Which platinum watch?

[DoctorA]

I was lucky to acquire almost every hard to get ss model. I’ve been mesmerized by the platinum Daytona and has been my grail until I recently tried on the platinum DD40 and was equally mesmerized!!

1- which one is more popular?
2- not that I ever buy my watches as investment but which one holds value more?


Any help making the decision is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

When I think of a platinum Rolex, it’s the DD40 that comes up first.

Platona.

Having just seen an interview with Roger Federer at the Hopman Cup, he rolled his sleeve up and showed off the Platona. That thing popped like I couldn't believe. WOW

My grail, the platinum Day date.

[ap1]

Had each. If I were to do it again I’d go dd40 romans. I’m very pleased with 519 for the pm Daytona

[travisb]

The Daytona is the only platinum watch I could see myself getting.

[Jason71]

Platinum Daytona first. On down the line add the Platinum DD as well. That’s my plan at least.

Had both in hand ...underwhelmed by the plat DD40,smooth bezel perhaps the biggest factor.
Daytona Nespresso ...AWESOME !! the combination of brown and blue ,just perfect.

Great “ problem” to have Doc,,,
Can’t go wrong with either,
Very best of luck,,

I voted DD40 Smooth Bezel.

Bracelet is special, and it's a classic design

[scarlet knight]

I voted DD. I have 5 Rolexes and many other watches. There are some great and expensive watches that are getting no wrist time. My latest move is to consolidate. Trade 2 or 3 for 1.

Are your watches getting wristtime?

Day Date. Not a fan of the brown bezel on the Daytona

Daytona

Platinum DayDate 40. You already have 2 x Daytona's. Go for the classic DD40.

Platinum Datona gets my vote! Had the opportunity to try one on at an AD and it's quite beautiful in person.

I'm with Jason71 - Daytona first!

IMO the DD with deconstructed romans is the nicest platinum watch in the line up.

I think with your collection that would be the way I’d go.

Perhaps it looks better in person, but I've never cared for the bezel/dial color combo of the Platona

[nicky77]

I like the Day Date more.

[Gerardus]

DD all the way.

[s2h904]

DD in my opinion-that's my goal/grail for 2019

[Watchfiend12]

Day Date is amazing. Both are but... DD

[LondonLukeM]

i prefer the daytona but seeing as you already have 2...defo the DD40

[rolexpatek363]

That brown bezel is a total show-stopper for me, so DD 40 or 36.

[wildcat465]

That's a decision that I'm glad I don't need to make. Owning a Pt DD, I find myself drooling for a Pt Daytona (I have zero desire for the SS model—I don't understand the frenzy for it). . . but, I also look at my wife's RG DD and I want one of those, too. My point is that there will always be other watches that I want, but I consider myself fortunate to own the DD.

Either of these choices is a winner, just depends on what you want.

Neither. Platinum historically loses value over time. That's a watch you have to buy because you want it no matter what the future holds.

[Speedbird-1]

Brown.....on a watch? Nah, not for me.

[Tangier11]

Daytona without question! And I am a DD owner (YG) But for me, a DD should be yellow gold. IMHO

[watchwatcher]

For me, the Platona hands down, as I already have the WG DD40, which I prefer over the platinum version due to the interaction between the Romans and the fluted bezel. It's just magic.

For you, I think I would look at the DD, since you already have two Daytona's.

Factor both of us out of the equation and I think I would give the slightest of nods to the Platona due to it's adjustability in the bracelet...with platinum, I think this would be important.
