Icon20 NWA - Day Date YG green / 228238
Hi all,

Thought I would share this one as to me it deserves some attention. First watch I pick up without thinking about the next one… even though I thought the olive day date was nice, I always preferred yellow over rose gold and I think the lacquered effect of this dial is hard to beat, especially with the gold roman numerals!

Thanks to both of you for the pics. I'd been wondering what this one looked like "in the flesh" for some time.

For me, if you “only” have one DD, it must be YG. It’s the DD imo.

This green dial is gorgeous.

I generally agree, but if I got the call for the RG Olive, I would make an exception.

Each are my fav DDs. Slight edge to the OPs YG/green.

Currently have zero DDs but would like one. Just one though.

All DD’s are pretty much the best.

Really hard to choose a favourite DD combo but for sure, you’ve got one of the best. Enjoy it
