Hello guys, my AD offert me 2 NOS datographs. Number one is the reference 403.035, the platinium version, and the second is the pink gold version with black dial, the so called Dufourograph, reference 403.031, which was only producd a few years. Both are ... 

because both are heavy especially the platinum model. You may not notice it when trying it at your AD but try putting it on 8 hours daily, and you might understand my qualm with the datograph.

Personally, I like the look of pink gold with the black dial. I would of course take either if I could afford it. Let us know which one you choose and post some wrist shots!

Good for you....I'll take both

You cannot go wrong with either one. If it were between the YG (yellow jacket) and RG, I think I would choose the YG model since I believe they made less of them. The RG/black dial has become a bit more difficult to get as of late if that matters to you. ... 

I went with the Pt version as I like white metal and don’t mind the weight but I am used to wearing bulkier and heavier pieces. I also want to stray away from a black strap as well so I the black dial white case would lend itself to a more range of colors... 

Based purely on aesthetics I’d go RG/Black dial. Personally, for practical reasons, when I was buying mine I chose the Platinum. I can’t, don’t want to, wear a colour gold watch on a regular basis.

Just pic the one that speaks the most to you

I don't think yg is very wearable. It can't be dressed down nearly as easily as something like platinum/wg/ss

...  

But the Pt should be more versatile and as long as the weight doesn’t bother you... go for it!!!

As my AD is 80 miles away, I currently can´t test the look and feel with regard to the different weights. Reading your posts I "see" that the weight is not to underestimated. I saw that PT has a specific weight of 20, RG of 15 which is quit a big differen... 

..today my AD told me, that in the meanwhile he has sold both watches to another collector. Since both watches would only have been a compromise anyway, (PT probably too heavy, PG too colored) it is not a problem for me. Thanks to all of you for your thou... 

If you revisit these models later, please do reconsider the platinum. Many, many people actually prefer the weight and don't find it uncomfortable at all. You may find that after 2 minutes on your wrist, you don't notice the weight. Best of luck when you ... 

He first buyed the Dufourograph and hours later he called my AD and told him, that he also takes the PT. A lucky guy. Cheers, Mike
