Wanting to set my grail goal. Which would you choose and why?

I have a couple ideas about which way I want to go

I like some aspects of one model and some of the other as well as dial marker combinations.

Which would be yours?

I'd choose the platinum one with the ice blue dial.

Based on your signature owning a rose gold Daytona, and a rose gold YM - I would add my vote for the diamond dial DD. It is a classic look with some awesome pop from when the light catches the diamonds.

But you really cannot go wrong with ANY of those platinum models...

The DD40 with the deconstructed Romans is truly a work of art. Just have to decide whether you want a diamond dial or no?....

If you’re keeping your PM Daytona, I’d definitely go DD. I’m biased towards the motif, stick/baton dial, but all of your DD choices are spectacular!

Platona with Diamond markers.

(I never liked the smooth bezel on Plat DD. The bezel should be fluted for any DD.)

Are you keeping your Daytona? If so, I would go with one of the DD40's. Most likely the Romans, although that's a tough choice.

I much prefer a fluted bezel on a DD40. I just think the scratches a smooth bezel would attract would drive my crazy on a grail piece. I would go platinum Daytona sans diamonds.

The Daytona does nothing for me, let alone one with brown on it. So I have to do with the DD and I prefer roman, the blue on blue looks really nice as well.

I'm gonna go w/ the Platona (non Diamond), or the DD40 Decon/Roman as a 2nd by a hair!

Im not a diamond fan at all! Id narrow it down to the DD with Romans and the Daytona brown subdials. Then Id go Platona....It would be my grail as well but I have enough of a problem wearing 20k on my wrist so wearing 60 is out of the question for me. Enjoy the search....

Number 4, but it’s a very tough call.

I'd say either Daytona with no diamonds or DD40 with diamonds. You have a very good problem if you're trying to decide between these two.
