My advice would be to forget the 18238. I was hung up on the double quick set model at one time and then, one day it hit me. I sure as hell don't need a model with a quick-set day feature. Why? Because I rarely, if ever, wake up in the morning and not know what day it is.
While it is nice to have the quick-set date feature, I realized the quick-set day feature was unnecessary and not a requirement when looking to purchase my next Day-Date. I also realized that an 18038 model is significantly less expensive than the 18238 model which is an added bonus. So, I set out to find a nice 18038 which I eventually found. It was a super nice, a one owner model and was recently service by Rolex. Additionally it had the very rare black pyramid dial that really had a nice nice. This would be my second pyramid dialed Day-Date, the first one having the creme dial which is much more common. So, that's my advice, take it or leave it. Good luck with the hunt and enjoy whatever you decide. jP

Pricing - Nice 18038 sets, $14,000-$16,000, nice 18238 sets $16,000-$18,000. Of course prices are based on condition, dial color, bracelet condition, type of dial and the link count. Watches with shorted links should have at least $300 per link deducted from the asking price and watches with excessively stretched bracelets should be avoided.

I certainly haven’t been following the markets lately, and I don’t know what data this is relying on, but the 57% number for one month seems … extreme.
That would be roughly $11K to $17K, so … maybe? . . |

I like the first one, it will clean up very nice.
Gladly pay more for a nice example like that one. Deciding on price and accepting lesser quality is a sure way to get buyers remorse
