Middle is a 36mm (my moms)
RG Olive is the classic DD40. Had to have it. Platinum stick dial I purchased when my son was born. Would get a YG 40 also but not sure which dial I’d go for at this point. Happy hunting!

I’ve made a decision. I’ll let everyone know once I pick up the piece likely this coming weekend. This is a big decision for me because I’m not a watch flipper... I can always sell a day date but I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my AD So I tend to keep my watches long term. My concern is well I wear it more than my sea dwelller. Not likely. Then I say, “why do I need this..” I have a large collection already but I think I’d wear a white gold model frequently and still wear my patek for dressier occasions.

I can’t stop checking the craftsmanship of this piece. The meteorite is so odd that it casts different reflections in the light. As I drove in car, the vehicle sunlight ceiling had disco ball lighting reflections off the fluted bezel. This is my first day date. I appreciate the feedback. I’m not sure this was worth the money but I do believe it Will become a worthy investment a few years from now. I don’t plan on selling it but I presume if I must, ever.... I’ll at least break even, at least.

I’m amazed at how sporty this piece is. I have no idea why I waited so long to get this. Any of this model. I believe the white gold is very sporty. It’s modern but retro. The meteorite dial comes off as white, but Mop... I like that it has diamonds as well because there nothing about them that’s flashy. This is a watch I can wear without embarrassment or guilt.. I tend to cover my yellow or rose gold pieces.. for fear of robbery, perception, just to avoid “advertising “ anything. With the white gold, I’ve no worries. No one wil know what this piece is. And the few that do will likely think it’s fake anyway. That’s fine by me.

I can tell you now that the RG Olive DD40 will be the "quintessential" DD40 when it's looked back upon historically. Similar to how the YG Champagne DD36 is the classic Day Date 36.

Some time later.l. Still love the day date 40. In public everybody probably thinks it’s stainless steel which is good... I had a link removed... I wish the bracelet had some sort of easy extension.. I bet Rolex addressed this someday. For me, the meteorite dial is on par with any patek dress watches or sports models. This is a very mature piece but it’s not stuffy. I wear it all the time. I don’t think the d d 40 gets enough credit for its sportiness or versatility. It’s a sports model to me. Especially in white gold. I’ve worn this to restaurants, grocery shopping, and while walking... I have never felt overdressed with it. Above that the a d has told me anytime I want to sell it, give them first shot.. which leads me to believe this watch is in pretty high demand.. I’ll never sell it but it makes feel good to know I won’t lose money if I do.

The Olive dial is picking up on me The blue dial is more "modern" looking The meteorite dial looks amazing, classy though I was advised that the blue dial legibility is difficult. But its shades are amazing too... I find the Olive dial interesting and a bit unique I find the Meteorite dial mesmerizing, but on some pictures it looks a bit too white to my taste. Maybe in real, it looks darker? I want my first DD to be WG because RG would probably not fit me and YG is growing but not as much as WG. Maybe YG/champagne dial would be my 2nd pick! So blue, olive or meteorite dial??? |

You can’t go wrong with any day date white or rose gold model. My fav was the blue until I saw the meteorite. It’s a chameleon watch... completely changes in sunlight... it looks white. Grey, beige, icy, but has such texture which somehow makes the markers and hands. more prouncnced ... The blue in direct sunlight would be very easy to read. I was not really a fan of the olive dial in person to be honest with you but I know I’m in the minority. I’d say if you’re going to spend 40,000+ for a watch just get whatever you want. I also firmly believe you’re not going to know if you made the right choice until wearing a watch for 6 to 12 months.. before I bought my day date, the sales guy made me go outside in the sunlight and I wore the blue olive and meteorite dials separately and took pictures. Each one looks so different in direct sunlight. The meteorite dial by far looked the best inside , indoors. The blue looked the best in direct sunlight.. I foresee grabbing a blue dd one day and wearing it for fun... but at some point I’ll have to sell a few pieces too. |

I find it great to have a watch people don't necessary know it's a pm! I don't like attention however I love everything about a DD40! For me it stands the test of time and generations! I have a daytona from 2008 and not wearing it as much as I used to. I'm still hunting for a Pepsi GMT but hate the list BS from ADs. So I walked in this AD i didn't know from a vacation place not so far from me and inquired for a meteorite or Blue dial DD. Got the answer I could get one or the other by August. I didn't ask for a discount because PM scarcity made me think they wouldn't care, but asking never hurts... who knows... I just need to find the best pics/videos of each dial in order to confirm my choice! Meteorite seems to get my favors Thanks for your insight!! And congrats for getting that beautiful piece! |

If you are simply looking at colours, perhaps you’re right. I can tell the difference between a Presidential bracelet to any other Rolex bracelet at much further than 6 ft.
