I currently have a smurf but love the new day date 40 in WG. Which would you prefer ? Also think of trading my ROO 26470st black/red and my TT GMTII ceramic with some cash towards the DD40. Any thoughts if this would be a good trade decision ? Or should I just trade the smurf and some cash ?

japenney · 2 January 2017, 10:03 PM

I think the smurf and dd40 make a great pair if that's what you like. Not a fan of ap or two-tone so easy decision

brandrea · 2 January 2017, 10:29 PM

I'd trade the AP and GMT plus cash toward the DD40. Then you have a great pair with lots of versatility.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Yes...x2

If Green WG DD40 then 100% yes and my favorite Rolex overall!

I am undecided with dial, either blue or white with romans. Not sure if I should have both the smurf and DD40 with both the same color dials or go for the white to bring some versatility.

travisb · 2 January 2017, 11:14 PM

Keep the Sub. Flip the other 2 plus cash.
Which DD40 are you looking at? I agree with Ken that the green dial is amazing..

The DD40 blue is amazing. Although all the blue dials Rolex makes are nice that one really stands out. Not an AP fan so I personally would keep the Sub and trade off the rest. DD40 and any sub would make a perfect combination.

1st amg · 2 January 2017, 11:22 PM

Number 2 and white romans for the win

1William · 2 January 2017, 11:36 PM

I would keep the Smurf and add the DD 40. Trade the other watches and enjoy a great two watch collection.

Yes, yes, yes. Keep the Smurf. Is platinum a possibility? It's worth considering if you can swing it.

1bad750 · 3 January 2017, 12:05 AM

Since when does the dd 40 come w white romans?

I meant silver dial.

ap1 · 3 January 2017, 12:41 AM

I like smurf and DD 40 combo. May be an issue with both blue dials though. Rhodium?

r8t3d_M · 3 January 2017, 12:43 AM

I'd keep the smurf and trade the ROO and GMT to get the DD40. They would make an amazing pair...

Alex Ks · 3 January 2017, 12:46 AM

keep the smurf and trade in the other two.
smurf is def a timeless grail.

Danny83 · 3 January 2017, 12:49 AM

Keep the Sub trade the AP and GMT. Get the WG 40 with a green or black dial.

watchwatcher · 3 January 2017, 01:52 AM

I'm going to agree with all those who support keeping the smurf and trading the others toward the DD. What a resulting pair that would be!

I probably wouldn't do the blue dial since the smurf has that covered...Ken's suggestion of the green would definitely be toward the top of the list for me. But hey, picking out what you want is half the fun.

LuminousMaximus · 3 January 2017, 01:55 AM

the DD40 is a special watch and should only be considered with much thought

Hodog16 · 3 January 2017, 02:40 AM

Keep the 116619 and add the DD40, no question.

I gotta post this picture any time I can

While I think the WG/blue dial is amazing, with the 116619 I'd look at either the green Romans or the rhodium stripe.

Let us know what you decide!

nyc2la · 3 January 2017, 02:46 AM

Trade the AP and two tone towards the DD40. I would swing for the fences and go platinum, though.

Not mine yet, but I have my eyes on one of these.

P.S. Probably the one on the right ...

One pic to help enable. For me this way nicer than either platinum above!

I'd look at it over the blue but like blue better than silver dial.

GB-man · 3 January 2017, 02:56 AM

Option 2!

Ken please stop posting pictures of this one! The warmth of the WG plays perfectly with the green.

For me Tom it is the very best combo and love it!

Hodog16 · 3 January 2017, 03:59 AM

I agree that green dial WG DD40 is something else. I love the ice blue platinum romans DD40 but would take the WG instead and leave ~$20,000 in my pocket.

Gotta say this a great shout from Stephen, this ice blue dial is stunning even if the price is quite scary

. As you have the Smurf I'd also go with Ken's green dial on the WG rather than blue, think white is a bit too plain on white metal.
