New to me neo-vintage

At least I think that's the right description of era. 18238 "T" serial, safe queen. Purpley/coppery patina, immaculate dial, came as a full kit. My first DayDate. Big step for me as I've been a SS guy forever with a little dabbling into two tones. Feels at home on the wrist to me though.
