And with this one, I am out.

Some of you may remember the struggle I had when I chose to acquire my platinum DD2. There were two dials that I just could not decide between. I ended up purchasing the ice blue concentric roman dial and I absolutely love it. However, as much as I loved the ice blue dial, I was still haunted by the dial I didn't chose. I am happy to announce that I was able to rectify that situation with this last addition to my family. Thanks for reading.

Was it a dial swap or a new watch altogether?

If you're gonna go out, go out with a bang. That's a sweet watch.

Wait. This is unclear.

New watch is an addition? Or a swap?

Either way, good for you. But it makes a difference to us common folk.

Love ur watch. It's a perfect piece.

Yeah I love this dial along with the Arabic ivory concentric dial. I'd like to see Rolex add something similar to the Day Date 40 line. If not I just might have to source a DDII a few years down the road when I can afford one.
