Def going after one of these baby's mid march.

Initially wanted the DD40 in YG as I've been craving a presidential bracelet in yellow for some time now. I'm 30 years old and although the DD is usually seen on older gents, I can't help but want one.

I do however alrdy have a YG Daytona in my collection and have no intention of moving it.

Suddenly two weeks ago i'm bit by the Smurf bug and have been looking at pictures and threads since. I love the stealthiness it has vs. something loud and in your face like a YG Day Date 40. But I love the classic Presidential Yellow Gold, here I am look of the YG DD.

I do have a SS Sub C as well with which I don't want to part with either.

I will be moving the DSSD to make room for my next one.

Thoughts?

YG DD 40 champagne roman in a heartbeat.

Danny83 · 8 January 2016, 01:51 AM

I love the smurf but out of the two DD40.

RMC12 · 8 January 2016, 02:03 AM

Smurf for me out of these two. If we had been talking Platinum DD40 then that would be VERY different.

sickened1 · 8 January 2016, 02:04 AM

DD40 over Smurf for me and I don't even like YG.

ap1 · 8 January 2016, 02:09 AM

both stellar - smurf edges out DD40 due to versatility

Rockrolex · 8 January 2016, 02:28 AM

I would go with the YG DD40. I am not a fan of Subs in any way, shape, or form.

Eric Chan · 8 January 2016, 02:28 AM

DD 40 all the way. Especially love the silver Roman dial on it.

kilyung · 8 January 2016, 02:28 AM

Tough call! Both are fantastic models. Make sure you try on the DD40 as it doesn't have micro adjustments so you may have to wear it a little looser than normal (unless you want to pay for a 1.25 link or two). The WG Sub has the fantastic glidelock clasp that you're obviously used to. In my experience the glidelock clasp is even more useful with PM watches because of the weight.

KBM · 8 January 2016, 02:41 AM

I think the new DD 40 looks stunning, but I'm a sports watch guy at heart. I'd get the sub first.

T01 · 8 January 2016, 02:46 AM

Smurf

kirksingleton · 8 January 2016, 02:46 AM

both are very nice, I am more of a sport watch guy myself

Excellent points Mike.

Not to high jack the thread, but I seem to recall that Rolex had a patent pending on some sort of adjustment for the president braclet

I wonder if that's ever going to come to pass.

Dd and a ss sub

joli160 · 8 January 2016, 03:11 AM

Love my blue sub, but nothing beats a president bracelet, DD40

Gerardus · 8 January 2016, 03:16 AM

No brainer, DD40 (or.....36mm)

thomaspp · 8 January 2016, 03:18 AM

Sub!

CRM114 · 8 January 2016, 03:29 AM

Day Date. It's THE gold Rolex icon, not a gussied-up version of a SS model, and the bracelet is indeed crave worthy. Pure class.

mikkemus23 · 8 January 2016, 03:34 AM

Smurf, but have to admit the new(ish) DD40 is a stunner. So here you can`t go wrong.

Flex368 · 8 January 2016, 03:40 AM

DD40 for sure.

texex91 · 8 January 2016, 03:42 AM

DD too dressy for me.

WG Sub for the win.

watchwatcher · 8 January 2016, 04:01 AM

I'm more of a sports watch guy, but I think given your collection, the DD40. And I would go silver dial.

superstarmar · 8 January 2016, 04:15 AM

Like you said you already have a YG Daytona ...
Smurf all the way!!! But the DD 40 is gorgeous ....
If you didn't have the YG Daytona
I'd say DD 40 with champaigne or silver dial first !!!
BTW both of those dials are stunning ...
But since you already have a YG piece I would get
The Smurf Sub!!!!

HL65 · 8 January 2016, 04:16 AM

DD40 but make it a YG sunburst blue and perhaps different answer even as owner of both.

1st amg · 8 January 2016, 04:38 AM

Smurf

ZeKe · 8 January 2016, 04:49 AM

Of the two I'd go with DD40....Have you considered the 116719 BLRO?

Relyt · 8 January 2016, 04:50 AM

Smurffff

To me the DD40 is the one. I find the smurf substantially less appealing.
