Turning 40, gonna treat myself. I’m stuck between metal colors though. Rose does not work with my skin tone. I am ruling out olive and blue dials because they are very specific and I want some degree of versatility.

White on white is a stunner

Yellow. Great idea to get a DD40 for your 40th bday!

I really like the modern version of a classic. Some great dials to chose from in YG as well. All can be bought "right" thru a TS.

Good Luck on your hunt!

GTC · 15 August 2018, 05:48 AM

Most models I would say WG, but not on the DD. White dial YG is my favorite in production DD.

Jp28 · 15 August 2018, 06:10 AM

White gives the versatility

Lemonvr6 · 15 August 2018, 06:11 AM

Anybody seen a white gold white dial in person?

justdate · 15 August 2018, 07:11 AM

Has to be the yellow gold as it’s the classic and iconic Day-Date spec. Perfect for a 40th. I went truly iconic with the champagne stick dial, it will give years of enjoyment.

huncho · 15 August 2018, 07:15 AM

i believe that if it's your first or only day date it should be YG

Fat_ninja · 15 August 2018, 07:38 AM

I voted yellow... but i am biased. I went champagne and romans.

peterpl · 15 August 2018, 08:02 AM

I'm currently doing the same thing. I'm going to flip my Olive dial for a more traditional dial color like white or champagne/silver. I personally think and so does many on here (based on my thread) white dial is the cleanest/most crisp and easy to read combo no doubt. Its an iconic combo as well.

For a DD40 go YG.

If I did YG it would be champagne / stick or roman

If your going Champagne I think sticks would be a better option. The Champagne with the romans the dial is not as easy to read.

AMEX · 15 August 2018, 10:42 AM

I prefer Yellow over white, white just looks like steel

watchmework · 15 August 2018, 10:58 AM

Yellow gold.

WJGESQ · 15 August 2018, 11:08 AM

Yellow.

Would have to be yellow.

Bigsoftee · 15 August 2018, 11:15 AM

Yellow 100% with Champagne Dial, absolute classic, although I am biased as I own one :)

shirtguy · 15 August 2018, 11:46 AM

Same here ,turning 40 and wanted a piece
I went with the dd40 yellow gold Roman white face, it's the most legible dial

brandrea · 15 August 2018, 11:49 AM

What else do you have in your collection?

I prefer white metal but that’s just me. Most will say that the yellow gold DD is the quintessential Rolex.

Nikrnic · 15 August 2018, 12:07 PM

I'd go white gold with the silver stick dial

Post some pictures please. I'm going to get this exact soon.

fskywalker · 15 August 2018, 01:44 PM

Go White!

pde · 15 August 2018, 01:55 PM

I'm a little biased as I have a YG DD40 with champagne/sticks.

In WG, I would pick the silver quadrant/romans. That quadrant dial is really special.

GB-man · 15 August 2018, 02:48 PM

Tough call. It’d be WG for me. Really dig the white Romans and the black with sticks but haven’t seen either in the metal sadly.

jonathan17 · 15 August 2018, 03:16 PM

How about the WG DD40 with the dark rhodium dial / Stick Markers?

Thats a great combo. If your set with white dial roman then the YG DD is the best choice. Good luck

Currently BLNR, Sub C, Green sub C and black gmt C

oysterflexer · 15 August 2018, 11:20 PM

My gf tells me to get WG because YG is out of style

I say, how is anybody gonna know how much money I wasted on my wrist watch?

Go yellow gold. 99.9% of people will think you white gold day date is a stainless steel. People who think they know about watches will think it's a datejust LOL

I really like the Day Date 2 in WG btw... so im not completely jaded
