Long story short, earlier this year acquired a Rolex Sub ND from Mayors UTC Mall (thx Nick, great store, excellent salespeople). Truly an excellent daily beater, love it! Traded a Patek dealer Worldtime wall clock to Caeptown for an Everose Daytona on strap a few months later (thx Jonathan). Daytona

Long story short, earlier this year acquired a Rolex Sub ND from Mayors UTC Mall (thx Nick, great store, excellent salespeople). Truly an excellent daily beater, love it! Traded a Patek dealer Worldtime wall clock to Caeptown for an Everose Daytona on strap a few months later (thx Jonathan). Daytona fills the dress watch leather strap and racetrack audience desires. 

Since rose gold has been 'my thing' for many decades, filling out the proverbial Holy Trinity would be a DD40. Debated dials and after consulting with my far younger wife and her 15y/o daughter they both agreed the Everose with chocolate with diamonds was best for the Big Bling I was going for. Thanks to alikara (aka Shane) as he is a great TRF trusted seller and beat all other's pricing too!

Nice weight, yet not overly heavy on the wrist. Removing a few links, three to be exact, was easy due to having the right tool. The ceramic insert is pure genius! One of my fears was that the hands would not contrast enough against the chocolate dial. Rest assured, there is plenty of contrast even for old eyes like mine. Oh those diamonds! While photos always show them as clear/white, in the light if you move your wrist a tiny bit you see a bit of rainbow effect of colors, as the light prisms through the diamonds. Wow! Can't get over how very comfortable the DD40 is on my wrist. 

Steven, stop looking at your wrist, you need to finish this write-up. 

I, I, I can't stop looking at my wrist!

In fact I just read this on another forum The diamond markers are superb....subtle but classy. I also love rose gold....hence my Yacht Master....so it ticks all the boxes for me. Wear it in the best of health....it's a beauty. Andy.

Going outside to see the diamonds prism the light is Can only imagine what it does under those fancy showroom lights. She is sooo comfy to wear, don't want to take her off and put back on the daily beater ceramic Sub ND(!).

Do you have a pic of the diamonds at a lower angle to see how high they sit to get an idea of how the light would shine through them..? If that makes sense. I'm actually a fan of diamond markers as it's the only chance us men get to wear them..!! When they are as subtle as this, like the new Patek 40th pieces, all the better in my book. I would actually love a Sub with diamond markers despite everybody saying it is a tool watch. Andy.

Top center 'tips' of the diamonds look to be about the same height to perhaps a bit higher than the hour hand. My guess is the top tips / center of the diamonds are a little more than the height of lume version. Will visit AD this week / weekend and do a comparo and report back if that helps. Overall, they are very balanced visually to the remainder of the hands / dial surface. Here's a closeup pic, hope this helps. An even larger version of the below is at tinyurl.com s

Sounds like they sit well to catch the light. I think it will be a while till you get back to your Sub ND....I will have to get mine back out too. Enjoy the new toy Andy.

Yes, they catch the light very well. Zero complaints there.
