If the two watches still put a smile on your face then keep them , if not and you know the DD will then i would say let them go to another good home

Rolex Day Date question…
By: One day just one watch : August 2nd, 2021-12:21
Ever since I saw a yellowgold Rolex Day Date 36 mm with a white dial with Roman numerals for the first time over 30 years ago, it has become a sort of grail watch for me. Last September Rolex added the white dial with Roman numerals to their catalogue for...
That's a tough question

I recently purchased the blue dial YM and of course, prior to buying I went on a hunt online to read about it as much as I could. Across forums I saw a handful of people regret selling their YMs often saying it was their most comfortable watch and had som...
Thanks for your perspective!

And it is spot on what you say about the YM being very comfy on the wrist, especially compared to the GMT. And your suggestion of looking at pre owned I will surely take into consideration. So thank you very much!

How much did they offer for the GMT, I would figure you could easily sell it for 16-17k market price?

Your best option is selling it yourself but I would wait a little bit and see what the market does. I doubt it goes down. Perhaps contact known grey dealers if they can source you a new DD and see what's possible when you trade it in. Do they still discou...

Amazing what 5 years does to the market. Easy 5-8k discounts are completely gone on the DD.
Wooow, that really does confuse the situation!!!

But thanks for your reply, because i recognize regretting having sold some watches (thankfully not all). Now i have to figure out whether i will regret letting the opportunity to buy the DD go by…i think because the DD is not as hard to get it will be ok....

Why did you sell it if I may ask? 30 years is a long time.
Oeh, what you describe about attracting too much
By: One day just one watch : August 2nd, 2021-20:05
attention did it for me. That’s exactly one of my fears that will happen and spoil the fun of owning or even wearing a DD. Come to think of it, two years ago I almost got mugged wearing a GMT Pepsi in Amsterdam and that made me decide to change it for a Y...
Beautiful!!!!

And I have the same weak spot for white dials as well…
That’s exactly what happened today, when the

dealer was checking the Yachtmaster and saying it looked really nice I couldn’t help but agreeing with him that indeed that YM looks really nice (so why in the hell would I want to sell it😬) so the doubt started right there and then…
Can you see this DD in your everyday?
By: Jay (Eire) : August 2nd, 2021-18:51
It’s clear you’ve listed after it, so that’s the not the question. So I’m asking a more practical one, will you or can you wear it day to day? I’m assuming the YM and the GMT are easily worn in your daily situations. For me, as much as I loved the coloure...
Good question Jay and to be honest I don’t think
By: One day just one watch : August 2nd, 2021-19:32
I will wear the DD every day. Actually it is a watch that really makes you consider where you ‘can’ wear it and where not (certain neighbourhoods, occasions or in certain meetings with clients I could not see myself wearing it). It’s a watch that attracts...
Well that does it, no more DD on my list!
By: One day just one watch : August 4th, 2021-17:33
Like you said it turned from a used car dealers watch to a muggers target together with all the other responses has made me decide against buying the full yellowgold DD. I was hoping I could pull it off not looking like a used car dealer, with my grey hai...
