Bark???
When I was kid I saw a man wearing a bark finish day date. Ever since that has been my grail Rolex. This year my wife got me one for my bday. It is a 79 18038 I was born in 1983. Just a bit of back story. My question is regarding the rarity and how long was this feature offered? I will add a pic of mine and I will post pics when I get the bracelet back from being de stretched and tightened up.

That bark reference would be the 18078; an 18038 would come with fluted bezel and "regular" president bracelet.
That being said, the one in your pic is very nice. Someone more knowledgeable than I will come along with production dates. I know they made the 1807 references at least as early as late 60's. You don't see them nearly as often as the standard DD, and I personally like the look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Feature was offered through the 1807 and 18078 and 18248 day dates are bark and some date and no date Rolexes are also bark.
