Incoming DD40 RG

My biggest and heaviest incoming.
Lots of folks here said - there is nothing like a Day Date. Could not be more true.
The heft, the comfort, the feeling of wearing such a watch.

Could not have thought I would be picking this up while on holiday but it happened.
There is still hope and there are stores with full Rolex cases.
I tried quite a few of YG, WG and RG models before I chose this one.

One of the most interesting metal and dial combos Rolex has ever done.

I absolutely love the RG chocolate dial combo on the DD and Daytona and the patek nautilus.

Unbeatable, congratulations.

I like this combo but I do like the sun dust combo better. To me that combo looks a little more silver in certain lighting

I tried the sundust as well and as you say it looks more silver-ish indeed.
I preferred the warmth of the chocolate dial against the RG.

It’s my favorite watch I have ! So I’ve got the yellow gold version of what you have (yellow gold champagne dial and romans)

Like I said it’s my favorite over my stainless sub hulk sub Kermit stainless black Daytona stainless blue sky stainless pepsi etc etc all the usual hype we all see and hear about nonstop .. that’s all great ., but my daydate I still love the most

Woah. That’s a beauty right there and hopefully one I’ll be able to add at some point.

If I do add a DD that one will be the one. 100%.

Major major congrats.

You chose......wisely!

Great watch, the only RG DD40 I have run into lately was one with a sundust dial and I turned that one down.
