DD plat v WG Sub.

Completely different I know but after my GMT2C this forum has given me the bug.

I am not in a position yet to get either but out of all the choices available these two are my favourite & the ones I plan to save for.

I couldn't afford both so just asking for opinions which you would go for ?.

If the owners don't mind, I have taken these pics from a WRUW thread.

Just humour me & it gives me a chance to see their beauty again ;)

I already have a black sub, so for variety, I'd choose the....... WG Sub!

With one tool watch in the bag already, I'd say the DD. I predict the next Rolex won't be your last one, so the Sub can be added later...

WG Sub.
If it were up against the DDII, then it would be a closer contest for me.

Both handsome watches, but I prefer the subtle beauty of the Pl DD

I wouldn't swap mine for anything

My first choice would be the wg sub. It's a great looking watch.

In addition, if and when the time comes to add the DD, I wouldn't do the platinum DD, but rather the wg. If I were going to spend that kind of $'s on a dress watch, it would be on a Patek or Lange rather than spending the additional coin on platinum Rolex.
Good luck on your hunt.

Well, you can't go wrong either way. Only marginal differences I can think of is that the Sub might look a bit out of place with a proper suit while DD might look bit out of place in a sporty setting, but either watch can still pull off the job. But, seriously, either way you can't go wrong!

The Platinum day date is amazing, but the WG Sub is the best!
