Never seems to be much speak of the Day/Date on here, what are the thoughts on this besides "don't pay retail". Is this still a grail watch for many? Show your wrist shots!!!!

rmlovett1 · 23 April 2019, 01:31 AM

-One of my favorite pieces for certain

-I wouldn’t pay retail while you can still get a new one from trusted sellers here, still at a discount (although that’s inching closer because of the Rolex craziness)

-Grail for many I’m sure

=An all around versatile piece in any metal..IMO

I would love one of the new President 40s but my 36mm will have to make do in the meantime

BisonHead · 23 April 2019, 01:50 AM

Grail for me most defiantly, YG 36 vintage

JayHantz · 23 April 2019, 01:55 AM

I always enjoyed the Day Date and I would love to own one.

Richard, amazing pic!

If you use the search function you’ll find lots and lots and lots of discussion about various models of DD. The vast majority are fans of the watch.

Great Shots

Gerardus · 23 April 2019, 03:25 AM

subprimero · 23 April 2019, 03:48 AM

It was a grail for me and my first Rolex purchase.

Phrank · 23 April 2019, 03:55 AM

An excuse to post a pic of my DD!!!!

Lots of threads on the forum regarding the DD.

Yehaa!!

Tavi · 23 April 2019, 04:14 AM

I’m definitely beginning to feel the force of the President and am strongly considering one. Started thinking about the white gold version but now I think full-on YG or RG - go big or go home kinda thing.

Been through a lot of watches: Sub-C, Deepsea, GMT LN, Datejust 41...currently have the BLNR and BLRO but will likely end my Rolex journey with the BLRO and a Day-Date. A big, in your face, yellow gold, gaudy and beautiful Rolex!

Still working through the mental process, research, etc.

Not a grail, but that bracelet is exceptional.

Gunnersaurus · 23 April 2019, 04:23 AM

Would love one, but a bit out of my price range unfortunately. Maybe one day

enjoythemusic · 23 April 2019, 05:46 AM

Would not call it a grail timepiece, yet glad to have one.

Grail, for me, is something far more intricate.

Definition of over-engineering. Utterly pointless.

The DD is the most perfect watch on the market and has been for decades

wesdaniel · 23 April 2019, 07:01 AM

It was my grail since I was a teenager. Enough so that I have one in yellow and one in white!
