What should i do??!

[aagahi]

ok everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle and need your help...

I have the Yachtmaster 40 Everose, but I'm looking to possibly trade for a lifelong everyday wear piece, not sure though. ( I am 33 and middle eastern decent with darker skin tone and wrist is about a 6 3/4" morning 7" after the gym)...

I can't decide if i want to trade for the Daydate with presidential bracelet.

HERE ARE THE OPTIONS:
1) keep the yachtmaster 40.
2) New Rose gold daydate-40 60th anniversary with green dial and roman numerals
3) New White gold daydate-40 60th anniversary with green dial and roman numerals
4)White gold daydate-40 with blue dial and roman numerals
5) Platinum Daydate-40 w/ smooth bezel and ice blue motif dial
6) Platinum Daydate-40 w/ smooth bezel and ice blue quadrant motif roman numerals
OR
7) Daydate-36 Rose gold w/ rhodium/or chocolate dial stick markers.
8) Daydate-36 White gold w/ blue dial and stick markers.

Tell me what you think please. Much appreciated. Remember this is for a lifelong, everyday wear piece that I don't plan to trade in for the next 20 yrs

For 1 lifelong, the Plat DD40 with ice blue dial, pick your fave style. For two watches, 1 and 3.

I would go option 2 good luck

[Cru Jones]

All excellent choices!

I'd go with #3, but you just can't go wrong.

[Dr.Smellody]

I'd keep what you have.

[Hotrod297]

WG green or blue. But the only issue maybe after gym time, it doesn't have the easy link adjustment.

I wouldn't focus so much on finding a "lifelong" piece. It puts too much pressure on the decision and tastes change over time.

Figure out which one you like best right now and go for it.

[Lemieux66]

Platinum DD40 for me.

But could you get a 114060 too, for active times?

[Gerardus]

1- would be 7 for me.
2- option 2

Number 5) and get a beater (Daytona)

[Carrera997]

Whatever you choose will be right because there are no wrong decisions in that group!

There's not one piece on your list that isn't a lifelong every day wearer...so, get the one you like the most.

[tkerrmd]

Anything platinum

[Watch Rob]

gotta go plat for the daily beater.

[fishingbear]

Platinum is for life

[tomchicago]

none of the above. get a SS watch

[Dominik]

I would say keep your beautiful yachtmaster. Is the best watch for each day compared to the others. Think well.

"I'm looking to possibly trade for a lifelong everyday wear piece, not sure though."

Are you unsure about trading or wearing as a lifelong every day or both? Would you also own another watch even if this piece is your go to?

I'm not a particularly big fan of Rolex's everose in general. However, I met one of the trainers for the NY Knicks last week. Clearly looked like a former player at 6'7", dark complexion, well muscled but not particularly large wrist. He was buying a Rose Gold Skydweller on strap and it looked phenomenal on his wrist. With darker skin tones, it really works and would get my vote.

Dd40

I'm going to warn you that if you see as much as 1/4" swelling regularly, getting a comfortable fit on a DD is nigh impossible. There are no micro adjustments. You'll just have to wear it loose for when your wrist is smaller. One of the idiosyncrasies of DD ownership.

Having said that I love my Pt DDII.

[Etschell]

anniversary green, it is the best dial in my humble opinion.

This ......... for an every day wearer.

[jaySL350]

dd 40 with ice blue dial on platinum,,every time,,,
best of luck,,,,,jay

[hallidc]

#1 for me! Anniversary green

[904VT]

What about the platinum day date with the green dial, it's a beauty!

[cda555]

All of these choices would be tough since your wrist changes in size so much. Something with a glidelock would be better suited.

This is very true. It's the main reason there is no DD40 in my stable.

That and it's a s@#t ton of money.
