Which DD40?

I'm loving me some DD40! Really having a hard time deciding which one I like best though. What would everyone's pick be between these three?

1. Yellow Gold with Black Dial and Sticks
2. White Gold with Black Dial and Sticks
3. White Gold with Blue Dial and Romans

Help me out please!

Thanks

Sorry to confuse you. I think it is good to have diamond in PM model. My next purchase will be WG Black Dial with diamond (DD36).

I chose the WG with blue dial and Romans, but regretted that the blue often looked black. It only looks that lovely blue on the Rolex web site in very bright lighting conditions.

Very disappointed.

I prefer WG to YG but the black motif dial wins my vote against the other two. If you are open to other dials the green dial in WG is terrific.

I like the yellow gold with champagne dial and baguette sticks.

I know, that wasn’t an option. Out of your choices I’d probably go yellow gold with black dial.

YG DD is first. Between the WG models the blue dial is amazing.

I like the white gold and blue dial. How about sticks on blue?

I would choose the all gold if I also had a WG or Stainless. If this is your only Rolex than the stainless with the blue dial would be my choice.

I'm a bit surprised by the results. The WG and black to me is perfect.

A YG DD calls for a champagne dial but black is a nice choice especially this motif dial. The WG/blue is nice but a little sporty imo. For WG I would go with a silver dial. I like the RG with olive dial as well but it’s not as versatile as the others.

There are no SS Day-Dates and there never will be!!! It has always only been able in PM. While Rolex put out SS versions of the Sky-Dweller that is a really new watch and I guess the PM ones weren’t selling that well. The DD has been around since 1956.
