Finally an INCOMING



After a few months of soul searching, asking advice from a number of veteran TRFers (you guys know who you are and I can’t thank you enough for all your advice) mind changing, searching on line, looking in person, trying on than re-trying on, I finally made a decision. It arrived the other day and I love it!

Why a DD II vs a DD 40, you’re asking yourself? Here’s why: I started pursuing a 40. I have probably tried 20 or more of them on. They’re gorgeous, but they just didn’t seem to fit my 7.5' wrist right. I considered Everose and white gold, but I just couldn’t find the right watch/dial combination that sang to me .

I liked the wrist feel, size, sportier appearance and dial combinations of the DD II, but I was afraid it would depreciate fast since it has been “replaced”. I even started a thread a couple months ago asking TRFers opinions on that subject. Historically, I’m a flipper, so that’s a consideration.

The more I looked, the more I liked the II’s and realized that they were becoming much harder to find, AD’s had one here and there, or were out completely, and trusted sellers had a piece or two, but not many. I spoke, in detail, with a couple trusted sellers whose opinions I respect and found that both felt the II’s were going to hold steady, so that’s when I decided to go for it.

I respect the improvements of the DD 40 and may get one someday, but for now, this was the right choice for me.

Now, what’s next?
