Which one platinum day date 40 with olive green dial or yellow gold dd 40

huncho · 25 April 2019, 10:16 AM

platinum dd for me has to have the ice blue dial (unless you meant rg olive here?), so with that said - yg for me

Chary · 25 April 2019, 10:18 AM

I say yellow gold all day

Navarino · 25 April 2019, 10:20 AM

YG in 36 (a classic) and RG in 40 with the olive dial. I know there is a ton of love for the platinum, but I would want a fluted bezel on a DD.

Monte Cristo · 25 April 2019, 10:21 AM

YG for me.

YG is instantly recognisable (which can de a drawback too).
Platinum tends to fly under the radar.

rmlovett1 · 25 April 2019, 10:25 AM

If I’m looking for a DD40 and/or a platinum piece....if buying a platinum piece, I’d choose Daytona, although the PT DD is beautiful! I like a fluted bezel on a DD, and go YG first for that model.

Kiddodoc · 25 April 2019, 10:31 AM

Platinum without a fluted bezel is a deal killer for me. YG would be my choice.

Tavi · 25 April 2019, 10:35 AM

I just got the itch for a DD as well, started looking at WG but now settling on YG as well. It’s a classic! Will definitely be an addition to current collection, may even start with a 36 model to see what all the fuss is about.

Tough call. The YG is classic but the platinum is hard to resist. Oh ya, and then there’s the price difference

Fat_ninja · 25 April 2019, 10:41 AM

YG always for DD40

BNA/LION · 25 April 2019, 11:33 AM

YG first & then a Platinum...

Hard_Six · 25 April 2019, 11:51 AM

On the Daydates I prefer WG the best. Followed closely by RG. Since WG wasn't a choice, I'll say RG all the way!

I like platinum too but I just can't stand smooth bezels on DD's. I much prefer fluted

Newrolex1234 · 25 April 2019, 11:53 AM

Yellow gold is always classy

They can’t do a fluted bezel with plt correct?

Correct.

My bad, I read it as they don't instead of they can't. They could, but don't since it differentiates it from the fluted WG.

peterpl · 25 April 2019, 12:03 PM

My personal opinion is that anyone's first DD should be a YG DD period.

RG and Plat can come as a second piece.

yeah thats what i initially thought but then saw rose gold in the poll

so i stand by my comment then. not too much of a fan of the olive plat dd40, so would go with yg here

CHOSEN1 · 25 April 2019, 12:07 PM

Does anyone think gold is too brittle and gets scratched up easy. But then again platinum get patina too.

dkg1616 · 25 April 2019, 12:14 PM

I voted platinum but I personally would go white gold olive dial

Take a look at the crown and ask yourself that question again.

Gold is ductile and malleable... definitely not brittle.

Very good point. An ad once told me that they couldn’t flute the bezel Bc of how plat acts and it didn’t sound correct

First rule of Rolex collecting - The AD is always wrong.
Second rule - See #1.
Third rule - Platinum is always the right answer.

hectorlopez · 25 April 2019, 01:49 PM

1 Yellow with black dial, and 1 Platinum with ice blue stick dial. Both in 40mm. These two are amazing pieces, and the most comfortable modern rolexes that I have worn.

Newrolex1234 · 25 April 2019, 01:51 PM

Yellow all day, the classic Rolex.

Bigblu10 · 25 April 2019, 01:57 PM

Are you sure the Platinum DD is available with olive green dial? Because as I understand all the dials are in some configuration with the ice blue color.
Myself would either go YG or WG strictly because the fluted bezel is beautiful and classic.
