Hello TRF!

Want to purchase my first solid gold watch. Wanted everyone’s opinion on DD40 White Roman or GMT & why. Thanks in advance!

ap1 · 10 June 2023, 10:39 PM

Dd as it’s THE Rolex gold watch

arcampado · 10 June 2023, 10:41 PM

First solid gold Rolex should be a DD imo but get which one you like best

4 Aussies · 10 June 2023, 10:43 PM

My first Rolex was a Day-Date, you should get the one that you prefer.

watchwatcher · 10 June 2023, 10:47 PM

I would go DD. However, in WG, it might be a different story.

aftereffector · 10 June 2023, 10:55 PM

What do you have and what do you like to wear? Your profile says you have a GMT already, so that alone would make me think Day-Date. Conversely if you love the more sport-casual look of the GMT, adding a PM reference to your (presumably) steel could work well.

I voted Day-Date because that’s what I like better, but it’s not my money :)

codecow · 10 June 2023, 10:57 PM

I bought a GMT first and then the DD.

Calatrava r · 10 June 2023, 11:14 PM

DD is the classic PM.

RoRoRo · 10 June 2023, 11:23 PM

Start with the day date and work from there.

Personally I’d get the all gold variant of a watch that is only available in gold. And flirt with the other models on different metals.

I’d do dd40 gold, gmt chnr, ym40 slate and Daytona white dial.

Variation of wearability, complications, metals and bezels.

Majin Buu · 10 June 2023, 11:26 PM

The DayDate with president band is, to me, the
one to get !

aczaja10 · 10 June 2023, 11:37 PM

I’m of the opinion that you go Day Date for your first PM and then your second PM can be a sports model. That’s my plan, at least. Lol!

Personally, I love the RG olive dial Day Date and the gold submariner with a black dial and bezel. That’s my favorite 1-2 punch.

White gold GMT meteorite dial

Day Date

JRell · 10 June 2023, 11:58 PM

I like sports models better, but in this case DD and not even close.

mykii · 11 June 2023, 12:00 AM

One is a classic and one is a fad. Go with the DD.

Benzsiam · 11 June 2023, 12:17 AM

I love PM timepieces, they look gorgeous and very classy.

Go with the one that sings to you the most, if it will be only one PM Rolex, I think Day-Date would be the one to go for.

Jack T · 11 June 2023, 12:18 AM

This is a nice watch…and only those who know would know.

Mldrake · 11 June 2023, 12:21 AM

I voted DD. Versatile. Comfy. And in current production

Blanch · 11 June 2023, 01:08 AM

Solid gold Rolex = Day-Date!

WatchTimes · 11 June 2023, 01:08 AM

DD

sunnygps · 11 June 2023, 05:01 AM

I am not a fan of full gold sports models. I voted for the DD40.

1William · 11 June 2023, 05:01 AM

A Submariner with the Glidelock clasp. The DD is cool but no adjustability other than adding or removing links.

Bazil · 11 June 2023, 06:58 AM

RG GMT - why ? Because it’s gorgeous ..

Kiddodoc · 11 June 2023, 09:17 AM

DD for sure!

Jawnz · 11 June 2023, 09:26 AM

They are so different, not just price but if you had to have one I guess the DD.

rmlovett1 · 11 June 2023, 09:41 AM

I’d go DD

Potawatomi · 11 June 2023, 12:02 PM

DD for sure. I think the Solid Griner is going to be the new Miami watch. Maybe that's what you're going for with the solid gold watch. I have the CHNR as my all gold watch and that's an incredible watch.

Daytonaman799 · 11 June 2023, 12:37 PM

I love the GMT. I am a big DD fan but I lean to the platinum.
