I have to agree, I've seen quite a few of them and I must say it always catches the attention. I actually prefer these dials when compared to the 'motif' on the AP Royal Oak.

I really like the chocolate myself, wish I had a spare 40k

Voted for Daytona platinum but Day Date 40 platinum laser ice blue dial would be fine too!

I tried on the platinum DD40 and ended up getting the Platona. I love my Platona, but honestly it may end up on the chopping block. I don’t wear it often enough. In order for the Platona to be comfortable I need to wear it every day. Otherwise the weight of it is incredible. Id choose the RG with green dial DD40 out of these choices.

Know what you mean both platinum models are massive. DD rose gold is much lighter when compared to DD platinum

Are you going to buy based on a poll? Or just narrowing options?
