I'd say DD 40 out of those choices.

Thanks to everyone for their responses. It's an interesting poll that's for sure!

I got rid of the DD due to size, 36mm, small. I love the Glacier blue dial!

I needed something bigger so for me the DDII has been the front runner even though the Daytona is awesome as well. I have tried them all and like them all also.

Tough decisions ahead.

Platona is the nicest IMO.

I'm partial to the Sky-Dweller myself, but I would love to be faced with the same dilemma!

The Platinum Daytona is my preference.
Its just the best all round wow watch with a sporty edge you will never get from a DD or a Sky-Dweller.
Who cares if it doesn't have a date or the stop watch is just for looks, it rocks!!!

Would you rather look as cool as a rock star/sporting icon, or look like a guy who is past all that???

Looking at the poll results, its an easy choice

Just do it

I recently tried on the DD40 Platinum and for some reason, it did not sing, but the Platona is a completely different story. It went from a must have to an incoming in less than a month!

what a great dilemma

cant really make the decision for you

but personally would go for the platona if i was more of a sport person, and the 40 if i was a more formal guy

You had a DD, so change things up with the Platona (if it's big enough). Otherwise, DDII over DD40 for you, for that extra size/look.

Can't vote because of tapatalk but my vote would go to the DD40. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Platinum Daytona is the most versatile IMHO.

Look forward to incoming!
