Stainless steel Day/Date.Would is your opinion ?

RHJ · 4 July 2019, 03:56 AM

Nope, should remain PM - that said by someone who won't ever have a budget for this!

Verdi · 4 July 2019, 03:57 AM

I wish they wont ever make DD in ss.

I wish they would make a 38mm DJ with classic brushed oyster bracelet, no PCL.

FlyDuc78 · 4 July 2019, 03:58 AM

I would love that but it'll NEVER happen but it's a good wish

mulgogy · 4 July 2019, 04:01 AM

wg blue daytona, black ceramic bezel on oysterflex....

Roll the Lex · 4 July 2019, 04:30 AM

How much would an ss dd go for? Let’s say around $13k- ss sky-dweller is around $14k and ss Daytona is around $12k.

Now how easy do you think it will be to get at that price? How many will be swallowed up by the grey dealers and sold for close to 2x retail? So we’re talking $26k for a ss daydate?

No thanks. I’ll pay a bit more for a full gold daydate.

Totally against a SS DD. The DD has always been and should always be PM and something to aspire to. If you want a SS DD get a Tudor....IMHO

Tangier11 · 4 July 2019, 04:33 AM

Oh, to answer your question a non maxi case GMT like in the days of old

Gwai · 4 July 2019, 04:34 AM

Car. I wish they made a car. Would probably be terrific.

skyseadweller · 4 July 2019, 04:34 AM

a platinum sea-dweller since they opened up the pm door with the TT

They have

Many years ago (I don’t think it’s current practice) they made prototypes of the DD in stainless steel
Apparently ONLY Rolex watchmakers working on the DD ever wore them

I know of 2 of them that have escaped from Rolex’s grasp and they are both out in the real world.

That’s what makes this forum such fun !

No. I believe DD should stay PM only

zjd168 · 4 July 2019, 04:46 AM

has been discussed many times here, and my answer is still no. There is no reason or motivation for Rolex to do it. Just wishful thinking

Dr. Robert · 4 July 2019, 04:48 AM

Tudor made day dates in SS, 36mm.....but that was a while back, you see them come up for sale occasionally.

TswaneNguni · 4 July 2019, 04:48 AM

Its a PM reference .Period

Might as well buy WG and pretend it is stainless steel once you consider how hot a SS DD would be, the ridiculous waiting lists, and the price it would pull on the secondary market.

Heck let's make it a split seconds chrono if we're going that direction!

SearChart · 4 July 2019, 05:38 AM

34mm platinum OP with president bracelet, brushed lugs and ice blue dial. That is my biggest wish.

jrs146 · 4 July 2019, 05:41 AM

No interest in a stainless DD. It kind of defeats the entire purpose.
