Help me decide....day date 40

Thinking about the rose gold dd40 with the chocolate diagonal motif dial. Anyone have any pics or thoughts first hand on this one? I like the look of the sundust dial, but prefer the added texture of the motif. Just wondering if the chocolate is too close in color to the PM color itself and not have enough contrast. I haven’t seen one in the flesh yet.

Might want to do a search on YouTube also to see the watch in motion

I think it's a gorgeous watch.

Rolex Everose really looks different depending on the light conditions. I held the Sundust dial version and was shocked how light the RG looked, in different light it looked a lot darker. Magical stuff. Along with the dial, colors change so much it is almost as you have different watches depending on lighting conditions.

It’s a beautiful watch. I’ve found that skin tone affects how good a Rose gold watch looks on the wrist. Some people wear yellow gold better and others wear stainless steel/WG better. Rose gold can kind of go either way. I suggest trying one on.

I have the chocolate Roman and it blends well

It is a spot on match with the case color

The chocolate motif is awesome!!!

Go see it in real life. It will dance with the light due to the pattern.

I tried on the diamond bezel RG DD 36 with brown dial. It was spectacular for $52k but for me the RG doesn’t look great with my skin tone. YG has way more pop and contrast w my darker skin.
