Is this the best looking Rolex watch ever?

This was my favorite of the DD2's and I think is the best looking Rolex to date. I wish they had this exact looking watch in 40mm as the deconstructed numerals do not look nearly as nice as this.

If you think it is, then it must be.

If you think it's not, then it's not.

Not in my books, but it is spectacular for sure. I can't say I have just one favourite.

They are like children we always think ours is prettiest. Some of course on TRF have more children than others!

I own a yellow old DDII but have to agree that watch when seen in person has something about it, powerful sophisticated yet subtle. its probably my top favourite DDII. Never tried it on myself so I don't know how rose gold would suit me

Nope! If I could afford a DD I would go with PT first, or WG over all other golds.

Love that combo but not best one ever made. I prefer YG and the new DD40 on a champagne Roman probably my favorite at the moment.
