The platinum DD speaks to me because it’s relatively rugged while still being considered a “high end” timepiece. Very torn!

1 by a mile. The ALS blows a platinum DD Out of the water in terms of value. Unless the ice blue dial is worth $30k, a white gold DD looked exactly the same to all non WIS

It was a thinker for sure!

I would go with option 2 but personally I would pick the DD40 with Ice-Blue Roman Dial.

Option 1. There's more variety in there and I'd get bored of Option 2 quickly.

Option 1, given a more rounded collection for all kinds of occasions covered......
