40th Birthday coming...what to buy?
Hi guys,

Next year will mark my 40th birthday. I'm debating on a couple pieces.

1. Day-Date, gold, Italian days of the week
2. Date-just, two tone
3. Patek Calatrava 5119, gold
4. Vacheron Constantin, Patrimony

Thoughts, comments, jokes all welcome.

DD40

you can tell people it is called the day date 40 because you had it made especially to commemorate your 40th birthday

I'm hitting 40 next year as well and the DD40 is on my list of possibles, check out the platinum ones!

I'm also considering a Breguet Marine 5817 (maybe this year) and the top of my list is an FP Journe Octa Lune in Pt (also 40mm).
