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!

dimag333 · 7 October 2019, 05:51 AM

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

36 or 40?

Lucifer · 7 October 2019, 06:28 AM

YG with champagne dial will make my day

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

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.

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 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!

sensui · 7 October 2019, 10:14 AM

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

i have 6" wrists so the 40 looks bad considering the dd is a classic watch. i went with the 36 and have no regrets

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.

what is your budget? if you don't mind me asking

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.

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.

fskywalker · 7 October 2019, 10:45 AM

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:

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

PT out of my league but WG is an option if I really wanted to pull the trigger. However it would have to look stunning and different than my DJ right now. I'd would lean towards Roman numerals at the moment since my DJ is stick baton.
