Rose Gold DDII. Has a date and day. Perfect size at 41mm and the prez bracelet is one of a kind. Pair it with a chocolate dial and you will never wake up from your dream.

I love both but since I already own the WG DD II. I will take the RG Daytona with the black dial.

I would get the Daytona over the DD2. The DD1 over the Daytona. The Bezel in the deal killer for me on the DD2.

116505 black dial with the red chrono hand all the way (apologies I don't have pics to share, however, there are some members here that own it)... Something about the 218235 chocolate dial that does not sing to me at all (thank goodness for the one day test run I was granted to decide)

Daytona RG!


I do like the DDII but given the choice I'd go with the sportier of the two.

I dream of a wg DDII, so I'd do a RG Daytona over a RG DDii, though I'd take a RG TT DjI over all that cause I think RG goes so well in rolesor

I'd gladly buy both but as a one and only I'd take the DD-II, it looks more versatile to me.
