Not that the OP should necessarily take this into consideration - I vote they buy what they like most, of course. But, which dial config is the most 'classic' daydate dial would you say?

I much prefer fluted bezels but I find the platinum reference 118206 with the glacier dial to be very attractive also. My wrist is a flat 7.25" but I think it is a good fit.

I really like your watch

I’ve been thinking about a DD recently and this is what I would like.

Congratulations.

I love the the 36 and the 40. I had purchased a mint 18238 as I wanted the classic size, even with 7.25in wrists. It has moved on and I may consider a 40 some day, although the allure of the 36 is strong for me as a dress piece. If you decide on a 36 I think the 18238 is one of the best values as it gives you the double quick set and sapphire glass. That's as old as I would go. However ALL daydates are special IMO so good luck with your search and update with pics! A few shots of mine, gone but definitely not forgotten!

Had a 36mm, but could not stop longing for the 40.. the band itself is other worldly.

Congratulation! 40mm was the right choice IMHO.

When it comes to Rolex it does not get any better than the DayDate

Really Stunning. Congratulations.

I went with a 18238. 36mm with double quickset. Very happy, and quite reasonable as far as PM Rolexes are concerned.

DC116710LN · 29 July 2020, 12:45 AM

Congrats! Nice choice

Hey man this is a beautiful watch, very classy.
I would say go for it for sure. Good luck

Warregl · 29 July 2020, 02:51 AM

I went vintage, an 1803. I liked the smaller 36 as all of my other watches are sport models and I just wanted a vintage watch, something close to my birth year.

And personally I think the value for the money is very high on a vintage DD. Good luck!
