Opinions (and experiences) on the 228206?
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 ...
somehow this one touches me more than the Platona (which is on order)
both being in the same range
I declined on the everose GMT
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
just checked
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
I actually started to like the diamond markers when trying it
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.
Why some of the ice blue dial is colder than some?
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.. 🤔
Considering you're asking us about it, implies you don't like it enough and you need us to push you over the edge...
Walk away from this piece. It doesn't seem you like it enough!
The perfect and understated one
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...
Thank you all for your valuable insights - so I just purchased it
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 ;-)
Great watch! Is the motif dial also an option?
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...
you don't have to surrender the dial if it is with diamonds
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
Congratulations on a beautiful watch! Having...
the additional dial to change will be nice. That is one heavy watch!
despite the weight it is a very balanced watch
and a nice one you got as well with rose gold!
Actually I was looking for a different ice blue dial but this one is amazing indeed.
It's four grand more but worth it imho
Congratulations
This is one of my two dream watches. Excellent choice, the ice blue DD is simply stunning while usable for everyday wear too.
Thank you very much!
curios as I am: what is the other dream watch - hope it becomes true soon in either choice!
Thank you for your kind wishes, dear Penfriend
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.
