One day I would love to own a DD. ? is, what type of dial color would you get? I would also get WG, (Platinum would be out of my range) bracelet YG doesn't suit my style and no diamonds. I would purchase one pre-loved. What would the price range be and where would you look for one? Pics and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Straight up white dial with romans, white gold, fluted, I would look for this used on Trf

Or rose with olive dial and fluted, Romas

Or plat with blue dial and domed, Roman’s

You just described my watch! 😀

OP: My only advice is get a double quick set

huncho · 7 October 2019, 06:08 AM

36 or 40?

YG with champagne dial will make my day

I too prefer grey market or the pre owned one less than 7 years

Charlie3755 · 7 October 2019, 07:27 AM

Have a look at Chrono24 to get an idea on prices for different WG iterations as well as dial options.

My 18239 came with Silver

I sourced and added a Blue Dial

I know you don’t like YG, but neither did I (originally)

Recaro18 · 7 October 2019, 07:38 AM

I love WG DD36... Never thought I’d love the White Roman Dial until I had it on my wrist

The first DD should ALWAYS be a YG piece.

I was thinking the first DD should be your favorite combo. Your second DD should be your second favorite combo, etc.

Why not pull off a 40?
I have a 6.5” wrist and fits great.
To me, wears a bit smaller than my sub or GMTs.
Go for it!

I wish they had that dial in the YG version i would've been all over it

karim786 · 7 October 2019, 09:46 AM

White gold with blue dial is nice. I went for the rose gold with green dial and love it!

Depending on your budget a Pt DD36 might still be in the cards....

I would love to get a Platinum one. Getting a WG DD would be a stretch for me. But that one you picked is gorgeous! I currently have a DJ 36 grey 1991. So I would get like to get a different dial other than grey and a different look. YG is a no for me. Just not me.

Honestly if were to get a DD I probably would spend around 10K pre-owned obviously. Perhaps I would spend a little more for Platinum. PT would be a dream. 36mm only. 40mm to big for me.

ah ok, yeah the 5 digits go for 10-12. i don't think you can get a plat for less than 20k though

I own this reference and it is stunning. Not that many came with the glacier waves Arabic dial which I think is the most gorgeous dial they have ever made. Should be able to get one in the high 20’s.

sensui · 7 October 2019, 10:14 AM

Olive dial or glacier blue variations if you don't mind the fluted bezel factor.

Rolex74 · 7 October 2019, 10:20 AM

Yellow gold DD40 champagne stick dial

timepieceluvr · 7 October 2019, 10:36 AM

Don’t get one until you can afford the one you really want.

I’m a proponent of YG for a Day Date but if you must go WG get the DD40 with the blue dial.

You said wanted white gold, I agree with you is the way to go! (unless you can afford a platinum 18206 / 118206 / 218206)

Many dials to choose from...... have gone through 4 different dials on my 36 mm 18239:

Originally silver:

Then white:

Then glacier blue with diamonds (platinum exclusive dial):

And now blue:
