Haven't posted on this Day-Date thread for a while. Said it before and will day it again. Love the Day-Date. The quintessential Rolex in my opinion.

The day-date is the cat's meow. I achieved the goal of a birthyear model, but I find myself wanting another with a variant dial of some kind... two day-dates are better than one.... variety is the spice of life, etc. Right??? :D

...And, it begins!

Don't do it. From my experience the TT Sub compliments the DD really well.

If possible, save up and add a DD. Both fantastic pieces that go well in a rotation together!

My first Day-Date. K Series, old style clasp. Bought this last Saturday. Dropped it off yesterday at Hong Kong RSC for a checkup and service.
