Even though not my ideal dial color for DD, this one is iconic and looks beautiful

Granddaddy of them all

If you can’t pull it off, a thief certainly could. See what I did there?

Congrats!!

Wearing a DD is a state of mind.

You appear to be handling it quite nicely.

The longer you own it and wear it regularly, the less you’ll even think about it.

But if you’re having a bad day, it can be nice to look down at your wrist and smile.

I’m humbled to wear mine realizing how blessed I am and remembering my duties in this life to help others.

To whom much is given, much is expected. Time here on earth is short. Enjoy it and do good.

Loved your post and how the watch fit until I learned you’re a NYG fan! Jk

Going to be a good game - looking good dressing down that DD

Day 4 with a flannel and final bump of this thread. Giants took a licking yesterday but the DD40 heals all wounds. Appreciate all the positive feedback everyone!

Congratulations, you wear it well.

But surely, the grandaddy of them all would be a Platinum DD?

Well I think last month you were too young to pull it off, and now perfection! Right watch, right time.
