Which Rolex Day-date 228206 or 228238?
Hello my friends:thumbs:
I have a watch problem . Everyday I am wearing a Rolex Submariner 116610 for work.. But I have also a few others in the bank safe. Currently I have 6 special watches there. This one: 31242411kr.jpg But I want to restructure something and increase my collection qualitatively. I want to have a Daydate in my collection. I don't know Rolex 228238 witch the black diamond dial or Rolex 223806 Platin The exchange would look like this: Rolex 228238 witch the black diamond dial vs Rolex 116509 31242483vz.jpg Rolex 223806 vs 116509 and 116660 (Can I live with a free place in my collection box?) 31242484be.jpg My collection should be not only Hichwerig but also special and stable in value. What would you do in my place ?? Thanks for the advice ... and sorry for my bad english |

I think a YG DD would fit perfectly in this white metal collection.

While I love the platinum, based on your collection, go for the YG. Plus you wear your sub daily, trust me you will miss it.

I never thought I'd say this, but I prefer the gold to the platinum in the case. You already have the Daytona, and I wouldn't want to give up the Dblue

Wow...what a stellar collection.
In all honesty, I think the platinum fits in better. That is, if you can live with an empty space. |

Are you certain you would you wear a yellow gold watch? Given the stealth nature of your gorgeous collection, yellow gold diamond markers seems like quite a departure. If you would, I'd go YG. You've got the "platinum only" glacier blue dial covered with the platona.

On the other hand, the DD in YG is not so blinkblik - rather noble. A DD in WG is too boring for me, every clock in the collection is something special ... So far, I've never worn a YG watch, but I like it very much. On the other hand, would platinum be much nobler? But if that works well with one less clock and one more platin blue dial ? |

I think the YG DD rounds things off quite nicely for your collection. That would be my pick.

I'll vote for the platinum. I just think the platona and platinum DD (...playdate??) as a pair are unbeatable.

Hard to turn down platinum, but based on your current collection, YG wins.

Great collection. I would think that if you really wanted to go YG you would have. Based on the watches you own I would go with the Platinum Day Date 40 all day long. It is an amazing watch and would be a great addition.
