Thinking about adding another watch and like the idea of a yellow gold Day Date. Anything I should consider? Which face is the best? New or used?

daunwaun · 2 January 2016, 05:53 AM

So many different options, different sizes, metal choices, dials, bezels etc.

1. Whats your budget?

2. What size are you considering? 36, 40 or 41 mm?

I just picked up a 40mm YG with silver motif dial. Will post pics in a bit.

UNLVino · 2 January 2016, 06:08 AM

Just got this - created a thread as I have a couple questions - I am a Noob so I await moderator approval - wondering if face is original and whether I should replace hands. I know the provenance just unsure if face was replaced.

I found that pic on the net, but it was Sam's pic posted here that really caught my attention to this model.

Also love the diagonal.

Great pics, gents!

I think it is most likely my next watch. I'll see if I can hold out for Basel tho.

I am with you. Waiting to see if any new dial comes out at Basel 2016.

Thanks buddy. Can't wait to see which DD 40 you decide upon. Looks like it is going to be another big year for you in 2016. So happy for you my friend.

BNA/LION · 2 January 2016, 06:08 AM

I went with a 36mm with Champaign diamond dial and Love It! My wrist is on the smaller size so it works for me.

Try them on and feel the difference and you will get a better idea for the size.

As for the dial there are a lot of choices and you just have to get the one you are going to enjoy looking at all the time.

watchwatcher · 2 January 2016, 06:10 AM

There is no best...it's just what you like the most. To me, they all project a certain style of their own. Again, just my opinion, the white has a nice, crisp, classic look. The black has a kind of bad ass look. Champagne, a very classy eye-catcher, but you lose some legibility. The silver...now that one is my favorite. Of course, I have a well-documented thing for sunburst dials.

So, get what you like. You really can't go wrong.

CG123 · 2 January 2016, 06:10 AM

My personal preference is for the classic 36mm size as I have about 6.5" wrists but I've tried on the new, larger size and they look fine too.

I have very limited taste in the DD dials - I like the silver stick. However, the silver Roman AK has just posted is another very nice look. What I do not like are the colored dials (blue, black, brown) or champagne dials on this model. The silver dial (or white if you want paint) helps the gold pop IMO.

timepieceluvr · 2 January 2016, 06:16 AM

Really like that look AK797! Absolutely gorgeous. In answer to the others budget isn't really an issue though I would always save if it makes sense. I think I like the idea of a 40MM

topcat30093 · 2 January 2016, 06:20 AM

I have always chosen the classic 36mm such as the one below which was my last DD.

But now I would seriously look at the same dial but in the new 40mm range

36,40 or 41? MM

40 if you can swing it... 36 is always a success though
