What does everyone think of the YG DD40 with a black dial and Diamond baguette indices?

Saw one in exhibition and torn between which I like more between it and a “standard” YG DD 40 with black dial and baton indices

huncho · 9 July 2023, 09:48 AM

the black dial with baguettes is my favorite yg config along with the green dial. i would pick that over sticks every time

Sticks come on a Timex, I chose baguettes!!

codecow · 9 July 2023, 10:13 AM

I prefer the onyx dial like mine.

WatchTimes · 9 July 2023, 10:23 AM

I bought the YG with white romans.
If I was buying diamond on YG it would be the Onyx not the standard black
If RG it would be the Eisenkiesel
WG it would be Meteorite
Plat Ice Blue Diamond (this is my favorite and on my list with my AD)
Diamonds on the 36 just look like chips now due to the diamonds on the 40
BUT
Buy whichever you like most, you can't go wrong its a DD!

Rolex does baguettes very well.

Yes, get the diamonds

BNA/LION · 9 July 2023, 11:03 AM

Love the Baguettes on my DD. Definitely go for it!

I love the baguettes on the DD40. Im not a huge fan of lumed indices on a DD but I do prefer sticks over romans. The baguettes are the best of both worlds and make the watch even more special. The black baguette dial is my favourite YG DD40. The champagne dial is actually stunning with baguettes but it’s a lot of bling.

They are very nice. I have several diamond dial Swiss watches, but not a Rolex. I am considering getting a 36 mm Black diamond dial DJ. In fact, I’m on the proverbial list, for it.

Thank you, Kat!!

HogwldFLTR · 9 July 2023, 11:47 AM

I like them for certain! I've got the deconstructed Romans, fwiw.

ingoodtime · 9 July 2023, 01:44 PM

I like the baguetts alot on the day date. I dont have a dd but I do have a 41mm DJII with silver dial and square set diamonds and love it.

Socal Runner · 9 July 2023, 02:01 PM

The baguettes look wonderfu! I did just sell my RG day date with baguettes to fund another piece, and I will say they did nothing really from a value perspective though. That shouldn’t matter but wanted to at least point it out if considering a value proposition — the difference is very little if at all.

That being said I agree with most on this thread that Rolex does baguettes extremely well.

ebis · 9 July 2023, 03:44 PM

Baguettes are amazing.

Assuming you mean the % difference between purchase and sale was the same? Or at least thats what I can see from C24

point29 · 9 July 2023, 04:13 PM

I do have to say the baguettes looked so good! Shame its not possible to try them on in the Sunlight as I am sure it would have popped even more! Are they harder to find/presumed longer wait than the indices versions?

I think he means that if you resell it, the diamond markers don’t add much to the value of the watch.

Baguette dials look amazing. Love the black YG but if money not an issue the platinum ice blue with baguette all day long!

WILLIWALKER · 9 July 2023, 08:04 PM

I m fortunate to have a silver roman dial and i love ti ! But the baguette is

PenDelicate · 9 July 2023, 09:10 PM

Beautiful watch in any configuration.

Prefer plain stick indices myself.

On the black dial I like baguettes over sticks.

Yeah the inclusions vary a lot but they’re all on that same area, my dial it’s really tight, but some of them are much wider.
