Platinum DayDate, which dial do you prefer?

Roman Numeral one exists but I'm interested in these two in particular.

brandrea · 5 August 2022, 10:02 PM

Between those two I’d take the baguettes.

If the other choice were the dark blue deconstructed romans, I’d go that route

Politiceaux · 5 August 2022, 10:09 PM

I’m a sucker for textured dials. I realize I’m in the minority, but that’s my choice out of these two.

samson66 · 5 August 2022, 10:11 PM

I don't expect this poll to be close at all, baguettes for the big win

travisb · 5 August 2022, 10:13 PM

Baguettes for the win.

MHB · 5 August 2022, 10:31 PM

Textured for me

ap1 · 5 August 2022, 10:40 PM

Sunburst n baguettes, fo sho

Trailboss516 · 5 August 2022, 11:11 PM

Textured dial works in some configurations, but I don't think this is one of them.

Sunburst and baguettes for this level of piece.

SubMillennial · 5 August 2022, 11:15 PM

to pay more than $60,000 for a watch and not get a little bit of tasteful ice seems completely mental

pepemaui · 5 August 2022, 11:21 PM

Ice on Ice..

I’m with you plus that watch dose not need baguettes… just straight beautiful watch

Diamonds just don’t do it for me. That’s for my wife. I love the stick dial. I have a 36mm ice Roman but the motif DD 40 is great.

CFR · 6 August 2022, 03:35 PM

Diagonal motif ("textured") for me after considering them both.

mojomomo · 6 August 2022, 11:25 PM

Textured dial, because the bigger baguettes at 6 and 9 bug me. If the baguettes were all the same size, then I'd go for that.

Bluside · 6 August 2022, 11:37 PM

Not a real fan of diamonds. However, this one looks very nice.

That being said, I'd still get the one with the textured dial.

Blanch · 7 August 2022, 12:01 AM

Sunburst Baguettes

Textured dial.

This watch is stealth wealth, the baguettes add too much bling

I have a YG DD40 with baguettes because to me it’s as bling as I’m willing to go and the baguettes work with the fluted bezel, but I’m waiting for the textured platinum Dd40 with smooth bezel as a more ‘low profile’ version. To the non-Rolex aficionado it could be mistaken as a steel dj, which I like.

My favorite would be lumed stick markers and hands and a plain vanilla or sunburst ice blue dial rather than the motif dial.

The motif dial reminds me of a cheap imitate of AP's tapisserie dials, albeit diagonal to be different. Also prefer Patek's striped Nautilus dials over the motif dial by far. So in principle I like structure on a dial, just not the Rolex motif kind.

Agreed....I would prefer the ice dial without the diamond baggettes, just the index sticks.

Perilo · 7 August 2022, 04:01 AM

I am partial to this dial…

this is interesting to me...
since the rest of the 2 watches are identical, it comes down to sunburst/baguette vs textured/lume plot. I'd love to know why you have such a strong preference, as mine runs the other way

Having never seen them up close I think maybe the diamonds just look a bit flat to me in pictures & thus don't really sway me.

ltmgeller · 7 August 2022, 04:37 AM

I prefer the textured dial

dannyp · 7 August 2022, 05:08 AM

Between those, the textured. But I like the Romans. Not because I’m partial to Romans but the geometric look to the DD40 Romans is just so interesting.

KY.. · 7 August 2022, 05:10 AM

Baguettes and Dogs are mans best friend…

wetsum3 · 7 August 2022, 07:07 AM

I would locate an ice dial with Romans. Agree that the structure of the Roman’s on the dial is super cool.

HogwldFLTR · 7 August 2022, 07:23 AM

The diamond dial is really a thing of pure beauty!
