This.

Modern Day Dates, especially the DD40 might see an adjustment but not a "blow up". You might see some grey's at 29.5K or so maybe. There are more millionaires in the world today and in one year there will probably be more than today. The question is will YG be more or less popular due to corona?

25% off?

Damn that’s a huge coupon

If you've tried the 36mm and it gives the look you want then I'm jealous and you should get one immediately and never look back.

Oh ok! Yeah 36 might look small on you then. On the plus side, you can wear lots of other watches well!

A DD is outta my budget right now, but I do love seeing pictures and window shopping online!

Yeah the latest DD36 doesn’t have many dial options right now. I expect Rolex might update those soon.

Or optimistically (from a watch lovers stand point) the DD were bought to celebrate and to admire by fiscally responsible collectors (rather than speculators) who are all enjoying the watches while sitting at home waiting out the storm. So no need to sell a beloved piece that's for life to convert back into cash.

Hopefully right?

Just to clarify that was specifically for a DD36, nothing else.
