So I took a trip to a different city today to try on a few different pieces and see the green-dial DD40 in person. An eye-opening trip to say the least.
  • I'm eliminating RG options for the time being and sticking with white/cool metals.
  • Am still considering the WG/green DD40.
  • Fell deeply in love with the Grande Lange 1 in white gold/black.
  • Also really loved two JLC models, the Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds in 40mm with a blue dial and the Master Ultra Thin Moon in WG/grey dial.
  • Am going to fly to Las Vegas to try on the AP 15400 in silver dial and the WG/green DD40 together. I realized I need to see the AP before making this decision.
  • I am adding a DJ41 in SS/WG with blue stick dial to my list of options for a 2nd piece to accompany the AP

So my current options are:
  1. Rolex DD40 in White Gold, Green Dial, Roman Numerals
  2. AP 15400 Silver Dial and JLC Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds Blue Dial
  3. AP 15400 Silver Dial and JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon, WG with Grey Dial
  4. AP 15400 Silver Dial and Rolex DJ41 in SS/WG on Jubilee with blue dial

Thoughts? Feedback? Ideas?

Here are a few of the pieces on me:
