Rolex

just picked this up yesterday. not completely in love but i had the itch for a YG daydate::: ))) the dial will have to go, either for the champagne with baton markers or for the diagonal motive. very well made watch, great bracelet (simply the best), feel...  

that was part of the deal with the AD

anc nice shots, I have tried one on and I have to say this one with the champagne dial is much cooler than the platinum one (on my wrist at least)...only I know I could never afford it ahah cheers Flavio

I am not usually a fan of YG watches (esp with full bracelet) but it just works so well on the day/date. Congrats on this heavyweight!

You will get an extra bounce in your step and smile on your face if you wear it with a pair of jeans and nice shirt and enjoy a drink with friends. Enjoy Bill

it is a great watch, no doubt. i bought it as an almost (daily) wearer since my patek 5711R scratches like crazy. can't take it on a trip, lug it around in airplanes and all that.i hope the DD does better .....

I am told Rolex policy is not to change a dial until the watch needs a full service. When they do change the dial you will get and be charged for a full service. I just inquired on this with Rolex.

What do you not like about the Romans. Is it the lack of any lume?

i find it hard to read, very little contrast between the dial and the hands. i shall get it changed next week (rolex policy or not, the AD will do it). which one should i get? champagne stickers with lume or silver diagonal?

Have you thought about the olive dial? Or are the hour markers of the olive dial only available in WG and RG?

not on YG:: ((

after four days with the watch i get to really really like it. the robustness is great fun indeed -no scratch yet although i have not been really careful. the day date is and feels like an elegant tool-watch set in liquid gold. shiny and bling? yes but in...

Beautiful piece, but why purchase a 35,000.00 watch that you don't love? Seems somewhat odd, if you don't mind me saying... Jeff

well, i just lusted for the gold piece:: ))) it is a bit different from loving the watch, as a piece of horology. maybe i should have said: i always loved the jewelry content of the DD40. anyway, now i do really like it a lot and appreciate it as a great ... 

Always been one of my favorite watches and I'm considering one myself. Now I need to find a buyer for my VC Overseas 35mm, yellow gold white dial. PERFECT! Thanx for your response, i always appreciate other peoples perspective.

What’s not to love. It’s an awesome watch. Wear it in good health.

It’s been said men are like raccoons always drawn to shiny objects.... damn that explains a lot with this one just had to have it no explanation needed ...  

👍👍👍😊😊😊😊

Love it.

i have now worn the daydate 40 for about ten days. it is just perfect: useful info and strikingly beautiful when you look at it, otherwise you just forget it is there. with my pateks i always try to be careful not to bump and scratch them (they do scratch... 

I found that my Rolex SD4000 improved its accuracy over the first year. He movement seemed to settle int to a rhythm. Some may not agree but that was my experience. That watch is certainly a keeper. Please post more pics especially when you get the new di... 

maybe spice it up with a warm color?:: ))) ...  

looks good, but maybe not more readable than the silver-roman. not sure. and the lume does not work (yet). ...  

Looks great. Love the texture.

so which dial do you guys like better for the rolex daydate 40 YG? silver roman or silver motif? i am split, the motif brings a bit confusion in but it has lime for reading in the dark. otherwise legibility is not much different though.

But the roman dial is more beautiful in the end IMO (and normally I'm not the traditional type of guy).

very good description. i kind of concur.

i think i need to change over to the black motif dial, for readability reasons. i am just worried that the watch will totally change character....

Does anyone feel like Rolex puts their roman numerals upside down? Am I the only one that it bugs?

they don't put them upside down, they just rotate them along with the hour:: ))
