Why not RG DD with olive dial since you are keen on RG anyways?

JTejeda320 · 19 July 2020, 01:59 PM

DDr0, can't beat the gold bracelet for the same price

Again, plenty of people don’t have these issues but I’m regrouping towards an OF Daytona myself because of all the DD40 issues I couldn’t get over. Best of luck!

Daytona

Prefer a more casual look.

I’ll almost certainly be looking to add a blue or olive wg dd when I’m a bit older as my daly

MichelleP · 20 July 2020, 01:35 AM

DD for sure but what about RG olive dial

accountank2000 · 20 July 2020, 01:41 AM

Daytona (have to say that, as that's what I went for - though WG rather than RG). The bracelet is very comfortable and the weight is enough to feel like it's not a toy without being heavy enough to get annoying. And the lack of a heavy gold bracelet makes it casual luxury rather than opulence.

If I were a couple of decades older then a DD40 is very classic and if you like the olive, you won't find it on a Daytona.

The Breitling is bigger though, while the 40mm for me feels 'just right'.

Also with the Daytona I'm not going to scratch or scuff the bezel so I won't be annoyed with myself for not taking quite enough care of it after five years use.

Love the Daytona but in this case DD for sure

DD40 all the way for me

If you like the daytona i think you will like it more than the dd.

Thank you all for chiming in! I went and tried on both watches today and the choice was very clear. The DD felt and looked much better on the wrist. The Daytona on Oyster Flex was nice too but the presidential bracelet is just something else. Here are some quick pics.

Great choice, looks excellent. I was with someone yesterday who was also wearing that same DD40 WG fluted olive dial and it looked amazing. Enjoy yours!

kbutler1 · 21 July 2020, 03:09 AM

DD40 for me

ap1 · 21 July 2020, 03:14 AM

Have had both, dd in landslide. That OF Combo is unremarkable to my eyes. I pick the wg DD over ANY OF Daytona actually

jb335 · 21 July 2020, 04:41 AM

Wow, big congrats! I am a big fan of that WG DD with olive dial. Just gorgeous! Wear in good health.

I already have a few SS pieces including a 116500 white dial.

Which one would you choose and why? I’m hoping to get some feedback on the wearability/comfort, durability and better value retention wouldn’t hurt. Thanks!

You know, I'm probably the wrong guy to ask. I'm just no good with choices.

EDIT: Just saw you picked up the DD. A most excellent choice...congrats!

The Day Date. Less dials. Less buttons. And no rubber strap.
