Which DD40 should I pursue this year given the state of my current collection..

YG Champagne Romans or YG Champagne Baguettes

elcompa · 22 March 2018, 03:02 PM

Of those that you present for potential selection in the pic, I would lean toward the YG diamond champagne dial...just to be a bit different from the RG Romans you already have. I like that you havd penciled in the Platinum DD40 model as I would thing that would be best and very different as well.

May I ask if you have considered the Platinum model with the ice blue dial? That would be great and very different as well, if you are going to stay with a President for your next choice.

Yes, also have the platinum model in mind.

nyc2la · 22 March 2018, 03:05 PM

Of those two, the diamond dial. Other considerations are the Roman silver dial YG, or as mentioned above, the platinum DD40. A pic of the latter for good measure.

Good to hear. I think that will differentiate / put enough spread in your collection. A little varience it always nice. I have thin wrists and am a bit older, otherwise I would have gone for a DD40 plat too.

How do you like the bezel on the platinum? True that it's a scratch magnet?

peterpl · 22 March 2018, 04:41 PM

Get the YG with the diamond dial. Looks boss!!

Flex368 · 22 March 2018, 05:26 PM

YG diamond dial.

dmitrii_ · 22 March 2018, 10:28 PM

A lot of love for the diamond dial here.

Normally not into diamonds on a watch but these are so subtle.

dmitrii_ · 24 March 2018, 11:10 AM

More torn than I was before. Love everything about platinum except for the bezel.

I’m careful with it, but I don’t baby it. It has hairline scratches, but they don’t bother none. Don’t worry about it, it’s worth it, I promise.

Chadridv · 24 March 2018, 11:26 AM

Platinum or WG with blue dial.

Kneecough · 24 March 2018, 12:07 PM

I like the baguette markers. Also consider the new white gold dd40 with meteorite dial and diamond markers.

Uppersouth · 24 March 2018, 12:12 PM

I think you need a white dial in your collection.

dmitrii_ · 24 March 2018, 12:56 PM

Not into the white dial.
Yellow Gold would be champ.
Plat would be ice blue diagonal motif.

Never seen that before. Interesting combination.

nyc2la · 24 March 2018, 03:03 PM

If you like diamonds, this is another to consider, it was a close 2nd for me, but the motif / markers dial won. This is a beauty though (pic from Rolex site):

mahefa · 24 March 2018, 04:21 PM

Platinum DD40, best watch i have acquired. It is not a scratch magnet at all. And if scratched, platinum just changes it’s form :D

You already have DD so you know many qualities of this fine watch, but platinum will give you some extra i would say.

Justindo · 24 March 2018, 04:29 PM

I think you need a platinum in ice blue in your collection!

thedips · 24 March 2018, 04:39 PM

You have an awesome assortment. That plat meteorite is stunning

alexxelor · 24 March 2018, 08:52 PM

yg 36 mm ?

brandrea · 24 March 2018, 08:59 PM

If you’re stuck on adding another Rolex to your collection. I’d go with the Platimun as it adds a bit more variety and color to your collection.

If it were me, in that price range, I’d look at adding a Patek 5711 or AP 15202 if you can find them

strettyend · 24 March 2018, 09:03 PM

PT is nice but I don't feel the bezel is very special. YG/Champ/Baguette would be my pick.

mineral · 24 March 2018, 09:51 PM

I would suggest the platinum also. The feeling of wearing platinum just great.

Not falling for any hype watches, saw a 5711 being offered today for 48K. I'll take a platinum dd40 over a stainless patek anyday of the wk. For 52 you can have a rg 5711.

I actually prefer the motif on the platinum over the baguette dial. Think you made the best choice.

dmitrii_ · 25 March 2018, 03:57 AM

Wow, the platinum dd40 really picked up steam. Beginning to dominate the poll.
