NON-QUICKSET (debuted in mid-1960's)
1807
1807 with reverse-barked bracelet (outer links barked instead of inner link)
1807 in white gold

SINGLE-QUICKSET (debuted in late 1970's)
18048 (engine turned + barked bezel. Shown with onyx dial)
18078 (standard barked bezel. Shown with sandstone dial)
18079 (standard barked bezel. White gold model)
18108 (Barked bezel with 12 diamonds. Here's one with a rare dial)
18308 (Barked bezel with 12 diamonds. I'm unsure of the difference between 18308 and 18108)
18348 (Full diamond bezel)

DOUBLE-QUICKSET (debuted in late 1980's)
18248 (engine turned + barked bezel. Shown with wood dial)
18249 (engine turned + barked bezel. White gold model)

DATEJUSTS (Check out those barked jubilee bracelets!)
1607
1607 in rose gold (The only barked rose gold Rolex)
16078 (Shown with houndstooth dial)
16248
6927 (26mm ladies' model)
69278 (26mm ladies' model, shown with tiger-eye dial)
Ladies' Pearlmasters also exist in barked versions. Anybody know the model number of that one?

MISC.
5100 (This rare early Rolex quartz model was available barked)
1511 (The only 34mm barked Rolex)
1807 with Morellis Finish (This isn't actually barked, but sometimes people mistakenly call it that)
Prototype white gold Submariner Date (Bracelet is barked. The watch shown went for $600k+ at auction. There are only 3 prototypes like this according to Hodinkee)
Afaik the difference between a 18108 and 18308 is the movement. 18108 should be single quick set movement 3055 whereas 18308 runs with double quick set movement 3155. But don't know exactly when the change occured, should be end of 80'ish. So the 183xx DD imho would belong to the double quick set range but I might be wrong...
