As a former Day-Date II critic, it's time for me to eat crow. It's only a matter of time until I buy one. Thirty nine mm probably would have been better; but no matter; it just feels right. I still love the classic model. Maybe I'll have both??? That would be a bit much, I think; but I am highly infected by this watch disease, so who knows?

These photos are from my watch tour yesterday with Michael in Tokyo.... where it was over 35 degrees C. with extreme humidity!

I can sense that you as good as own it already

Its a stunning watch , nice pics btw

Young Connoisseur · 25 July 2010, 12:29 PM

Have you seen the white gold with the ivory dial and roman numerals?

Try that on, then you'll have to have it!

scl6118 · 25 July 2010, 12:30 PM

It's awesome!

FremStar · 25 July 2010, 12:32 PM

Wow! That is one serious and room commanding piece.

R1@160@alltimes · 25 July 2010, 01:24 PM

x2 I can already see that DD II on your wrist.

jrpb · 25 July 2010, 05:16 PM

i want one

mhmfao · 25 July 2010, 07:24 PM

It's only a matter of time Otto!

Speed · 25 July 2010, 07:47 PM

Hey Otto, "Stekii desu ne?"

I would prefer the standard DD...but looks like you can pull off the DDII quite nicely. Take your pick I say!

ArtVandelay · 25 July 2010, 08:10 PM

Go for it. Looks great on you.

Gerardus · 25 July 2010, 08:31 PM

39 would be better indeed, but it is what it is.So we buy 41

Rolesor · 25 July 2010, 10:42 PM

That's a gorgeous watch Otto - looks sweet on you too!

gecko · 26 July 2010, 12:12 AM

I agree - my DDII is on order now.

HL65 · 26 July 2010, 12:53 AM

Very nice Otto! Hope you get it!

RRGHOST1 · 26 July 2010, 02:21 AM

41mm is a great size for me,my father in law has just got a DJII TT champagne diamond dial and its great. The DDII is superb too, i love them.

JJ Irani · 26 July 2010, 03:50 AM

I had fallen in love with the DD2 the very first time I set eyes on it and actually tried it on my wrist.

If I could afford one, I'd have the YG version with Romans on the dial.

Go with your heart, Otto!

imono · 26 July 2010, 10:44 AM

And why not

It's not my money!

tomchicago · 26 July 2010, 11:21 AM

Otto is the bezel width (width of the bezel...not its diameter) the same or bit smaller than the DJII? Reason I ask is that I tried DJ II & thought the fluted bezel simply too large. Is the DDII available in plain bezel yet in the non-Platinum version? Is Rolex planning to make the plain bezel available in wg & yg versions?

Me too JJ! That would be my grail among the Rolex models!

pradeep · 26 July 2010, 04:01 PM

DDII with a ivory pyramid dial with romans would be my favourite! A platinum one. A platinum and gold 2 tone one if it exists!! bliss.
