RG DD40 Olive or Bluesy 116613LB
So fun question, but which of the two would you rather wear? On one hand I feel like the Bluesy sunburst is iconic Rolex and has a lot of pop. The RG DD40 with the olive dial feels very special, and something about all gold, but is it as attractive?
Thoughts? |

Second if it was the PM Bluesy it’d more of an even match... In any case for me I’d always take a sub over a DD. Sub Bluesy Rules at least for me ...  What RG DD Olive ???

So while this sounds odd, I have seen others agree, but I personally find the TT pops more with the contrast between the gold PCL and the SS. Budget not an issue, I had tried them on side by side and thought the Bluesy looked better and went that route. While I think people in general think President is top, because, well, it’s the President, I’m curious price aside, forget about general consensus which is a better watch, what would YOU (TRF) want on your wrist. Which looks nicer, which sings to you more. |

I have both and a solid Sub. Very different comparison. As stated before the solid gold Sub would be a much better comparison as the price of the DD40 RG is almost 3 times the price. I do love the look of a Sub for daily wear.

Difference price points.
You can buy almost 3 Bluesy's for the price of one DD40. |

To me...it's not close. The Day Date with the olive dial is a killer watch, I love mine to death.

For a fair comparison it would be the 116618LB and THAT would be a lot harder. Both stunning pieces.

Of the two and money was not an object I would always go with a DD in any metal or dial configuration. If the other watch was a YG Submariner with the Sunburst dial then it would be a more difficult choice.

-If you’re buying.....I’d ask first...what else do you have?
-If you’re comparing for “which one has the most POP/PRESENCE”.... then I’d say bluesy, as the RG is a toned down gold metal. -Compare the YG sub or DD to the bluesy, and all YG wins out...IMO -If you’re strictly looking for MOST pop or presence, I’d say compare YG VS YG. My .02
