you could always get a rose gold presidential =D

If DD II with roman concentric dial is your all time grail then go for it instead of getting 2 other WG pieces. In your sub conscious mind you will not be satisfied until you get your all time grail no matter how beautiful the other 2 pieces are.

In addition Tom Bolt aka Watch Guru once said it was better to get one expensive piece rather than having 2-3 less expensive pieces.

I had a chance to tried on that platinum. Its amazing. Feels heavy and nice. So go Platinum!

Im beginning to think the bracelet wont happen but unlike you one day I can solve this with a choc RG DD2.

Sohail, I like gold most in YG and RG and so as you have gold covered you should get the platinum, no point settling for 2 sub-grails just get the holiest of holies.

SWISSAHOLICS · 28 June 2013, 03:51 AM

Two WG over one PLAT for sure!!

Because the gold Day-Date II is 18k = 75% gold 25% alloys,
Platinum Day-Date II is 95% platinum and 5% alloys,
And platinum is harder to work with than gold.

Easy Sohail Buy 2 WGs How about a 116619 and a 218239

Problem solved

vs.

116619 Wg Smurft & 116509 Wg Daytona Panda.

Buy one or buy 2 Wg Rolex watches. I like all three and will be keeping them long term. Value and pricing aside what would you do in this situation keeping in mind which one will me more timless.

Since I prefer the sport line anyway would go with the sub and daytona

NGB185 · 28 June 2013, 04:24 AM

How about the smurf and a WG panda on the strap? That will leave some extra cash to put towards the platty fund or even pick up a SS with the change.

kilyung · 28 June 2013, 04:27 AM

How about selling your RG DD and getting the 116619 AND 218206?

wantonebad · 28 June 2013, 04:30 AM

I'm not a fan of white gold myself, I prefer YG or platinum JMHO

Medoo · 28 June 2013, 04:39 AM

Platinum for sure

A.Sharp · 28 June 2013, 05:09 AM

Me platinum

Jsan20 · 28 June 2013, 05:28 AM

To me that's and easy choice the day-date 2 is amazing and truly unique. I tried it on at the Wynn a few days ago and it's wonderful in person. I am actually considering buying one in the future. The new Daytona would be my second choice.

Daytona-Dan · 28 June 2013, 05:28 AM

If it was me, I would go for the two WG but I don't have the collection you do

I have a YG Daytona and am looking into a WG Meteorite some day...

nameIess · 28 June 2013, 05:44 AM

You're comparing Mercedes Benz S class with Cadillac Escalade pickup truck version and Porsche 911 turbo! You think this is a sane comparison?!

Anyway, I'd say go with the DDII.

I had to trade two watches myself but I LOVE my Day-Date in PT. Believe me NOTHING feels better IMHO. Good Luck -Ron

sweeper · 28 June 2013, 07:01 AM

Platy for sure..

mjclark32 · 28 June 2013, 08:55 AM

I'd probably go with the WG

Devine watch · 28 June 2013, 11:05 AM

One more vote for platinum!

doubleinfive · 28 June 2013, 01:36 PM

I would rather have two $50 bills than one $100 bill...I would go with two WGs...

TSts · 28 June 2013, 02:20 PM

Platty!
