Hardly see this dial?? And by the way looks very sharp in person. Any opinions?

Haven't seen this config myself, though I'm sure it's all class. Personally, sunburst or bust. Champagne preferably.

Just got this beauty last week. The black dial pops more against the yellow gold!

THC · 24 July 2018, 08:45 AM

What a beauty... my grail

Andrew NYC · 24 July 2018, 08:53 AM

While I agree the DD40 is a winner I chose a similar style in 36mm. Love the contrast of the black and gold.

In my humble opinion is by far the best looking Day Date Rolex has and I tried them all before ordering this one. Here is mine.

That’s it!! Beautiful watch! I’m just surprised we don’t see more of these around.

Beautiful. And probably the easiest dial to read.

strettyend · 24 July 2018, 10:45 AM

The contrast of black on gold looks fantastic

FriscoSalvi · 24 July 2018, 10:56 AM

Nicest YG DD40 for sure

3581512 · 24 July 2018, 10:59 AM

A black dial on YG looks great. I wish Rolex made the black dial with the deconstructed roman numerals

horonet17 · 24 July 2018, 11:33 AM

Black on gold is always incredible. This particular combo is one of my favorites for the DD40.

36mm on a Bark Bracelet.. A man after my own heart.

Boaters · 24 July 2018, 01:02 PM

Very nice!

LazySumday · 24 July 2018, 03:25 PM

36mm, no markings. I love the contrast.

This would be one of my fav combos for the DD40 as well.

The DD40 with the black dial is simply beautiful.

rolexgiants · 24 July 2018, 09:26 PM

Love this combo!! But... still trying to figure out if the black dial makes the watch more sporty or dressy??

Flex368 · 24 July 2018, 09:30 PM

Sporty IMO. A YG DD with champagne dial or diamonds is dressy.

Interesting. Do u Think the black motif is more sporty than the silver motif?

My opinion is that the black is dressier.

I think the silver is more sporty than the black.

As a big fan of sporty watches for a DD I´d still pick the black one over the silver one.

T01 · 25 July 2018, 05:12 AM

I personally prefer white or champagne, however the black is certainly a nice contrast and far more unique than the previously mentioned options.

I have to go back to the AD and see how readable and clear the silver motif dial is. I know the black dial will NEVER fail my eyes! LOL.

GeeRam · 25 July 2018, 05:59 AM

YG DD with black batten dial is my favourite as well, can't beat it, so classy IMHO.

Although, if in a position to buy one, I'd possibly go for the white dial now due to ageing eyesight.
