DD40
you can tell people it is called the day date 40 because you had it made especially to commemorate your 40th birthday

DJ II TT - the rest of the money you would have spent on a DD spend on a nice big holiday!

I'm hitting 40 next year as well and the DD40 is on my list of possibles, check out the platinum ones!
I'm also considering a Breguet Marine 5817 (maybe this year) and the top of my list is an FP Journe Octa Lune in Pt (also 40mm). |
