Never seems to be much speak of the Day/Date on here, what are the thoughts on this besides "don't pay retail". Is this still a grail watch for many? Show your wrist shots!!!!

rmlovett1 · 23 April 2019, 01:31 AM

-One of my favorite pieces for certain

-I wouldn’t pay retail while you can still get a new one from trusted sellers here, still at a discount (although that’s inching closer because of the Rolex craziness)

-Grail for many I’m sure

=An all around versatile piece in any metal..IMO

That's beautiful. It's the last word in Rolex watches.

I would love one of the new President 40s but my 36mm will have to make do in the meantime

BisonHead · 23 April 2019, 01:50 AM

Grail for me most defiantly, YG 36 vintage

JayHantz · 23 April 2019, 01:55 AM

I always enjoyed the Day Date and I would love to own one.

Richard, amazing pic!

Never fully appreciated the DD until I bought one. So beautiful and versatile.

bobernet · 23 April 2019, 01:59 AM

If you use the search function you’ll find lots and lots and lots of discussion about various models of DD. The vast majority are fans of the watch.

Jshwarms · 23 April 2019, 03:08 AM

The DD is the most perfect watch on the market and has been for decades

subprimero · 23 April 2019, 03:48 AM

It was a grail for me and my first Rolex purchase.

Phrank · 23 April 2019, 03:55 AM

An excuse to post a pic of my DD!!!!

Lots of threads on the forum regarding the DD.

Yehaa!!

Tavi · 23 April 2019, 04:14 AM

I’m definitely beginning to feel the force of the President and am strongly considering one. Started thinking about the white gold version but now I think full-on YG or RG - go big or go home kinda thing.

Been through a lot of watches: Sub-C, Deepsea, GMT LN, Datejust 41...currently have the BLNR and BLRO but will likely end my Rolex journey with the BLRO and a Day-Date. A big, in your face, yellow gold, gaudy and beautiful Rolex!

Still working through the mental process, research, etc.

Not a grail, but that bracelet is exceptional.

Gunnersaurus · 23 April 2019, 04:23 AM

Would love one, but a bit out of my price range unfortunately. Maybe one day

enjoythemusic · 23 April 2019, 05:46 AM

Would not call it a grail timepiece, yet glad to have one.

Grail, for me, is something far more intricate.

Definition of over-engineering. Utterly pointless.
