Absolutely killer focused collection. The green Stella stands out but the wood dial and the tiger eye... amazing!

carwashchris · 31 March 2020, 09:20 AM

OMG !! So that's where all the nice ones went. What a fine exhibit of DD's.

Thanks so much. Chris

Ballzzz · 31 March 2020, 10:50 AM

Nice, what type of bracelet is that on the top #2 piece with the black dial?

Jay (Eire) · 31 March 2020, 10:55 AM

Somebody has a reasonable degree of focus. Inspiring.

The green (Stella?), Oynx and the Lapis are stars for me. What a collection.

I was wondering too.

Beautiful collections - thank you for sharing!

They all sing to me but I really like that one in the middle row at the end on a strap. Beautiful.

darthgman · 31 March 2020, 04:41 PM

Very very nice collection.

glamorama · 31 March 2020, 04:55 PM

That is some unique pieces right there! Cool collection theme.

Andad · 31 March 2020, 05:25 PM

Very nice lineup.

But you desperately need a YG white dial with Romans.

sgwatchguy · 31 March 2020, 07:13 PM

Outstanding. Now, if you told us about the circumstance of each purchase, that would be really a cool story.

Great collection.

mimo5000 · 31 March 2020, 10:45 PM

Amazing DD collection!
How do you possibly choose which to wear daily?
My favs are the Stella green dial and the one right in the middle (WG with what looks like a maroon dial... Not an oxblood Stella is it??)

Is that bottom right dial tiger eye?

That's a pretty fantastic Day Date line up - love the diversity. Really nice to see someone focusing on these rather than the Sports models like the rest of us.

Love the different dial and bracelet variations.

I have a soft spot for the DD - recently when Jack Nicklaus' Rolex DD was sold at Phillip's in NYC I wore my wife's DD 36 to the sale. Well she didn't get it back for almost 3 weeks. I really enjoyed wearing it - it was a bit colder then so I mainly wore it with hoodie's and such. Loved pairing it with a more casual look.

Sorry for the delay, and many thanks for all the kind commentary!

To answer some of the questions, numbering them 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 -

The #2 in the top row is an aftermarket version of a Florentine finish (I think), see 2d pic below.
The #1 is a Florentine 1806 w/brick bracelet.
The #8, which seems to look oxblood/plum/etc. is actually just a black dial, it must be an odd reflection.
The #5 is a super nice silver linen dial.
The #6 and #13 are both Stellas.
The #9 is lapis, #14 is onyx, and #15 is tiger eye - One of my favorites. I love the no-index stone dials (they should 100% do a WG no-index 36mm meteorite DD with black Buckley hands, they might actually sell me a new watch!)
All the dates and references will have to wait, but most are regular 1803, 18038/9 or 18238/9. Exceptions off the top of my head - #1 is an 1806, #6 (WG bark) is a 18249, and #14 (domed bezel) is a 18208.

Fantastic collection. I personally love an 1803 on a gold rivet oyster bracelet. If you don’t already have one of those bracelets, might change things up a bit to add.

I'm usually not one for brightly colored dials but that green on white gold is epic!

Great collection.

Surprised you don't have a Tridor. Maybe that's next?

BNA/LION · 1 April 2020, 02:33 PM

Nice Collection!

Navarino · 1 April 2020, 02:50 PM

That YG + Onyx dial. Perfection. Amazing collection!

Scapegoat · 1 April 2020, 02:58 PM

Holy cow... well done

Jsol · 1 April 2020, 03:57 PM

You left me speechless. Stella, Onyx, Tiger eye, YG, WG, bark! You da man

Thanks for the run down, wondering , no smooth bezels , not a favorite or just haven't found the right one ?
