Battle of the Platinums....which would you choose?
Hello everyone here on TRF! Just wanted to put a quick query out here to see which of the full platinum Rolex models you would choose. So, please vote and share your thoughts/comments to support your choice between the Daytona and the President.

Definitely the Daytona out of these 2. Unless the new DD40 is an option, then probably that simply for its technological and horological improvements.

I was all for the platinum DD until the 50th anniversary Daytona hit the shelves. The Daytona with the color combo of the bezel is the winner here.

Personally, I like the President in YG.
Daytona hands down.

For my money probably neither, but between the DD40 Platnium and the Daytona, I'd go DD40. I like the Daytona in steel or Rose Gold more

DayDate2. The Daytona brown bezel is not for me.

Haven't seen the DD40 in person yet, but based on pictures, I would still go with Platona. The ceramic bezel and subdials offer amazing contrast the DD does not have.

I really like it. But the Daytona is also spectacular. (Un)Luckily I don't have to make such a choice.

Tough choice.

Daytona looks more interesting but DD feels like it makes more sense.

Platona between these two but it won't be my first choice at that price range.
