Save the Day Dates for PM......

williamstone · 15 November 2018, 08:50 AM

I'll pass on this one haha.

codecow · 15 November 2018, 08:50 AM

Yes, especially with a Pepsi bezel.

Instant, day and date together.

A stainless day date is completely appropriate. The PM doesn't make it any more special than any other PM Rolex. IMO, all Rolex should be available in SS, Plat, Gold, particularly the SkyD. It is the most complicated and useful complication for most, a real looker and great presence. If the SkyD is stainless, why not the DD? DD is a step down for me. Keep in mind some $50K PP are only SS.

crowncollection · 15 November 2018, 11:28 AM

no i would not support that

Exactly what he said! stainless DD, how undignified

JonaG · 15 November 2018, 07:19 PM

And add to the SS woes? + PM is on another level. I tried a WG sky-Dweller on last weekend, wow, that thing blew my mind...something to aspire to...just like the DD.

tkdgod · 25 December 2018, 10:36 PM

Terrible move.... it should always be in a PM verison only.

tyler1980 · 25 December 2018, 10:37 PM

i wouldn't want it in SS.

peterpl · 25 December 2018, 11:14 PM

If they ever did this I would know Rolex was no longer the brand for me.

I'd be running and running far and fast away from the brand. Many I know would do the same.

Jim Smyth · 25 December 2018, 11:21 PM

I wouldnt put it past Rolex at this point. Nothing is sacrate.

TswaneNguni · 25 December 2018, 11:34 PM

nope

Dr.Brian · 26 December 2018, 12:15 AM

It’s a legend. Offering it is steel would tarnish that legendary status.
It actually would decrease my interest in getting one, not increase it.
The Date Just is a fine SS watch and covers that market very well.

904VT · 26 December 2018, 12:17 AM

I don't think they will and i don't wish for one. The Day Date's bracelet in 904 steel would cost too much to develop to only throw on one model. Exactly why you see the Jubilee on the GMT Master (besides differentiating from WG models). It's a lose lose for Rolex

The Argonaut · 26 December 2018, 01:05 AM

I think it would be outstanding. An iconic watch in everyday wearable form. Rolex won’t do it though. Tudor do!

If they don’t want to sell any WG models.

rmlovett1 · 26 December 2018, 01:15 AM

Really hoping Rolex doesn’t do this...

lenfried29 · 26 December 2018, 01:49 AM

I don't like DD in PM, never mind in SS.

Clasper · 26 December 2018, 01:51 AM

In fairness they did a good job of the SS SkyDweller so why not.

Apart from the SS Datejust has one small part of the puzzle missing...

(the clue is in the name....justdate...oh! no! I mean Datejust...!) lol

challer · 26 December 2018, 07:11 AM

A DD and DJ are the same watch. Different bracelet. The infatuation for these is beyond me.

Agree.They never will .It will destroy the icon.

ras47 · 26 December 2018, 09:02 AM

I'm a huge fan of stainless steel watches. I much prefer them over PM. But for the DD, it seems like sacrilege to make it in SS. The DD needs to remain PM-only.

topcat30093 · 26 December 2018, 09:13 AM

The DD was a grail piece for many years and one of the reasons why, was because it was made of PM.

Personally, I hope that Rolex NEVER make it in S/S as it would lessen the statue that it has achieved.

timedate · 26 December 2018, 09:19 AM

having just bought a daydate, the answer is no way to ss daydate, but i thought this before buying one,

mines YG, i never understood why people want white gold either. You could eat YG it looks so attractive.

Amex4711 · 26 December 2018, 09:33 AM
