Just curious and still confused. Should I keep the DJII (white dial) with fluted bezel) or trade for a DDII (wg) with white or black dial ???

I just picked up a SS Daytona (white face) 2014 new in the box and have a DJII (with white face). I was originally looking for a DDII in gold but was not feeling the gold color on me once I had it on my wrist.

so the question .... Is it worth the extra cost to go from a DJII to a DDII (wg). Or just keep the 2 that I have ???

does anyone have any photos of the 2 side by side ???

luvsub · 25 July 2014, 03:24 PM

I think at least has one gold rolex in the collection at one point, see how you feel about it. It is different than SS :-) when you put it on your wrist. Maybe try it at AD. How about WG Sub? It is one of the most beautiful WG rolex out there. For DD, I like YG better. Just my two cents.

Yes the president bracelet is worth the cost of entry

AK797 · 25 July 2014, 08:49 PM

Def worth it. DDs are Rolex Royalty. Even our Queen likes this President.

superdog · 25 July 2014, 09:32 PM

i don't have the side by side comparison.

however, i can say, without question it is worth it. the DD2 is absolutely worth every penny.

it is an amazing watch, and so very different. incredibly different.

Mr DateJust · 25 July 2014, 10:01 PM

Yes. They are totally different watches that just happen to look somewhat similar. If I was in a position to do so I would upgrade to a DD.

Time Exposure · 25 July 2014, 10:05 PM

Easy call for some (myself included) but I can see your dilemma. Speaking strictly from the perspective of the cash difference, no way. Speaking from the soul and my love of watches, the history, heritage and style are definitely worth the difference.
If it weren't for my passion for watches, I could give you the same time from a Casio G-Shock...

kilyung · 25 July 2014, 11:28 PM

I think so.

RobertM · 26 July 2014, 12:08 AM

thanks guys,
I was thinking of only having a DD2 (wg) as the daily watch, but the it would not seem as special when you put it on. I am going to keep the Daytona (white dial) and then trade up to the DD (wg)..... Now what color dial (I like white) ??? not the question is... white dial Daytona and a white dial DD2 (wg)

Deyn Man · 26 July 2014, 12:42 AM

Ever considered trading your DJ for another DJ but with a different dial (ie. Black for example?)
If funds weren't an issue, I too would trade up!
As most have posted, price difference is worth it! :-)
From pics, I thought the blue one looked off... But was lucky enough to see one in the metal and WOW!

* edit: this was the model I posted about (pic from Swiss luxury and not mine)

Rolexpharm · 26 July 2014, 01:16 AM

Trade up to the DD and it is definitely worth the price difference. You won't regret it. Most of the DD models are people's grail so you are definitely upgrading

samson66 · 26 July 2014, 02:19 AM

I love the DDII but would go with rose gold, or possibly yellow. If you want the stainless/WG color I would actually suggest getting the DJII. It's just a huge jump in cost to go to a WG DDII and the color is so similar.

JustABreathAway · 26 July 2014, 02:23 AM

I'm a daily DDII lover, albeit in yellow, and absolutely love and adore the watch.

I have seen one WG DDII in the wild, and it looks nothing like the DJII. Something about the WG DDII captures the eye from across the room in an instant with it's radiance and brilliance.

While there is a price difference, I think it is more than justified, in real life.

totally agree

In my opinion, the DD II is worth the difference from the DJ II. Currently I do not own a DD or DD II, but plan to add a DD to my collection one day. I have the DJ and DJ II and love wearing both.

Coincidently enough, I was at an AD this morning trying on the DD and DD II. The weight difference from the DD's compared to the DJ's is amazing. The DD's feel so much heavier and sturdier, not to suggest DJ's aren't, but a big difference can be felt. If funds were not a concern, I would not hesitate to upgrade to a DD. My preference would be a YG DD with a white roman dial. Pure classic.

Yes you must see this dial in person, it looks a bit too much at first but looking at its best it is fantastic and also nice not to have two white dials.

joli160 · 26 July 2014, 07:45 AM

Yes, the DDII is a masterpiece

RobertM · 26 July 2014, 01:58 PM

boogiebot · 28 July 2014, 05:28 AM

Is it the DD2 worth the extra money?

Hmmm...... Let me answer the question by asking you this....

Is frogs ass water tight?? Hahahaha. Imo YES!!! The DD2 is an amazing piece.

iWally · 28 July 2014, 06:01 AM

DDII worth every penny! That presidential bracelet is something out of this world!

redsubby · 28 July 2014, 12:21 PM

Fo sho it is worth the money. Gold watches feel a lot more solid.

T01 · 28 July 2014, 12:37 PM

Totally worth the extra cost!

If they had that dial and hands with the 36mm DD, that probably would be on the top of my list to get next.

Kingplay · 28 July 2014, 02:07 PM

I own a DDii in white gold and an ivory face and love it. The President bracelet is so comfortable and looks great.
