Help me decide - DD

Recommended Posts

taukappaepsilon

Which DD do you like the best? Which is the most durable? Probably will be my everyday watch at work but won't be worn casually. Which is closest to gen?

I really like all three. I'm worried the YG one will fade since I'm not sure how good the gold plating is. The SS with white face I really like but I've never seen the gen version so I'm thinking this might be a fantasy. And the "platinum" looks great and I don't have any concerns.

 

What do you all think?

SS all the way if you're going to be wearing it daily. The gold plated ones will eventually show signs of wear.

I always laugh when the cashier at McDonalds is wearing a gold Rollie.

The blue dial is a stunner. It looks even better in person.

I think I'm going to go for this one (however still not 100% sure). Ill be buying on Thursday or Friday so I can decide. Can you PM and tell me who you got this from and how much? My TD said $189 for Asian 2836. Sounds like a great deal to me.

TD says this is this the best DDII. What do you all think about it? Would you rather this one or the "platinum" with ice blue dial?

Not a big fan of this watch, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with the second blue one.

 

The dial and bezel look the best; the fluted bezels on the other two scream "1970's".

For what it's worth: Rick from pawn stars claims rolex doesn't make a DD in SS. Said its a common fake

Whether he is right or not...

SS for sure... And yes, they only come in gold, but who's going to ask if its white gold? Besides SS is more durable!
