Day date opinions

[blah114]

I’ve been working my way “up” to either a day date 40 or dd i I.

Is this an everyday watch for some? I have considered also a rose gold sky dweller, but I like the simplicity of the day date. To me, the day date 40 looks small, but I do have small wrists. This is entering Patek calendar territory, but I really believe the bracelet of the day date is beautiful.

Does anyone here have feedback regarding the bracelet of the day date 2 vs 40.. are the bracelets different? I’ve watched a few video comparisons of the two, but the bracelet isn’t mentioned. The 40, preowned, seems to sell for less than the II. I think I’d buy the white dial, Roman numeral yellow gold day date..I’d end up trading in a rolex or two to do so, but that’s another discussion.

I have today a Pepsi GMT, two tone blue sub (which I’ve come to love), a deep blue, a 1973 air king, an explorer 1... and a Patek Calatrava.. the Calatrava and blue two tone sub will never be sold. As a matter of fact, the Patek is a key reason I’ve not bought the day date yet.

I’ve worn , in stores, both the 2 and the 40–both fit well. I can’t afford the platinum personally.

Are there day date owners that care to weigh in about wearing this piece?
