What dd40 combos do you want to see at Basel18?

Hoping to see some new Day Date 40 dial options at Basel this year.

I'd like to see a YG DD40 with a red dial (romans or sticks). That would make me put my name on a list.

What new dial or combination are you looking fwd to most?

Would love to hear more of your thoughts on the 116508. Do you have a thread on it?

My first PM love. Had the previous but later updated for the 116508 with the new bezel. My favorite Daytona and best looking dial imo. Scratch magnet however. Also really liking this dial option on the Rolex rubber band.

Wave dials I think would be popular, maybe an olive one too.

Is it true that the dials on the DD2 and DD40 are the same size?

How about white or ivory stick dial? Is that too much to ask for?? The dials on the YG 228238 are ridiculously limited!

Agreed, white dial would look better with sticks. Romans just don't seem right to me on last years white dd40 dial.

Yeah, 3255 movement and ceramic insert bracelet update to the DD36 would be great! Or even a new case size DD38...

More stick dials, especially a simple black stick dial for the YG DD40.
