Just wanted to get some thoughts -- which yellow gold DD 40 dial combo do you think is the most versatile?

marc12 · 24 July 2018, 01:42 AM

Olive

Either of the silver's. I voted Silver no motif but either one looks great and is most versatile. White is to sedate, I sometimes feel white dial on YG DD is a wasted opportunity.

shirtguy · 24 July 2018, 02:05 AM

WHITE on yg is so sharp and crisp and its easy on the eyes

I find the silver is a bit dull and wont be easy on the eyes as you age

black motif is great. perfect dress/sport mix.

Trailboss516 · 24 July 2018, 02:22 AM

Silver, non-motif, deconstructed romans

soran · 24 July 2018, 02:22 AM

Black waffles

rolexgiants · 24 July 2018, 02:23 AM

I think the silver motif is the most versatile... just not sure the dial is so readable. Lol.

rmlovett1 · 24 July 2018, 02:25 AM

In the YG model...I personally chose the silver motif. I feel it most versatile because the motif dial is very playful (so to speak), the stick markers are a little less dressy than the romans, and silver goes with any color attire...IMO

That is one stunning watch! Thanks for the pics!!

The numerals on the DD40 are my favorite from Rolex. I think it looks great on a silver or white dial if you're doing YG.

RG with Olive dial and numerals is a jaw-dropper as well.

Champagne, gold on gold.

Boomguy57 · 24 July 2018, 03:12 AM

There is def an emerald green version. That’s my vote for sure. So gorgeous.

YG white dial for me. Very clean looking and will never age.

ap1 · 24 July 2018, 07:31 AM

While I generally prefer Romans - I like the stix for the ygs. I don’t like any of the dials with the Romans

function12 · 24 July 2018, 07:55 AM

White or Silver would be my choice.

Rockslide · 24 July 2018, 08:48 AM

I went with the black dial! I think its versatile and the motif dial comes to play in different lighting situations.

crew · 24 July 2018, 09:04 AM

Ok, I’ve studied this for a few minutes.
Everytime I think I have made up my mind...I change it as soon as I scroll down!
No wrong answers here. They’re all beautiful.

huncho · 24 July 2018, 09:33 AM

i would think the black dial is the most versatile but with how much the romans on the dd40 pop i wouldn't go with sticks

While I do love the Romans, I wonder if I would miss lume.

Justindo · 24 July 2018, 09:37 AM

I like the white dial with the Roman numerals best. It's classic, versatile, beautiful, crisp, and legible.

Time4aRolex · 24 July 2018, 09:46 AM

After owning a white DJ as my first Rolex, after 18 years, I decided that I wanted a black dial DJ.

Made the switch 6 years ago and I am very happy with the change.

Me - loving Black. Also picked up a Sub for the same reason.

DLRIDES · 24 July 2018, 10:29 AM

Black or silver waffle stick dials.

Romans numerals are so “rest home” looking.

peterpl · 24 July 2018, 12:01 PM

in all honestly there is no "wrong" choice with any day date dial. They all are beautiful in their own way.
