New dial for DD40
By: penfriend : November 14th, 2021-18:55
So after 6 months of ownership I switched from the (originally built-in) baguette diamond dial to the more blueish and now discontinued four sector dial which I purchased together with the watch from my AD. Now it looks much more sporty than with the bagu...

3:1 sector dial
It’s great to have both; as it’s a tough choice.

I’ve seen the sector several times and I was never so sure about it; but your pictures here make me think again. That said, my vote is for the diamonds !
I like that current dial

In my opinion with that dial the watch goes better together with casual clothing. The baguette dial is more dressy and maybe not for daily wearing.
A tie for me

Amazing how these subtle changes transform the DD! And testament to Rolex for never screwing these things up. Imho the diamond dial is the more coherent, understated elegance. The Roman dial introduces a cool, casual flairand it is certainly less often se...
It doesn't look like the same watch! What a difference the dial makes.

Both look super. But if I had to choose just 1 (and didn't have the other to switch), I would go for the diamonds. It has that "DD look" that I am used to and love. (p.s. I am right now having trouble deciding which dial I would like for my own.)

Grail watch for me

I like the Roman numerals and I think it’s also the hands that make that version pop so much.
Thank you so much

keeps it a tense match at 6:5 diamonds
Shall I tell you the truth…
By: Mike H : November 27th, 2021-14:04
I (usually) don’t like baguette dials for men as I associate them to women’s watch. But on a DD and specially with the ice blue dial I have to say that I find it strong and powerful but also classy without being ostentatious or show off. On the other hand...
You are absolutely right
By: penfriend : November 27th, 2021-14:34
The diamonds fit so well with this dial and in this watch. I had the choice between the Platona with diamond markers or this one with diamond markers and actually before seeing the DD40 I was 100% sure to take the Platona. But this one is so much under th...

Both are awesome but the four section romans dial is my fav!
Thank you my friend

now a tie at 6:6 - seems Rolex is doing well in designing dials for every taste on a high level ;-)
