I don't own either watch but, for me, the choice is still easy. I'd pick the DD 40 WG Green Dial!

Maiden · 6 September 2016, 08:06 PM

Voted sub as I do not like the green dial. Any other dial and I would have voted DD

1William · 6 September 2016, 08:47 PM

I voted for the DD 40 with the green dial. With a Platinum Daytona it would be a great pair.

gossbeau · 6 September 2016, 09:30 PM

this one for me

DayDate green dial!

Danny83 · 7 September 2016, 12:03 AM

That geen looks great with the white gold

Royalex · 7 September 2016, 12:56 AM

DD all the way.

rmg007 · 7 September 2016, 01:37 AM

I like the green dial too, but will it grow old faster than a *traditional* champagne or silver dial?

sea-dweller · 7 September 2016, 01:47 AM

I voted Sub!

masyv6 · 7 September 2016, 02:32 AM

DD for me!

Lordofrolex · 7 September 2016, 02:35 AM

DD great dial. No question. Like many have said you already have a sporty watch might as well go a little dressed up.

daytonaTBR · 7 September 2016, 04:39 AM

Thanks for the replies and suggestions everyone! Still not decided yet, but some great pics posted. Interesting to note how the poll is neck and neck whereas the the comments seem to favor the DD.

I've been able to handle both these watches in person, albeit the Sub was a while ago, but something that I keep thinking about as well is the DD40 in PT with the motif ice blue dial as well! It's something that never crossed my mind in pics, but I was able to handle one a couple of days ago and it looked absolutely stunning.

It is even curiouser as almost no one here actually owns the green dial but we sure seem to like to talk about it...

Oh, you opened the door. Here you go

I'm just not a flute guy and I love the color and weight of PT

That looks amazing. And the smooth bezel does add a stealth factor to it

Pics on Friday after the FEDEX guy gets here.

I would own today my friend but watch is on back order here in US so I have to patiently wait. It is sooooo nice and that dial is amazing. Also they are keeping supply tighter on this one
so not a lot of them floating around from what I understand and have been told.

Great stuff guys, I've seen them as well and they look fantastic, looking forward to your incomings.

I saw the WG in Beverly Hills not too long ago. Give them a ring.
Personally I wouldn't get either one, I would get the Pt DayDate II or 40.
(I also have a Smurf, but it's moot once you have the Platona)
