RG DD II or RG Daytona?

Please help me people.

After recently buying a YG GMT II from Selfridges, London with an ok 10% discount I am now trying to decide on my first RG addition.

What do you all think...... RG DD II or RG Daytona?

If it has the chocolate dial, DD for me. How could you go wrong with either, however?

Given your current set up I'd go DD - one sport and one dress. Both allow crossing the border either way between casual/formal, without giving up the date function.

Fantastic, in my hypothetical Grail list this watch shares the second position along with its recently introduced diamond dial brother. You can easily guess which is number one

Oh dude... no question - Daytona RG Black dial (then you can modify it with the chocolate dial later).

While both watches are unobtanium for me, my vote
goes to DDII. It would be a real prize.

I have come to realize that I will never own a Daytona... Without a doubt for me the 218235. Good luck with your decision! Fun times!

Chocolate (or creme) ceramic Daytona on leather strap. Not a fan of precious metal bracelets.

That's the one for me. Dial is easier to read than on choco Daytona, plus you have the president bracelet. This video shows it off in all its glory.

On two separate Occasions I had gone to buy a RG Daytona and President. Both times I came home with yellow gold. Go and see side by side before you choose. I glad I did. Having said this both are spectacular!
