First Day Date from AD - would love opinions!!

[Trailboss516]

YG 36mm is the correct choice here.

That 36mm would be the DD I would pick if I was getting one. Classic metal and size.

Sounds like you’ve already made a decision. You can’t go wrong with the YG/white dial and if it fits well and you like the colour combo, go for it.

I would not buy a WG reference. A day-date should be flashy imo. If not, spend less and just get a Datejust.

Between the two pictured, I would choose the 40. But as everyone here has said, make sure you try them on and see what looks good on you bc you’re the one that will be looking at it everyday. Also, great advice given to choose the metal and dial that are your #1 choices.

YG 36. Classic.

I agree that WG model really has no pop. I would grab the 36mm, it really glows and is a joy to wear.

WG 40 vs YG 36

Picking one of them up tomorrow. I really like the size of the 36 better and the color combo but worry it’s going to be too flashy.

In 1983 I bought a 36 mm DD, very similar to the white dial you have here. It was the grail watch of my life but was unfortunately destroyed when I wrecked my Harley softtail in 1986. The 36 was an amazingly comfortable watch to wear in spite of its weight.

So, OP, what did you end up getting!?

Yeah, I noticed that too.

As far as the OP, I'd wait for 40 in yellow gold.

Things change, but if one sticks around long enough, you end up buying all of them over time.

At least in my experience.

You shouldn't have to ask us which watch you want. Someone told me a long time ago a watch should sing to you. if its not clear to you which one os the right one, neither is the right one!

[KatGirl]

YG 36, but would prefer deconstructed Romans, or sticks.

I went with 36 DD YG people says it’s small, lol I’m 6’1 290 and if it worked for a guy the size of Tony Soprano I think I’m good Lol

[JSCP]

36mm yellow gold

[Steerpike999]

I prefer the WG. so much nicer and simpler

[Jackie Daytona]

Personally I like the WG variant between those.

However you’ve already said you like basically everything about the 36 YG variant better. Just go for the one you like and I don’t think you’ll regret it. Just don’t overthink it.

This.

Smooth bezel more my style; feel the fluted is too fragile.

[MannyMann]

I definitely love the 36mm yellow gold, pick it up buddy it's a great choice.

Buy what you want, not what a bunch of strangers on the Internet tell you to do.

For me, yellow gold is too flashy, too dated and did I mention it's too flashy? The 40 seems to fit you well.
