I wanted to see what do you guys like on a DD?, Forget the Plat too much $$$. I wanted to do more research on these watches (DD) any websites deicated to the DD?.

I ordered the books on the Rolex but it'll be here in 5 days. I need more info on the DD. I still havent seen the one my Jewerler wanted to sell (busy with work) me. But either way I cant get it any time soon

Just spent over $6,000. for my wife's DJ in Maui, HI which the honeymoon alone was a fortune.

Also have to get her dad a Rolex FIRST for his Birthday in Dec, Then I can get mine (DD or GMT whatever I get a deal on) then Im done with my collection

LOL

I voted YG because that's what I've got.

ROLEX4EvEr · 20 September 2006, 12:59 PM

Rock love ure collection! If you dont mind me asking.What year is that DD?

GerardoG · 20 September 2006, 01:08 PM

...see my pic here (left)....

ROLEX4EvEr · 20 September 2006, 01:11 PM

GerardoG Its such a small pic expaned it it does look excellent. I pretty much agree with everyone that the WG is nice but looks to much like my SS DJ. I think a YG looks Classic and stands out more than WG. I never had a Gold watch thats why I think the DD is perfect.

wg is what voted for

AJC · 20 September 2006, 04:20 PM

I am not a gold person but if I was it would be yellow gold,besides if it was WG no-one would know.

JJ Irani · 20 September 2006, 05:14 PM

Have to agree with Aaron. If it's gold, it must be YELLOW!!

I love this watch on Oyster bracelet and concealed clasp. Beauty!!

RogerF · 20 September 2006, 05:19 PM

Those pics look RG which would be my choice (if that was one of the choices)

However I dont like the oyster bracelet on the DD, the President bracelet is unique to the DD and I feel looks better on it. But that could be because I feel too many watches are offered with the Oyster. Off topic but I really wish rolex would release a few more bracelets.

JJ Irani · 20 September 2006, 05:20 PM

You're right, Roger....that one is Rose Gold!!

Well then that would be my personal choice on a pres bracelet. I LOVE IT.

padi56 · 20 September 2006, 05:53 PM

Not a lover of any gold in watches myself just plain SS, but if arm was twisted if would be rose gold.

Yes JJ that was one of the best I have ever seen,the dial hands were genuine Rolex.But that simple mistake of getting serial/model numbers ars# about face, I would have bought it.But like I said the guy did buy it as a genuine Rolex,and pretty sure would have fooled most.And when we got the back off, his face dropped,to see a ETA 2824-2T,But it was the top range guilt movement,and when my watchmaker friend tested the gold it was just under the 18ct.

WOW!! Padi, that must have been the Mother of all Fakes!! Wonder what a watch like that would actually cost the maker and then that would give us some idea of how much profit he's making!!

Agree and if I did not get the bracelet off to check serial it surely fooled me.Dont think many people carry a Rolex case opening tool around with them.As to profit, well again how many did the maker sell,against in reality how much does the genuine watch cost to produce.If we knew that IMHO, we would all have a very sharp shock indeed.

Prince · 20 September 2006, 08:12 PM

Yellow Gold...

Freddy, the DD is a ser. no. 913xxxx, which makes it a 1985-86 vintage.

20 September 2006, 11:27 PM

The choice here basically boils down to how showy you want to be, IMHO.

The DD is the most blinged out Rolex for sale so it is there to make a statement. If you relish attention, go for YG. If you want to be more stealthy, go WG.

Personally I don't like gold watches so I voted for WG.

mailman · 21 September 2006, 08:19 AM

Out of the choices you have I voted WG, but if I were going to get one it would be RG

mike · 21 September 2006, 08:33 AM

I said YG. I don't really do gold,but if I had to choose....

C.J. · 21 September 2006, 08:41 AM

Yellow Gold, President bracelet, white dial, stick markers
