new 218235 incoming next week

i told myself I wouldn't purchase another watch until end of April or maybe even May... I was thinking of the RG skydweller with brown dial. But I've always had my eyes peeled for a BNIB DD2 (218235) I just love this watch.

So a watch dealer friend of mine has a brand new rose gold DD2 with the rose face and diamonds. I have an option for the Ivory and Roman dial as well... I am worried I might get sick of the diamond dial over time... Ideally I'd love teh wave dial, black concentric, brown diamond or roman but it's more difficult to find..

I am going to pick it up as an EARLY birthday present to myself... I'm planning on picking it up monday and will add the Incoming pics

I pulled these need to find better pic to upload of the ivory roman...

Difference in price is $1500 diamond vs Roman...

Thoughts?

I think it's a great looking watch! For my skin tone I would have go with brown Roman but if you try it on and it works for you, go for it!
