Visited a Rolex boutique today and was able to try on the DD40 in all four different metals. I never had the chance before to see them all at the same time.

soran · 20 March 2019, 12:14 AM

So alike but so different. I'd take the yellow with baguettes

Brew · 20 March 2019, 12:18 AM

One of each, please!

JohnTz · 20 March 2019, 12:18 AM

PT all the way!

strettyend · 20 March 2019, 12:19 AM

Why did you post the platinum! Have been trying to get it out of my mind

Roleplay · 20 March 2019, 12:20 AM

I was in the same situation two months ago. I really liked the Everose/Green, but then chickened out on the coloured gold. Then I seriously considered the white gold version but just couldn't do the fluted bezel. In the end I chose the most understated one.

Prefer the classic look of a 36

Congrats on your YG with diamond dial.

And people say there is a shortage!

Well, there was a shortage. Not a single SS or TT professional reference available.

When I asked about availability the sales rep clearly pointed out that all these 'extremely rare' references mysteriously can become available instantly after buying one of the DDs.

Pt and WG anything is a hard ask in London. No Pt DD's in 40mm at several AD's. Its madness

the white metals in particular are way hot.

Flex368 · 20 March 2019, 07:00 PM

WG with olive dial is my favorite among these four although I always thought a DD needs to be YG.

My preference exactly but I guess your thought is also right

Were these offered to you with any discount?

adawil2002 · 20 March 2019, 07:36 PM

The White Gold is my favorite.

I didn´t discuss any discount as this was only a boutique I was visiting during a business trip.

I´m pretty confident that my AD I have a buying history with will be happy to discount any DD40 in case I want to go for it.

Nice watches. I wish the DD had a micro adjustment for the bracelet and it would almost be a perfect watch for me.

brandrea · 20 March 2019, 08:44 PM

Very nice Felix ... all four are beauties in their own right

Totally agree

Adam K. · 21 March 2019, 03:48 PM

+3. WG with olive is sublime. A perfect pairing of bezel, case material, and dial color & design.

Carry The Interest · 21 March 2019, 04:12 PM

Everose + olive dial is such a charming combination. My favorite configuration for the DD40.

I completely agree with you, it complements each color very well and is just stunning.

The lack of micro adjustment is what kept me from buying one so far. Still undecided if i should go for it.

I don´t think I´d wear my YG Sub that often if it didn´t come with the Glidelock feature.

GSBC · 21 March 2019, 07:01 PM

I’ve tried all the above (and a few other variations), as well as Everose with the white dial, which is also quite elegant.
I ended up purchasing the Everose with the anniversary olive dial.

If you have the opportunity, do take a look at them under the sun and natural lighting. The spotlights in most AD’s tend to throw things off.

You can’t go wrong with just about most DD40’s, however. It is simply the king of the Rolex line.

shirtguy · 21 March 2019, 10:55 PM

As a first, you need to get a yg, that is the ultimate dd
I loved the rose with green but for practically, I went with the yg dd 40 white face

To me its pure class and an easy dial to read

j.alex · 21 March 2019, 11:17 PM

Plat motif dial for me, is the most stunning watch ever...

I already have a YG Sub on bracelet and I like the available dials for the WG version better than the YG dials.
