YG DD40 vs SkyDweller
Looking to flip either my YG DD40 or my YG SkyDweller. Making room for an ALS Datograph.
I still would have a Platona, WG Pepsi, Hulk and DJ41 with blue dial on Jubilee. From Lange I have Lange 1 Time Zone in platinum. Thanks for advice! |

Honestly - I would not flip either of these.
They are beautiful |

If I absolutely had to flip one it would be the Skydweller. The DD is a classic Rolex.

Personally, the DD40 is the keeper.

Day date is the keeper. Something about the dd40 that just works for me! I am not usually a PM type of guy, but I'd wear almost any dd40.

I wish I had to try and decide. but since you’re the one in this dilemma I’d say neither. I vote for the WG Pepsi

Keep the DD, it's a proven classic. We're talking decades here.

Keep the 40. Better yet flip the Pepsi.

Tough one. I love both those watches. Although I can see flipping one of them since they are both yellow gold. Ideally I would have both, but have one in rose gold. Think I'd flip the Day date only because I'm really digging those PM Sky Dwellers right now. You can always get another DD later on down the road.

My feeling now is to keep both and flip WG Pepsi. I’m first in at my AD for Pepsi GMT Jubilee and Rose Gold GMT. Neither of which have come through yet.
