Day Date Dark Grey Dial

[Wingslogo]

Passed on this one in December and it’s back available; dark grey dial, diamonds, 36mm day date.

For any current owners; have you been satisfied with the dial? (This isn’t the age old question of 36 vs 40)

I really like the watch just trying to decide on this dial or a more common black or champagne.

The fact it’s been on the sales floor tells me it’s not the most sought after but I really do think I like it. Any wrist shots from anyone?

Great looking watch and one you do not see very often. It looks very nice on your wrist and could be a great addition to any collection. The fact you do not see it or it has been around a bit goes to the unique quality of the watch. You will stand out with a DD no matter what the dial but why not have one that is special and this one qualifies. If you should get tired of the dial in a few years you can source an OEM dial and have it swapped out and keep the original so you have options. I have done this several times with the DD's I have owned over the years. If the funds are available I would buy this watch and enjoy it. Let us know what you decide.

Great Advice! I really appreciate it!

Looks great, and 36mm looks perfect on your wrist.

Showroom floors don't usually do a good job of highlighting the dial as there aren't great opportunities to show what natural light does to the dial.

In my opinion it is a great choice.

Doesn’t suit my taste at all.
But it’s not my opinion that matters.

i think that dial works best with rose gold. i have the same watch but with the champagne dial because i preferred the classic look

though it does look nice on the website, hopefully someone here has some photos in natural lighting

I tend to agree with this. The YG pairs better with white/silver/champagne/black dials.

Rose gold seems to pair better with green/brown/grey dials.

Of course this all a matter of personal opinion so…

The watch looks great on your wrist though. The 36 is the way to go.

Good Looking Watch

Stunning watch! Looks perfect on you.

Are they talking discounts yet?

On this watch I would prefer all small banquette(?) diamonds.

It really looks great on you !
I'm also looking for a YG 36 DD, and while at first I was only looking for a champagne dial, the more I see that grey dial the more I find it interesting.
I'm pretty sure to have seen another member here who bought the exact same watch and it looked great.

I agree with Kenny G, usually grey pairs better with rose gold (it's a killer combo) but I still find it pretty with YG.

While coming back from vacation few days ago I noticed a guy at the airport lounge who wore a YG DD with what seemed to be a grey dial (not sure of that, as I had a quick glance only and I was leaving the lounge to catch my flight when he came in). I instantely felt that it gave much more contrast to the watch (compared to a champagne dial) and loved the style.

As I'm looking for a classic style I think I will still prefer to go with the champagne dial, but in all honesty if I'd be able to try it and like it on wrist I will buy it without hesitation, you can't go wrong with that one.

It’s beautiful.

[Smittyswatches]

Doesn’t go with the gold imo. I would pass for sure.

Think dark grey goes better with WG or PT

I’m just shocked that any Rolex is in the case again.
