DD of course! Love them both; can imagine owning a bluesy some day but that DD is something else!

The DD wins the aesthetics competition for me.

As much as I like Subs, for me the DD offers a more classic streamlined look and I prefer all gold over two tone.

Sub for me. Not much for yellow gold watches, but I could live with the TT Sub especially if it has the sunburst dial.

DD for sure but they are two completely different watches. But based off looks alone I would take the DD all day long.

I never liked the fluted bezels on the date just and day dates.....so I'd definitely say the sub. The contrast in your case also makes it a more interesting piece IMO.

Love them both. It would depend on your lifestyle. If you wear a suit to work every day or frequently then the DD would be perfect. If you tend to be more casual, the Bluesy is great for a variety of attire and activities. I am a little biased though, the bluesy was my first Rolex back in the 80's and I still have one. When I wore suits more often, I had a vintage DD and loved it.

Depends on what you are wearing, a suit and tie the DD. Then if jeans and polo shirt the other would look better
