I have a date-just II SS with white face and gold white bezel. I always loved the day-date bracelet and was looking at upgrading my date-just II for the DDII… But once I had the gold DDII on my wrist, I just did not have the warm and fuzzy with the color of gold on my wrist.

So having said that, while I was searching for the DDII (a conversation was struck about the SS daytona’s and I have always wanted one, but did not want to pay the same cost or more than what a brand new one cost.... oh I can get a brand new 2014 SS for you . Long long story but I was able to get a brand new SS Daytona with a white face). So I purchased it.

so.... my question is .. if I just wanted to have 1 Rolex, could you use a DDII in white gold as a daily watch OR should I just keep the Daytona and get a DDII in white gold for special events.

(do you think you could wear the DDII white as your daily watch) I have a couple of other watches (not high-end) but can wear if needed

Or get the DDII (white) and keep them both ??? Is there that much of a difference between the DDII (white with white face) and a Daytona SS (white face) ???

thoughts please

DD II in wg would be an awesome daily watch!

Non-WIS types would think it is SS and everyone would think it's a great-looking watch...

I'd say absolutely

AK797 · 24 July 2014, 07:26 AM

You certainly can in WG, but if you don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling over gold then why buy one, maybe better to just have the Daytona and DJ instead.

Once you wear it every day, it transforms from a Rolex Day-Date to Your Watch.
My father-in-law wore his yellow DD every day (until someone tried to take it off his wrist in Naples, Italy). The first time I saw it, I was impressed to behold a DD "in the wild." As time went by, it simply became a watch, and didn't stand out as the extraordinary watch it is.
So yes! Make it your only, make it your daily. It can be done!

Of course, why ever not..

'Course, I always have had a daily watch style and a different one for formal occassions..

locutus49 · 24 July 2014, 07:56 AM

Sure, make it yours. Set the trend!

Charles1977 · 24 July 2014, 07:57 AM

Any watch you like can be a daily wear watch.Its up to you and what you like.My buddy is a landscaper and wears a two tone sub some say that's weird but he likes it.

Psmith · 24 July 2014, 07:58 AM

Well it displays the day of the week, so perhaps that is a sign...?

Mr DateJust · 24 July 2014, 08:13 AM

Absolutely!! My grail is the 118206, if I was in a position to afford one I would wear it every day all day.

Rolexpharm · 24 July 2014, 08:13 AM

All of them are great watches to have for daily use

elcompa · 24 July 2014, 08:34 AM

Will be great as a daily. One of my favourite references.

I wear mine as a daily watch and it does the job amazingly, it is very under the radar even with my diamond dial.

luvsub · 24 July 2014, 08:43 AM

Yes, even though I like YG dd better.

Ravager135 · 24 July 2014, 08:45 AM

Really almost any Rolex can be a daily watch. They are tanks, nothing delicate about it.

tkerrmd · 24 July 2014, 08:47 AM

The DD in WG IS a daily watch! As is the platinum version and every other watch they make

Agree 100%

BlackBay1 · 24 July 2014, 09:22 AM

Yes, no reason why not.

T. Ferguson · 24 July 2014, 09:42 AM

If any DD can take on daily duty (and they all can) then most certainly the WG model can.

Unless spotted by a WIS, 99% will not have any clue that it isn't steel.

THC · 24 July 2014, 09:48 AM

Why even ask such a question... Go forth and wear

14060m · 24 July 2014, 09:49 AM

Yes sir

landroverking · 24 July 2014, 09:50 AM

I don't see why not.

WHEELS1 · 24 July 2014, 09:56 AM

I wear my wg daytona (Grail) on special occasions only because the gold is fairly soft and marks up easy. Stainless blnr and explorer II as a daily driver

Racerdj · 24 July 2014, 10:00 AM

I've yet been asked about my WG SubC and love it! Absolutely as a daily wear piece.
