I also have a DD40 and a Sub. I might wear the DD40 to the pool, but never to the beach. I wouldn't want fine sand/dust getting inside the bracelet and rubbing around (and gold is a lot softer than steel).

Yes take it and enjoy it. I would use my hulk because I don't have a dd40

Absolutely.

I wear mine and all of my PM watches wherever I go. Includes the beach and anywhere else.

dd40 and beach?

Seems like a Jersey Shore thing to me, wearing a YG DD40 to the beach. I wouldn’t, preferring a tool watch like the GMT or a Sub. Sea Dweller too.

“We got a Situation here...” :)

You have a better choice with the Sub but if this is a “personal style” choice I understand why you could wear a DD. Certainly any Rolex Oyster can be a beach /vacation watch.

For me, a matte dial with a splash of red works best at the beach; added benefits if it's a REALLY deep beach...

Sub has fliplock, president bracelet does not. Safer to wear the Sub

It can handle it, but I'd just rather wear a diver.

I'm sure it would be fine, it's an oyster after all.

But, if you've got a sub...surely that would be a better fit?
