Not in a rush. Thankfully this isn't a hype piece, YET.

I am curious. Which watch do you wear the most and the least? Do you have a rotation? I only have 4 Rolex watches, and the DJ41 is clearly the daily beater since the jubilee bracelet is much better at hiding scratches than an Oyster bracelet with polished center links. The other 3 I only wear when I go out and I let the mood and occasion decide which one I am taking. My Rootbeer has gotten the least wear since it's the newest one besides the DJ41 which is 3 weeks old, mainly because it's still pristine and I don't want to scratch it....lol.

Lately the platinum DD40 has been getting the most wear, and the RG DD40 right behind it. The least wear is probably the 16710 (3186 movement)

Do it!!!

You've already got a RG/Plat DD40. The YG is a must. I've always said it the YG DD40 is actually the first one anyone should get. And yes I was like you and actually bought a WG and RG DD40 first before eventually buying a YG one as I always felt I was missing the one I should have gotten first.

Perfect choice. The YG DD 40 with baguette champagne dial is the best choice. I am planning on getting that exact one.

That would be an unreal Dd40 lineup. I do agree that black May be even better

Wow, what amazing collection!

YG Day-Date champaign dial with baguette is the most classic for Day-Date.

RG Day-Date with olive dial is the most gorgeous.

Those are my exact sentiments my friend. I always say that the RG DD40 Olive Dial will be the "classic" DD40 many years from now.

Look out for an incoming on or around April, unless Rolex announces something new that knocks my socks off.

I'm under the same impression but the RG DD40s are starting to gain so much traction that it feels like a ticking time bomb where a year or two down the line they will be astronomical prices .

Outstanding collection! I love a YG DD, and it’d be another great addition to your collection. If I had your collection, I’d be looking for a WG or RG GMT,....finish off the ...one in PM...one in SS....land, sea, air.
