I’ve owned a YG 36mm with the champagne dial, IMHO, you can’t go wrong with that combination. I now own a DD RG and I absolutely love it. I’m most likely to add to my small collection a DD YG 40mm champagne dial.

I would go for the classic champagne you just can't go wrong.
Here is my unpolished 18238 from 1991 - I've been offered good money for it but I don't think I would ever sell just because its such a classic. The 36mm is just perfect for my small wrist and the presidential bracelet is pretty much the most comfortable bracelet and is jewelry in itself. ![]() |

White dial would be my personal preference, but the green would stand out from your other pieces.

I had a champagne dial. I bought it because it’s the most original look on a dd, after a couple of years it started being a bit overwhelming. It didn’t blend well with most outfits and places I’d wear it to. I’d get white and not buy champagne again. But again I was only 23 and that’s what I felt. Depends on your age and lifestyle ….. take a good decision.

I’m 29 now and strongly suggest white dial for more casual and diverse use. You will enjoy it in way more places and settings without being flashy. Sunburst finish on champagne is too loud in my opinion.

I truly admire the champagne dial and think it's very iconic. However, had one years ago and found the gold hands difficult to see.

White dial #1, but if you can get the green sunburst without diamonds that would be fantastic as well.

In yellow gold white dial is sublime.

Champagne is too monochromatic for me.
I would go white romans with the yellow gold. The green is nice, but I'd almost rather have black if the green is that dark. I almost the rose gold to the yellow gold. Now, if you can get on board with white gold.....do the blue dial. |

I own a 36 DD champagne with diamond markers but actually prefer the white non diamond version.

Based on your choices I’d pick green. The champagne dial is monotone and the white leaves me cold.

![]() The green looks nice, but that would be my choice if I had a few DD and other PM watches. As the one and only, not go with the green.

Green is the most gorgeous and sought after, so you might have to wait for awhile.

Personally I would go with champagne, because its so iconic.
That said, if you like the bling and want a splash of color, you can try to find a nice 18038 or 18238 with the factory diamond vignette dial, in blue, brown or red. Although prime examples are pushing $25k today, so the value proposition is not as good as it once was. Here's mine: Unpolished 18038 from 1982. |

I'm a big fan of the white roman dial.

I’m with you on digging the smaller sizes. I picked up both 36mm Explorers and was hoping Rolex would release a yellow gold blue dial Day Date in 36mm.
Sadly they did not, but the new white face with sticks would be my choice. Good luck on your decision. No wrong answer here. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m curious how long that would take to get from an AD, too.
As far as looking “girly,” I always believed the man made the watch. A watch can’t make you cool or effeminate. |

I've owned two DDs, one white with Romans and one Champagne with sticks; neither has stuck. I think that I'd go with the green with diamonds as it's unique enough to stand out from the herd. I also believe I'd prefer the 40 mm version but so far, I've not really sampled one.
