I was lucky to acquire almost every hard to get ss model. I’ve been mesmerized by the platinum Daytona and has been my grail until I recently tried on the platinum DD40 and was equally mesmerized!!

1- which one is more popular?
2- not that I ever buy my watches as investment but which one holds value more?

Any help making the decision is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

When I think of a platinum Rolex, it’s the DD40 that comes up first.

SearChart · 2 January 2019, 12:16 AM

Platona.

makak · 2 January 2019, 12:16 AM

Having just seen an interview with Roger Federer at the Hopman Cup, he rolled his sleeve up and showed off the Platona. That thing popped like I couldn't believe. WOW

My grail, the platinum Day date.

Had each. If I were to do it again I’d go dd40 romans. I’m very pleased with 519 for the pm Daytona

Jason71 · 2 January 2019, 12:20 AM

Platinum Daytona first. On down the line add the Platinum DD as well. That’s my plan at least.

rolexguynfl · 2 January 2019, 12:42 AM

Platinum Datona gets my vote! Had the opportunity to try one on at an AD and it's quite beautiful in person.

I'm with Jason71 - Daytona first!

The one I tried on at an AD early 2018 was stunning! But I'm not much for DD models so I may be biased.

Had both in hand ...underwhelmed by the plat DD40,smooth bezel perhaps the biggest factor.
Daytona Nespresso ...AWESOME !! the combination of brown and blue ,just perfect.

LuminousMaximus · 2 January 2019, 12:25 AM

I voted DD40 Smooth Bezel.

Bracelet is special, and it's a classic design

Personal taste is always interesting. The smooth bezel on the DD is literally the only reason I’d consider it. If it was offered on my 228235 I wouldn’t have hesitated.

The Daytona is the only platinum watch I could see myself getting.

scarlet knight · 2 January 2019, 12:25 AM

I voted DD. I have 5 Rolexes and many other watches. There are some great and expensive watches that are getting no wrist time. My latest move is to consolidate. Trade 2 or 3 for 1.

Are your watches getting wristtime?

Yes but with varying percentages!
The Pepsi and deep blue get 80% of my wrist time. The rest compete for the other 20

Day Date. Not a fan of the brown bezel on the Daytona

Platinum DayDate 40. You already have 2 x Daytona's. Go for the classic DD40.

brandrea · 2 January 2019, 12:44 AM

IMO the DD with deconstructed romans is the nicest platinum watch in the line up.

I think with your collection that would be the way I’d go.

Perhaps it looks better in person, but I've never cared for the bezel/dial color combo of the Platona

Exactly why I haven't bought one. If I find a ceramic black bezel, I'd have it fitted on a Platona.

nicky77 · 2 January 2019, 12:45 AM

I like the Day Date more.

Gerardus · 2 January 2019, 12:47 AM

DD all the way.

s2h904 · 2 January 2019, 12:48 AM

DD in my opinion-that's my goal/grail for 2019

Watchfiend12 · 2 January 2019, 12:50 AM

Day Date is amazing. Both are but... DD

LondonLukeM · 2 January 2019, 12:53 AM
