For pure aesthetics it has to be the DD. This was designed to be a 'looker' whereas the sub, even in two-tone, is fundamentally a tool watch.

would you wear the DD not daily but maybe two times a week or several times a month?

DD for me as I've never been a fan of two-tone watches.

They're both equally aesthetically pleasing...each in their own way.

The TT to me is more of a sporty casual piece. So, it's all a question of what you want.

Lol at the guy who posts a reply just to say say his watch is most pleasing...
Facepalm...


Anyways, the TT sub would be my pick as far as aesthetics goes...much more interesting than the dd which is just too monochromatic amd boring to me

DD by a mile

As far as the Sub, I'd either go all gold/white gold OR SS if I were you.

Yes, I am serious with this question. However, the root of my question is two fold.

1) Would you wear the DD as a daily watch or only for special occasions?
2) Is $25K too much to spend on a watch if you only wear it on occasion? I understand that this can only be answered by the buyer .

The TT blue sub has always been a looker for me. That is the watch to attracted me to Rolex 20 years ago. However, the DD is no doubt a looker but I personally would be afraid to wear it regularly. I would probably leave it in the box most of the time and wear my black dial 116610. The DD is too beautiful to leave in a box IMO. This would be my dilemma. I do think the TT Date Just II with champagne dial is a looker also. Maybe that is more up my ally.

DD ... It all depends on lifestyle, my father bought a 36mm DD in the 60's and wore it daily with the exceptions when he went to the beach or so... But he work on a suit every day. So again it depends on lifestyle.

DD of course! Love them both; can imagine owning a bluesy some day but that DD is something else!
