I haven't seen this particular THIS (Platinum DD40) or THAT (Platona) POLL in a while (apologies if I missed it), so please cast your vote. Which do you prefer?

.
The Platinum DD40 dial is the one of your choice for the purpose of the poll.

Platona for the win!

toucan · 18 January 2018, 08:12 AM

Steve, I think you already know/knew the answer to this one.

A pic of each for good measure:

Cru Jones · 18 January 2018, 08:21 AM

Ideally both.... if only one, the DD (+ black Daytona SS ;-) ).

worldfamoussam · 18 January 2018, 08:25 AM

Absolutely the DD.

Chadridv · 18 January 2018, 08:42 AM

so close for me. If the DD came with a fluted bezel and some type of micro adjustment on the bracelet, it would be a no brainer. But it doesn't. So for those reasons... I'm out (Shark Tank shout out lol).

Abdullah71601 · 18 January 2018, 08:47 AM

DD for the win. Black diamond dial (228206).

goog53 · 18 January 2018, 08:49 AM

The choco bezel disqualifies the Tona and I love Daytonas

watchwatcher · 18 January 2018, 08:59 AM

Both incredible watches...true grails.

I voted for the DD because I love that motif stick dial in Stephen's pic and also prefer having the day and date.

But I would take a Platona if someone wants to send me one.

DD40 for the win no questions

Chiboy · 18 January 2018, 09:35 AM

If I had a 5170P, that might color my thinking.

HorologyK · 18 January 2018, 09:50 AM

Steel Daytona and Plat DD40

AboutTime · 18 January 2018, 09:54 AM

DD all the way for me! Just don't like brown on the Platona.

al503 · 18 January 2018, 10:03 AM

DD40, by far.

The Argonaut · 18 January 2018, 10:10 AM

DD easily. Next question.

RHIII · 18 January 2018, 10:21 AM

Trace voted Daytona??? That can’t be. Someone must have hacked his account.

For a watch that heavy, a perfect fit is a must and micro adjustments are important. My Platona fits more snug than my other watches, but it needs to because of the weight.

DoctorA · 18 January 2018, 10:33 AM

Platona for me
The complication, look and weight of this thing are mind blowing!!

77T · 18 January 2018, 10:38 AM

IIRC, I liked the Platona

Love 'em both, but the DD40 takes the trophy for me! Cheers!

sensui · 18 January 2018, 10:51 AM

Surprised so many vote for the day date...as much as I love the dial.....I just can't see past not having a fluted bezel...and I didn't even like fluted bezels before owning a day date...doesn't look right without one.

The 116506 is awesome in every way...weight, color scheme, contrast....all the talk about the brown...I wonder how many has judged after actually wearing it on the wrist. It is amazing and the modern Rolex for me.

Danny83 · 18 January 2018, 10:53 AM

Stay with the Platona Steve ...dont tell me you want to trade for the DD
