The YG DD36 (or any size DD, for that matter) are really hard to fly under the radar with. The PT DD36, though rarer and pricier, is FAR easier to wear unnoticed- probably because of its resemblance to SS. Hence my handle. I have worn a 118238 and a 118206 (African Mahogany and GLAWAP dials, respectively) for years, now; as far as your “recognizable,” choose your metal(s) accordingly. I got the 118238 first, and then added the 118206 for a stealthier approach. Just my $.02.

OK, I’ll bite - What’s a “GLAWAP” dial?

(One would not dispute, e.g., that “Gentlemen Love A WAP,” although that truism doesn’t seem to specify any particular watch dial. However, I’m presuming that your acronym has a wholly different, horological referent!)

Otherwise, I tend to agree with Low-Key - A YG DD will be more noticeable than almost any white metal one. The WG and platinum models are more IYKYK … but sadly, thieves are often among those who do know.

Wow, hadn’t considered the prospect of that acronym. Haha. I should’ve checked back here earlier. No, it stands for GLAcier WAves Platinum; apologies in advance for my poor photo-taking skills:

Thanks! Yes, it's a 2o24 model, presented at W&W and launched around the end of summer.
