Once again I'm considering another purchase. Attached is the new DD40 WG Blue Dial that I'm contemplating and since I only want one Rolex, I would sell my recently purchased Daytona and add cash. What do you think ? I'm not looking at saving and adding the DD later. It's now or never. Therefore ...

Would you keep the Daytona and pass or do the trade ? I think the DD40 is quite an amazing piece and the Romans take it up a notch. Thanks as always for the candidness !!

Go for it. That is one beautiful watch and white gold is fantastic.

zama · 13 October 2015, 06:57 AM

Common sense would ask what else you have in your collection if you only want one Rolex. This will wear quite dressy, so if the rest of your watches are Patek for example then the Daytona gives more variety. Overall I think this is a good trade, but they are very different watches.

cmcm3 · 13 October 2015, 07:02 AM

Do it. It's an amazing watch.

watchwatcher · 13 October 2015, 07:03 AM

All depends on what you like better and what you need it for.

The two watches are at such different ends of the spectrum it would be almost impossible for me to speculate. Several pros and cons of each...so get what it is that stirs your passion.

Seaswirl · 13 October 2015, 08:24 AM

I love my Daytona, but yeah, I would do this trade. That DD is a beauty.

AK797 · 13 October 2015, 08:29 AM

Have to be a big fat yes from me!

Tvall13 · 13 October 2015, 08:33 AM

I love that watch. Daytona is great too but I couldn't pass on that white gold DD!

SLS · 13 October 2015, 08:33 AM

Go with your gut....there is no logic in this hobby! I will say though, you hang around these forums long enough, you will end up with more than one Rolex!

charger · 13 October 2015, 08:37 AM

I just got a yellow gold one and couldn't be happier, go for it!

HL65 · 13 October 2015, 08:41 AM

Yes! I also have YG and love it....Look for the incoming thread next.

tkerrmd · 13 October 2015, 11:20 AM

Between those two, as much as I love the Daytona, would go with the DD

red1108nyc · 13 October 2015, 11:29 AM

I love Daytona but DD40s.. is just rocking!!

evlkoala · 13 October 2015, 11:33 AM

Not for others but a big yes for DD40 WG !! Look at that dial

CRM114 · 13 October 2015, 11:43 AM

Go for the DD. Flip away!

seand442 · 13 October 2015, 11:45 AM

I'm not a Daytona guy so I say go for it. That DD is hot.

Skyrider01 · 13 October 2015, 12:05 PM

Go for it!

Verdi · 13 October 2015, 01:55 PM

Don't waste time! Do it!

520Matt · 13 October 2015, 02:03 PM

Yes.

Eric Chan · 13 October 2015, 02:42 PM

A resounding yes for me. Love your attitude, now or never. Go for it. The blue Roman dial is the best combination for the white gold DD 40 in my opinion.

Lordofrolex · 13 October 2015, 02:50 PM

Do it. DD40 is my favorite Rolex right now

AzHadEnuf · 13 October 2015, 03:55 PM

I've been struggling with the same question ever since trying one on a few weeks ago. I'd miss the Daytona but that's one watch that could make everything alright. You go first and let me know how you make out. My gut feeling is that everything will be OK.

Flex368 · 13 October 2015, 04:01 PM

Goodbye Daytona.

crowncollection · 13 October 2015, 06:47 PM

Yep dd40 is stunning

superdog · 13 October 2015, 08:40 PM

I would.

But if want the stick dial for the lume effect.

Racerdj · 13 October 2015, 08:45 PM

I have not seen the blue dial but the pictures look very stunning! Go for it if the Daytona is not being worn.

Koala · 13 October 2015, 08:45 PM

DD40 is so beautiful! I'd do it in a second!

1William · 13 October 2015, 08:54 PM

Go for it. Beautiful watch. I don't think you will look back.

HorologyK · 13 October 2015, 09:36 PM

You guys are such enablers. Not a single no. Lol.

Just because you said that, I'll say no. It's a beautiful watch. I've seen it in person. But, I struggle with The new Romans. I want to like them, but I can't.

Otherwise, I'd say yes too.
