I’m not a big fan of diamonds, so I would go stick or Roman. I LOVE the fluted bezel so I would stick with gold. Earlier this month, I actually got to try on my two favorite Daydate iterations, RG-Olive-Roman and WG-Blue-Roman. They’re all beautiful; but of your choices I would say PT-stick. Can’t vote on the app :(

that platinum is a killer either way and the best choice in my opinion over a watch that I also love (but in RG olive).

platinum with romans in this choice.

Smooth bezel just looks wrong with the president bracelet.

Do you prefer yellow metals or silver tones?

YG

But whatever you choose go with fluted. I thought there were laws against a smooth bezel on a DD.

Totally agreed with you. I find the 36mm is the best size for dress watch

The 40mm works well on sport watch
