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.

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.

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!
