Geez, I was all set to say DD, but all the pics of GMT have made it a tough decision. Just depends on whether you want classic or sporty. They are both great watches. Have fun with your decision, sorry I couldn't help!!

DD. Although I am partial to the WG DD. Good luck.

Have you tried them both on? Watches are like clothes, which looks better on you?

psv · 23 May 2012, 03:04 PM

116718 is where it is at for me at this point. Partly because I know my wife would steel the DD, just like my 16610, and I would never see it again.;-)

AboutTime · 24 May 2012, 09:41 AM

The DD for would be the clear choice for me.

QueueCumber · 24 May 2012, 09:48 AM

DD... Can't vote though because the voting has ended...

gwozhog · 24 May 2012, 10:05 AM

unless you are talking about the dd2 there's no reason to even discuss this. gmt is the only way to go.

DJJon · 24 May 2012, 12:50 PM

Whatever sings to you. Forget the opinion of others, at $25K+ you better be happy.

YG Day-Date is a Rolex icon and instantly recognizable. YM is not - heck some non-WIS might think it's an Invicata for God's Sake. But again who cares if the YG YM is your grail ?

oneillba · 24 May 2012, 12:59 PM

DD gets my vote.

psv · 1 June 2012, 11:27 AM

Getting closer. Need to find the right deal...

Patrick, was the 116718 affected by the rate increase as well?

FremStar · 1 June 2012, 11:46 AM

This guy Mike!

Yeah Pat, I'm curious too.... Will the 718 get the price hike?

;-)

nick c · 1 June 2012, 11:51 AM

Was there a price hike on the YG DD?

psv · 2 June 2012, 05:28 AM

OK, the new price of the 116718 is $33,250. Up from $29,500. An increase with 11.3%.
