IMO a SS DD is a race to the bottom and antithetical to everything the day date has ever stood for. Hope I never see it.

Another here who'd be all over it.. I hate to say it but PM is no good for everyDAY wear. It would be a terrible move, but I'd like one.

I guess there are new Rolex fans joining everyday. Many of them love the ss pepsi and want to buy new with no interest in used ones. Rolex answers their calls. |

Not many, I hope, if it ever happens?
It’s true that the DD remains the only reference left in the line up not to be blessed by SS and tradition would dictate it remains that way, but I’m not so sure. You’re average non WIS pribabky doesn’t even realise they are only available as PM references only and I imagine most potential Rolex owners probably see it as an overpriced watch and nothing special. Offer it in SS and they will sell by the boat load, but there again, Rolex might as well let Tudor re-introduce an updated Prince DD instead if they’re concerned about ruining the PM only placement of the watch. |

Maybe. I wouldn't know. I'd sooner scratch SS though.

I acknowledge that Rolex is changing its own rules, but an SS DD would be a much bigger shift than an SS Pepsi C, especially considering that the original Pepsi was on SS to begin with. |

Pepsi pm models
I know this won't be popular to the precious metal but, I've always said it was a marketing ploy and it did work

I agree with you. Although it wouldn’t surprise me, and from recent events I’d say all bets are off. But I don’t think we will ever see a full steel or TT DD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would not put it past Rolex to eventually release the day date in steel, with a brown bezel, on a rubber nato, covers all bases.

A SS Day Date will be the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse, so when released the entire Earth shall first burn, then implode.
So, no use worrying about it. |

Most probably, as many have already said, sooner rather than later. I would think that Rolex would not offer the Presidential bracelet on a SS or TT version........the DD would/should only be available with Oyster or Jubilee

Rolex will never and I emphasize NEVER release a SS Day-Date. It just would not be a Day-Date anymore. I think people see what they’ve done with the Sky-Dweller and think the DD is the same. The Sky-D has no history. It was only 5 years old. The DD is the quintessial status Rolex. The “I made it” watch. This statement can only be made with gold or platinum. You can also forget about ever seeing that bracelet in steel except for the fakes.
The Datejust was an 18k watch and that’s the one they choose to produce in SS and TT for the masses. No good reason to destroy the DD’s legacy because of current trends. It has been produced in 18k gold for 62 years now.

Another reason it would never be released is that it would cannibalize the Datejust completely just like the Day-Date eventually cannibalized 18k Datejust sales. Rolex just killed off the 116238 and it’s probably gone forever now. The only solid gold Datejusts going forward will be the Lady Datejust 28 and 31 on the president bracelet.

if you want the Day function on SS buy a Tudor. Seems pretty easy to find...

Infinity Basels.
Seriously though, I think it will never happen because the Day-Date has always been associated with precious metals. I don't see then bucking this trend. |

What about a day-date-month in PM? I think we will see that before a DD in SS. No way the "Presidential" is going SS... in my opinion.

it will be exactly as many years as the world's gold and platinum supplies last. Its getting harder to find and sooner or later we will run out.... the SS Day Date gets launched then.
