Daydate 40 which metal?

[justdate]

If it’s a Day-Date it has to be YG for me, absolutely love it. But everyone has their own tastes, so what do you like...

Amazing piece, justdate! This is an archetype of DD to me.

I used to want the YG. But after a couple of years visiting multiple ADs and trying on different DD40 configurations both YG and RG with different dials, I concluded that I’d go with RG. And I did so with no regrets. YG is the ultimate classic DD. But I think that RG is more verstatile and can be worn to complement my different clothes wear in different settings. I feel like with that amount of investment, I could get more use out of the RG. It is good middle ground between the YG and WG. I’d say keep trying them day-dates on. Take pictures. And you will decide which one is best for you, depending on your skin tone, purpose, work, other watches in your collection etc.

RG > WG > .... YG with the olive green dial! It's stunning and unique!

I just purchased a RG with chocolate Romans (will post pics soon!)...it was a long process for me in choosing between YG and RG, as you can probably see from my old threads.

What it came down to for me was wearability - I'm a jeans and tee kind of guy, and the YG is just so flashy against my tan skin. Plus, that chocolate dial is so different from my Hulk and 16710. Can't believe I even thought otherwise, but RG is definitely the right choice in my case. Also, as someone stated earlier, who cares about what RG means in the long term, as long as you love it now! I don't think tastes will change heavily over the next 10 years, and there are so many brands with RG as a primary these days that I think the staying power is there (AP, Patek, Rolex...)

White gold all the way for me.

Same here, with ice blue cross hatch dial, but since it comes with a smooth bezel, then WG.
Mind you, the RG is ever so tasty too, with chocolate dial....
Hmmm.....I see your dilemma.

To me it is white gold. The warm luster is stunningly different on the flesh compared to cold SS.

It also really depends on skin tone. I was originally looking at the Yellow Gold with Champaign dial and Gold Roman Numerals. When my wife and I went to an AD, my wife said the Rose Gold colour (which I would never had considered) looks beautiful on my wrist. She said she also thought it looks too much (gaudy was her exact word), but she said when she saw it on my wrist, she said it works.

Now I am thinking about the Rose Gold with Green dial.

Its iconic precious metal, it will never go out of fashion. I have a feeling long term Rose Gold will not stand the test of time even though I have numerous full RG pieces.

Jeez. You’re not messing around with that!

Looks great on you.

[Chadridv]

personally I'd go for the WG to Pt.

White gold , olive green dial. For me YG & RG just look too ostentatious. You can wear a WG or PLT Day ryDate with a suit or a polo shirt and jeans. It’s a very versatile watch

[dubins930]

You can go wrong with any of the... I like the Olive/RG combo

[Dompropat]

Rose gold imo

Thanks R G!

Yellow Bark (while not a DD40) I still think YG is the quintessential DD.

The Bark is a very cool watch, something different. I think it’s going to only get more collectible too!

Thank you!

I hope you can try this combination on before making a final decision if you haven’t already, just to be sure.

I'm a white gold or platinum guy for PM...if I felt I could pull it off, I love how rose gold looks for a DD, with the green dial

Thanks Warag, that’s a good way of describing it.

It looks perfect on your wrist, justdate.

I´ve tried on several YG DD40s but never got the chance to try the champagne dial. Do you ever get bored of this timeless combination and sometimes wish you picked a different dial version?
