Rolex

Got this DD40 platinum offered by my AD yesterday - I have not really ever thought about it before but it appeals to me (even the dial). How do you think about it? Maybe there are some owners who are willing to share their experience. Thxs in advance ...  

heavy pricing as well btw

both being in the same range

because I just don't see me wearing it often / very flashy. the GMT meteorite is on order as well but I would probably hand it over to a good friend as the dial is not my liking

but you can't save too much with the gray market; in the best case five grand for this specific version with diamonds but several years of age, not stickers anymore so not sure whether unworn

good thing is that I can order a second more sporty dial (blue with quadrants is one I like) and keep this one - so I can change the character every now and then

Day date was my dream watch years ago. So sharp, and classy. If you don’t like it in a few months , sell or trade and move on. I’ve never regretted buying, I’ve regretted not buying plenty of times.

Love the dial, but the weight is a huge issue for me. I prefer the white gold as it is about half the weight.

In this case it is very cold.. ie very light blue.. Often I see on advertisements are much darker hue.. Mine looks almost sliver in most lighting.. 🤔

pls share a pic of yours

Walk away from this piece. It doesn't seem you like it enough!

I used to think the DD40 Romans... because they are quite original... but having seen them in person... I feel they make the dial shrink inward... anyway... how can you possibly argue with this? Unless the weight of it all... a thing you wear when 'in tha... 

Also took the blue roman sector dial for a swap whenever I feel like it. And a white steel Daytona will be a nice companion as well ;-)

Beautiful piece and one I am looking to get soon. Do you know - if it comes with the baguette index dial originally - are we able to order the motif (laser cross-hatch) dial from our AD without surrendering the baguette dial to Rolex? Also, does it depend... 

so you can order any other dial that has been dedicated to the watch - even another one with diamonds. And I suppose this is global policy but your AD will know

the additional dial to change will be nice. That is one heavy watch!

and a nice one you got as well with rose gold!

It's four grand more but worth it imho

This is one of my two dream watches. Excellent choice, the ice blue DD is simply stunning while usable for everyday wear too.

curios as I am: what is the other dream watch - hope it becomes true soon in either choice!

The other dream watch is the Patek Philippe 5159. But for any of these two I have to save a lot yet, if I manage to acquire any single of them some day, I will be more than happy.
