Completely different I know but after my GMT2C this forum has given me the bug.

I am not in a position yet to get either but out of all the choices available these two are my favourite & the ones I plan to save for.

I couldn't afford both so just asking for opinions which you would go for ?.

If the owners don't mind, I have taken these pics from a WRUW thread.

Just humour me & it gives me a chance to see their beauty again ;)

I already have a black sub, so for variety, I'd choose the....... WG Sub!

crowncollection · 17 April 2013, 07:24 PM

Day date for me

With one tool watch in the bag already, I'd say the DD. I predict the next Rolex won't be your last one, so the Sub can be added later...

travisb · 17 April 2013, 07:49 PM

WG Sub.

If it were up against the DDII, then it would be a closer contest for me.

Chris B · 17 April 2013, 08:07 PM

Both handsome watches, but I prefer the subtle beauty of the Pl DD

I wouldn't swap mine for anything

My first choice would be the wg sub. It's a great looking watch.

In addition, if and when the time comes to add the DD, I wouldn't do the platinum DD, but rather the wg. If I were going to spend that kind of $'s on a dress watch, it would be on a Patek or Lange rather than spending the additional coin on platinum Rolex.
Good luck on your hunt.

Gaijin · 17 April 2013, 10:58 PM

DD for me. My grail.

Cru Jones · 17 April 2013, 11:03 PM

btw these two, the plat DD FTW.

zeuloa · 17 April 2013, 11:07 PM

Platinum DD for me!

MitchCut1 · 17 April 2013, 11:07 PM

DD all year round!

tomchicago · 18 April 2013, 12:02 AM

Well, you can't go wrong either way. Only marginal differences I can think of is that the Sub might look a bit out of place with a proper suit while DD might look bit out of place in a sporty setting, but either watch can still pull off the job. But, seriously, either way you can't go wrong!

Sam Philip · 18 April 2013, 12:29 AM

Out of the two choices I would get the Platinum DD

WatchWeb · 18 April 2013, 12:33 AM

Been to a AD today their quoting :-

£24,700 for the WG Sub

&

I think from memory £38,000 for the DD.

I'm off to empty my piggy bank....

LightOnAHill · 18 April 2013, 12:33 AM

I'd do the wg sub and a date just with the money left over as opposed to the platty dd

Jetkopite · 18 April 2013, 12:34 AM

No competition for me WG Sub... Mind you that's my next incoming so I would say that...

Htab · 18 April 2013, 12:50 AM

Platinum DD for me.

tedscott3 · 18 April 2013, 12:52 AM

DD Plat for sure.

sea-dweller · 18 April 2013, 01:00 AM

Sub for me

SaddleSC · 18 April 2013, 01:06 AM

Platinum DDII for me...I prefer the 41mm and love the look of the concentric blue dial.

SohAIS · 18 April 2013, 01:09 AM

Platinum DDII for me. that is my grail

kilyung · 18 April 2013, 06:29 AM

Sorry but I couldn't pick so I got both.

jlc123 · 18 April 2013, 06:36 AM

The Platinum day date is amazing, but the WG Sub is the best!

A.Sharp · 18 April 2013, 06:37 AM
