Dmitrii, I would say a silver DD40 would be best to pair with your Daytona. Plus you have a Sub and GMT for pure sports as well. Chances are these two will go for the Smurf anyway.

Your Smurf pics are the reason I am now undecided. That blue is amazing.

Wowww, scary

WG Sub for me also as I feel its a little more versatile with regards to formal and smart casual attire...

Famz_01 · 9 January 2016, 10:57 AM

Imo a watch that commands mid 20 should have a little bit of bling factor. It doesn't look much different from the sub in black or green. At least with the day date you have a watch that has a superior movement, a bracelet exclusive to the day date, and just a more unique altogether. Keep in mind I just turned 30 so maybe my taste is relative to my lifestyle

DR.Golf · 9 January 2016, 11:40 AM

Having owned both I will tell you the SUB will get more wrist time but the DD provides a superior wearing experience.

Hope that males some sense.

Also 30, and love the idea of the presidential bracelet ONLY being on the DD.

Insane how close the voting has been.

Thanks for all the input and advice but to be honest I'm no closer in settling on one.

Luckily I have until March to decide, and maybe see if some new dials are unveiled.

Awesome pics too guys, thanks for making me want both even more.

I'm surprised at how close the opinions are. A diver's watch in a soft precious metal that looks similar to the stainless version makes no sense to me — especially in this case since you have the 116610.

The 40 mm Day-Date gets you Rolex's new movement, a great-looking update to a classic design that will likely get better with age, something that actually looks different than your current Submariner, and a model that's much more in-demand in case you ever decide to sell it.

The WG Sub gets you a heavier, softer version of a watch you already have, and in pretty much the same metal colour.

I just don't see much appeal to the 116619.

Yes but I think the DD looks great with a tshirt too.

I already have a SS Pepsi and not crazy about the colors on the WG one.

watchwatcher · 8 January 2016, 04:01 AM

I'm more of a sports watch guy, but I think given your collection, the DD40. And I would go silver dial.

superstarmar · 8 January 2016, 04:15 AM

Like you said you already have a YG Daytona ...
Smurf all the way!!! But the DD 40 is gorgeous ....
If you didn't have the YG Daytona
I'd say DD 40 with champaigne or silver dial first !!!
BTW both of those dials are stunning ...
But since you already have a YG piece I would get
The Smurf Sub!!!!

HL65 · 8 January 2016, 04:16 AM

DD40 but make it a YG sunburst blue and perhaps different answer even as owner of both.

1st amg · 8 January 2016, 04:38 AM

Smurf

To me the DD40 is the one. I find the smurf substantially less appealing.

ltmgeller · 8 January 2016, 05:55 AM

I prefer YG to WG. That's just me.

JapRs · 8 January 2016, 06:25 AM

WG sub by far

locutus49 · 8 January 2016, 06:32 AM

tecknik10 · 8 January 2016, 09:35 PM

Im in the same boat considering the DD40 in RG & YG but the Smurf has caught my attention lately. Tough choice thats why I haven't pulled the trigger and is nice to see someone else in the same posistion.

Are those your only options? Are you also waiting for Basel 16?

ap1 · 8 January 2016, 09:38 PM

Just sayin

Sub/GMT · 8 January 2016, 10:31 PM

I love the president bracelet very much, but the DD40 does not have it for me when I saw it on the wrist. That last thing is very important. You must see it for real on the flesh. So this is what I decided.......

Good luck with your choice

Making this very hard for me with that pic.

I've tried on at an AD before and couldnt get a good feel because watch wasn't sized.

You should ask them to size it properly for you. Your AD should be more than willing to do that for you

adawil2002 · 8 January 2016, 11:35 PM

Why not consider a WG DD? I voted to go with the WG Sub for this poll.

One more thing.....you can wear this baby any place any time with anything you wear

YG Day Date 40, but YG Sub Sunburst dial for the win! More sporty too. I owned a WG Sub and enjoyed it until the YG bug took over.
