So lately I've had the itch to buy myself a daydate.
I was looking at the Daydate ii 41mm discontinued now and the new 40mm models. I don't wear any jewelry besides my wedding ring but would really like to go with either yellow gold or rose gold.

I truly love the rose gold with the green dial for the 60th anniversary they came out with.

The thing I'm not crazy about on the 40mm is the last link that's connected to the watch case. Not sure why they did a double link and not a clean solid one like on the 36mm or 41mm IMHO looks better.

Please let me know your opinions on best color combo and size between 41mm and 40mm. I know the 40mm has the new movement with 70hr power reserve which is really nice.

If you have one please post pictures!

Thanks
Tom

I love the 60th rose gold and green dial. I prefer the new dd40

shirtguy · 14 September 2017, 04:24 AM

yg dd 40 with champagne dial, classy and always be in

Amiroo · 14 September 2017, 04:28 AM

I had both. Kept the yellow. In my opinion if you want rose, go AP bcz they do it best. DDII.

I think you've answered your own question, Tom!

Regarding the links, I had to google the watch to look again, and I can say that it doesn't bother me.

WatchingAustin · 14 September 2017, 05:01 AM

rose or white with the green dial

chad362wiley · 14 September 2017, 05:56 AM

rose + green dial is perfection

You · 14 September 2017, 08:08 AM

I also like the Green in either Rose or White.

Also the Blue WG DD

CYKBC · 14 September 2017, 08:16 AM

YG, champagne, stick dials --> greatest of all time

DD40 is the best iteration yet. Don't forget about the ceramic inserts in links to eliminate stretch. That's huge for such a timeless watch.

peterpl · 14 September 2017, 08:37 AM

If your going to get rose gold you need to get Rose with chocolate dial. That is the best combination as the choco dial goes with the Rose hand in hand.

swils8610 · 14 September 2017, 08:43 AM

Yellow gold with white dial.

YG with diamond silver dial.

Old Geezer · 14 September 2017, 10:39 AM

I really like the RG/green and have seriously considered one for myself but I'm afraid it won't stand the test of time. I'm currently in the YG/champagne camp but haven't decided. I vote YG/champagne.

Yg/champagne

Despite having just over a 7inch wrist I do prefer the classic elegance on the 36

Something a lot day dates and datejusts that I prefer smaller.

Having said that I do own a 41, my wife's Wimbledon

Tom, sounds like your heart is with the RG/olive dial. Don't fight it or try to overthink it too much...that's what takes all the fun out of it.

As far as the last link connected to the watch case...I have no idea what you're talking about. The DD40 is a work of art, IMO.

I'm attaching a pic of mine, although it is the WG model, you get the idea.

Maiden · 15 September 2017, 01:52 AM

YG 36mm is my preference, 7.25 - 7.5 in wrist.

Love that combo, however I think it screams "old man watch". I think if you're under 70 you skip the brown dial.

enjoythemusic · 15 September 2017, 07:18 AM

The 40 also has ceramic inserts in the solid bracelet, as this reduces bracelet stretch. Went with the DD40 Everose after much consideration personally. YG is classic of course so get what YOU love.

Enjoy your Time.

Yellow Gold & Champaign Diamond Dial for me...

carlhaluss · 15 September 2017, 10:48 AM

Well, when I first set eyes on a photo of the DD40 60th Anniversary, Everose with olive green dial, I thought it was the nicest watch I had ever seen. Although I have compared other DD40 combos, this still comes out on top. As far as the dial goes, I have the same color on my OP34. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, I will have this DD40 as well.

While I do really like the stick markers on lots of the models, I find the gold Romans really set the dial apart from other dials. The entire combo of Everose, Olive Green, the Roman numeral markers, and the exquisite President bracelet really make this a special watch indeed.

There really are so many DD40 combinations that are winners. One of the reasons I like the DD40 over the DD36 is the end link. It gives more of a seamless look. When I see the DD36, I feel the large end link give the case too square a look.
