So excited to get mine back from RSC this weekend.


I missed my baby... But it gave the other a bit of wrist time while I waited.

Great photos of Day Dates; love the newer models... For me I'll stick with the old tried and true (1972 vintage)!!!

My 18238

This is my 1989 18238, with tapestry dial, would like to change it to a white dial with numerals, but finding it difficult to find someone to do it, don't want to go to Rolex

Thank you so much! The DD2 was/is my Grail watch.
Only reason the Platinum model hasn't been added is due to the smooth bezel....

I can't have a DayDate without a flutes bezel.....it ain't right!
For all you fluted bezel DJ2 and DD2 owners, you know when the light hits the bezel (especially in the car) the entire room turns into a light show from the reflection.

Sharp! Notice any difference in accuracy with your other DDs?

Great pic Eric. You inspired me to get mine.

That's my first pick trying it on in the store. It was love at first sight.

I am truly humbled that I inspired you to get your beautiful DD II and truly do understand your feeling about love at first site with it as those feelings mirror my own when I first saw the DD in person so many years ago.

Congrats again and may you wear it in the best of health, my friend.
