The Flagship
The Day-Date has been the flagship of the Rolex catalog since the mid-fifties, but the six-digit references brought significant upgrades to the case and bracelet. The polished lugs and heavier President bracelet give this reference a more substantial feel on the wrist compared to older generations. It utilizes a movement that allows for the double quickset function, making it one of the most practical and user-friendly versions of the world’s most recognizable calendar watch.
Excellent Preservation And Mechanical Integrity
The watch is in very good condition with the 18K yellow gold case showing sharp lines and clear hallmarks. The factory diamond bezel and diamond dial are perfect. The President bracelet is tight and shows almost no stretch. Mechanically, the watch is running strong after passing our test bench.
Confident Presence For The Serious Collector
This is for the person who wants a Day-Date that represents the top tier of factory finishing. It works because it takes the traditional silhouette and adds a level of intentional brilliance that only factory-set stones can provide. It is a watch for someone who appreciates the history of the reference but wants a version that is genuinely hard to replace in this specific configuration.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
