Yes there is some wear in the bracelet but considering it's age still.plenty of future life in it.

That looks really good. I don't think the 18238 has the ceramic sleeves on the bracelet screws/pins but I could be wrong.

I just recently bought a 228238 thinking it would be just for special occasions, but I wear it all the time. Just a great looking watch.

Really excellent for a 33-year-old watch.
