A Very Special Incoming

Last week I had the opportunity to buy one of two beautiful PM Rolex watches. A stunning everose Daytona with chocolate dial OR the exceptionally beautiful DD40 green anniversary dial.
My Birthday is tomorrow and I had always intended to buy a special piece and these were the two I had shortlisted.
I already own a DD40 with brown motif dial and i own a YG 116508 green dial Daytona, 116519LN OF Daytona as well as a steel Daytona (black dial).
My other half said I was crazy to consider either of these two pieces due to already owning similar models and I was inclined to agree, but then i tried the watches in question on...
I spent several sleeples nights trying to make a decision and in the end the stunning green roman numeral dial was too good to resist!
To me the Day Date 40 is a perfectly proportioned watch, the bracelet is up there with the best and that green dial just sets it apart from the rest. I definitely have a preference for everose gold over yellow gold, I find the warmer tone suits my skin better and is (slightly) more low key lol.
Many people may question my sanity buying the same reference i already own with a different dial...but they each have such unique identities and I look forward to enjoying this incredible piece for many years to come. I have included some pictures for comparison and I would love to know your thoughts...is it silly to buy the same watch with a slight difference in your opinion? Would you do the same? Either way I am extremely happy with my choice.
I also recieved a very welcome phone call from my AD about another potential VERY sought after piece that there may be an opportunity for me to acquire next month as a 'thank you' for my loyalty....watch this space!
I am well aware that we are all slightly 'crazy' when it comes to watches compared to the average person, but my goodness there is not much that makes me happier than a new Rolex!
