[gilibz]

hey guys,
im pretty new to vintage watches - i was watching this 16018 Boiler guage with jubilee bracelet he has also president bracelet he let me choose the option but said the jubilee is the original match to it but i can choose which bracelet the jubilee bit loose but when its on wrist seems fine, whats your guys thinking on its condition? Which bracelet should i go with jubilee/preisdent? sellers says all factory dial and case and all match- price is about 13k usd- watch only. do you think its fair price? Seems that Boiler guage is rare dial....i kinda like it with the arabic numbers :)

I like it too.
The photos of it on the president bracelet really make it look great.
But I agree the jubilee is the correct configuration.
Price seems fair based on a quick search and the link below, but here’s my dilemma.
13k is mighty close to day-date territory, so I would want a 1803 or 18038 instead in that price range.

Yep thats exactly is my dilemma, however- for this price range you wont find good condition dials with 18238 or 18038 - many fake dials out there ... I like the black one or blue. Those factory ones are more expensive so maybe around 15-16k you can get one i guess?

If you’re buying for rarity then it’s a winner. If you’re going to keep wishing it was an 1803 then for that money you’ll find a really good one.
