To me, it is the quintessential Rolex. Perfect size for this type of watch. It wears larger than you would think.

This...

Classic proportions
Enamel white dial

YG DD is Rolex’s flagship model!

Go for the 40 if you can afford it if not the 36 is perfect on the wrist!

White gold ~ white dial ~ anything goes with white so it shouldn't ever feel out of place. Great looking piece!

Sorry for the long delay. $41.5K USD cash, plus I gave them an old 18K gold Bubbleback with a fairly sloppy redial. I was very happy with this deal, especially since some time remained on the original 5-year warranty for the DD40.

Loving this thread.

Question:

What are your thoughts on YG with Black dial (with or w/o baguettes)

I am looking for a YG DD40, and love so many, but am quite sure the black dial is for me.
I don’t see a lot in here, wondering what others think of the black.

Won’t hurt my feelings. Just curious.

I bought a silly “Peugeot” on amazon just to see if I could handle a striking gold watch (first time ever)..and with a black dial.

Holy cow, the minute I put it on I was sold. Had a few Rolex’s already, and sadly sold them. The local AD knows my goal was always the DD...and now, it may be happening.

Yes, I had a green sub and an all black GMT, and sold them a few years back for a loss... and now.... good lord.

Oh well. I enjoyed what I had. But all of them were merely steps to the DD.

Anyway, thoughts on a YG DD40 with black dial?
I wear slacks and nice dress shirt every day to work, occasional suit/tie, so the formality works for me.

Thanks folks.

Never sell your SS Rolex. That would have been a perfect 3 piece combo with a DD40. Dropping this much cash you have to be 100% certain. Try them all on before choosing. As of now Im leaning towards the black dial with baguettes. Good Luck!Screenshot_20200822-173632_Chrome.jpg

Thank you for the thread as I love hearing what people think about one of Rolex's most note worthy models. In my own personal opinion, I think the most prestigious and timeless day-date model is the President. An article I recently came across online, said this:

"While the [Day-Date President] collection has evolved considerably over the past several decades, its core design remains the same. This enduring power, coupled with an impressive reputation, makes the Rolex Day-Date President such a widely sought-after wristwatch among some of the world’s more respected figures."

I believe the President is the undisputed champ among the Day-Date models, but what do y'all think? I look forward to hearing what popular opinion has to say!

*** Opinions Requested ***

Wanted to jump on this thread with; "Which one would you choose?"

I am leaning towards the Olive Green dial for the distinctivness, but the dial is a flatter colour. The Chocolate dial looks stunning and really pops in the light.

[Xenon]

Easy choice

[synrrgy]

WG or Plat for me!

[nyc2la]

So many great options. This is my pick.

Hard to beat a 18238 yellow gold, champagne dial. ultimate classic day-date.
