DD40 Incoming

Well….pulled the trigger! This one has been on the radar for the better part of 18 months. Was going to wait till mid year, but had a nice opportunity with my dealer present itself. Dated mid 22’ but appears unworn….loving it! And some pics of its stablemates

Congrats on pulling the trigger! It's always exciting to finally get a watch that you've had your eye on for a while. And it's even better when you find one that's in great condition. I'm glad you're loving it! Can't wait to see the pics of its stablemates.

The DD40’s are the best Rolex design.

So true!!!

I resisted the urge for years but once I spent time handling a few, I couldn’t help myself!

Thank you, I rarely wear my Exp on the bracelet. Generally rotate between a white and orange Rubber B
