I pestered a friend for a number of years for the same ref.

He gave in and sold me his around 3 years ago. As you say, it's perfect for those with slightly smaller wrists. Absolutely love the mass of it, and it's fairly versatile. Puts a smile on my face every time I wear it, which is quite often. Mine says hi! It's a 'K' serial and languished in the dealers case for 7 years before my friend purchased it!

Rolex π Day-Date 118206 - Review after 7 years π
By: christianch : March 21st, 2022-22:14
It has been 7 years since I welcomed this amazing Rolex Day-Date 118206. This was a big purchase for me but the πΈ is temporary and the π stays a long time. I initally bought it with the diamonds dial but, to change it and tone it down, in 2019 I changed t...
A great piece!

Thanks for sharing! I really like how Rolex did a great job on the diamond dial with the emerald cut 6 and 9 o'clock markers.
I meant the emerald cut!

The 6 and 9 are rectangular emerald cut (instead of round brilliant cut). Change it back! Change it back! It's such a nice watch!
You can't go wrong!

I like the roman numerals too. And I only like the diamond dial with the large 6 and 9 rectangular cut diamonds. There are some diamond dials with all round brilliant diamonds, and I don't like those as much. In such a case, I'd prefer the roman numerals!...
I can imagine

I enjoy your posts very muchβ¦

Based on your post and that you also own (still?) an Omega how do you characterize the two brands to yourself? Similarities? Differences? What do the brands represent to you?
I still own several Omegas :) my latest is a speedmaster in yellow gold

very different I would say. Omega is (or used to be, after I tried their aqua terra titanium at 50K!) less pretentious. Most of the Omegas I own are speedmasters manual wind. This makes them limited to air and not water so different for sure than Rolex in...
is totally worth the reputation of the ultimate Rolex

for me a bit of a close tie with the WG submariner. These were very expensive in the previous watch context. Now that I steel sport watch is 20-30K all in the Rolex catalogue seems a bargain
Same sentiments as you have

Last year I purchased the DD40 PT with the ice blue baguette dial and ordered a blue roman dial as well for dial swap when feeling like it. After only one year I would also say that this is a perfect watch for all occasions, love the heft and that it is t...
gorgeous DD 40 π glad I am not the only one that changed..
By: christianch : March 22nd, 2022-20:14
the dial (or rather added a new one). The diamonds one are fantastic, but the roman is somehow more everyday, more toned-down and very nice. Thanks for sharing the pics of the roman and the diamond dial of the 40!
thank you!

And good write up. Great choice too to change the dial as you have. Much nicer imho.
