Ok guys. . . the Rolex PM bug has me bit. I'm thinking about adding one or the other right now to use as a daily wearer to replace the BLNR. I prefer PT to WG but already have a Platona and don't like the DD 40 in PT. I also ruled out the BLRO already as I wasn't a fan of the bezel when I saw it IRL. Curious to know which of the 2 options you all prefer as a daily wearer?

HL65 · 6 September 2016, 04:04 AM

WG Green dial DD40 all day long. Such a special piece and absolutely love it. In fact I have on my short list as well and if it wasn't back ordered now would likely have! Lots of WG Subs out there but I see no WG DD40 Anniversary dials and I personally like that.

I prefer the YG Sub with the blue sunburst dial over the WG Sub. The new green WG DD40 is simply gorgeous!

Chadridv · 6 September 2016, 04:18 AM

since you already own a PM sports watch, well PM sports royalty that is, i'd go for the DD40. The green dial is amazing.

Cru Jones · 6 September 2016, 04:20 AM

This one is beyond easy: anniversary DD40 all day long.

Yes, this would be my Sub/DD combo.

GB-man · 6 September 2016, 04:35 AM

DD for me as I'm not fond of subs with pcls.

BNA/LION · 6 September 2016, 04:40 AM

Day Date 40 WG Green Dial

brandrea · 6 September 2016, 04:44 AM

The anniversary dial is stunning in person.

TheRolexKingofLV · 6 September 2016, 05:22 AM

DD Green Dial

watchwatcher · 6 September 2016, 05:36 AM

OK. While I have to agree that the green dial is stunning, I am not much of a fan of the DD b/c of the lack of adjustable bracelet. I think it's crazy to have a solid gold watch, which is going to wear heavy, not have a great fit. Are you listening, Mr. Rolex?

So my vote is going to go with the sub here....although I agree with Neil and Kyung that the YG/Sunburst combo is what I would do (and did

).

ap1 · 6 September 2016, 05:57 AM

I like the dd option 100% to add to your paltona - can't think of a better Rolex powerhouse duo. Now one thing to consider, given the color on paltona - maybe pair with wg in the grey stripes or black sunburst for a more muted daily? Dunno, just my 2cents. I do love the green though, a beauty no doubt

avilhena · 6 September 2016, 06:04 AM

Even thought I own a WG Sub and really adore it, for a daily use I would choose the new green DD. I think it is more appropriate for a daily

drgoro · 6 September 2016, 06:19 AM

You have no idea how gorgeous the green DD is in real life; I say this with no hesitation.. Perfection.

DeeTee · 6 September 2016, 06:49 AM

Wear the Platona daily.
All my other watches are gathering dust.

Vinyasa · 6 September 2016, 07:13 AM

The DD40 WG Green Dial would nicely complement your Nautilus 5712 and Platona, IMO.

rebel_1 · 6 September 2016, 09:07 AM

If the choice was a RG DD40 with green dial, I'd vote for that one. For some reason I don't like WG DDs.

1st amg · 6 September 2016, 09:09 AM

I love the WG sub, it glitters in light and just has this beautiful sparkle that I adore. I think you can definitely wear it as a daily as it goes with every situation. Dressy or not.

I really like the smurf, but am absolutely in love with the new green dial dd40. Dd40 for me

Professorfingers · 6 September 2016, 09:23 AM

I've always wanted a DD, but will never own one-can't afford it. So, this would be my choice.

armen34 · 6 September 2016, 09:42 AM

Dd40 but I'd go with pt, what's wrong with 2 pt watches?

you make an excellent point

youthagainsttt · 6 September 2016, 11:36 AM

I'd say a 2-tone bluesey

But if I had to choose, the DD40 as you already have 2 blue dial watches and a Day complication is kindof rare

dadonn2 · 6 September 2016, 12:02 PM

A dead heat in the voting but among posters, the DD is overwhelming favorite. Given the platona, I'd vote DD.

Hodog16 · 6 September 2016, 12:13 PM

Daily wearer the 116619 works great. It's funny but PMs for me only work with certain models, like I love the WG GMTII and Sub but am not interested in WG DD. YG DD is great but don't like it in Daytona, which I prefer in RG, etc etc.

I agree going platinum would definitely have chosen the Daytona. I love the platinum DD dials but don't like the smooth bezel.

kilyung · 6 September 2016, 12:20 PM

The Sub for me.

Gaijin · 6 September 2016, 02:22 PM

I'd go with the Sub only because I don't like fluted bezels.

Star Ferry · 6 September 2016, 02:36 PM

Here's how I see it -- you already have a Platona. If you get a WG Sub, then you have another PM sport model, but in what context would you choose to wear it over the Platona ?

The green dial DD40 is the more special watch and will complement rather than compete with the Platona

DD40, that green dial is so nice.

Ruud Van Driver · 6 September 2016, 02:47 PM

I would go Sub but only because I prefer sports watches to dress pieces
