RG DD40 pictures

Im considering adding a RG DD with baguettes to my collection. Either the chocolate or sundust dial. If anyone has wrist shots it would be appreciated, especially the sundust with baguettes, having trouble finding wrist shots of that one

Damn nice watch, the DD looks so clean with that sundust dial. I feel like theres 20 chocolate dials for every sundust dial. I guess Im in the minority of ppl that prefer the sundust.

Thanks! Me too. I would get the chocolate if I had a big collection but can’t go brown for my only precious metal.

Chocolate dials are already going crazy on the DD40s. They just "work" with RG no matter how you look at it. They fetch premium already although not as much as the Olive yet.

Look at these beautiful pics. Cant deny that it looks absolutely insane and beautiful.

The chocolate looks great on you. My skin, especially when tan, blends with the brown.

What do you think of the chocolate dial with the diagonal motif?

I love motif dials but I got a YG Silver Motif already so I dont want 2 of them.

But yes if you go somewhere and look at the motif choco that is also super super nice. Its basically the same dial as the choco sunburst but they have overlayed a motif pattern on top of it to give it a bit more "Dance" you could say.

Cant go wrong with the Choco motif either. Its a beauty.

Oh my, this looks reeeeeeeeeeeeaaalllly good on you! Honestly I've never considered this dial combination with RG, thinking it's similar to the YG/Champagne dial type of look that in my mind would appear a little bland. But your pics completely changed that. Thanks a ton for sharing

What camera did you use for these shots? These are some of the most color-accurate Rolex RG photos I've ever seen on here. The Everose mix of Rolex is very hard to accurately capture in photos, but these look exactly how it looks in person.

Thanks! I think RG/sundust and YG/champagne make it look like you’re getting more gold, if that makes sense.
