Would you wear a Platinum DD II as your daily wear watch?
 
I know is one of the most expensive Rolexes out there, but even if it is that expensive, it still looks less flashy than a Gold DD. Would you wear it all day long as your daily watch 365 days of the year? I think dressing style will not be a problem, and I am talking about a regular Platinum DD II with no dimonds.

No, I wouldn't. :read: And even if I could afford one, I would rather have a few SS Rollies up my wrist!! :chuckle::chuckle:

frostie 12 November 2008 09:37 AM

It is a watch it is meant to be worn so i would wear it

James T 12 November 2008 09:38 AM

if i can afford to buy one....lol

Yume-sama 12 November 2008 09:42 AM

Of course. Why not? I wear my Platinum DD *every* day.

Even without diamonds it is a very classy, professional watch :chuckle:

WatchTimes 12 November 2008 09:43 AM

Depends on what type of daily dress I had.
If you are in a suit and tie or don't get your
hands dirty sure.....

Someday I hope to BUT I doubt I could really have
any watch as my 365 day a year watch.

My only hangup with the plat. dd is that you can only
get it with diamonds or the smooth bezel... For some reason
I have always pictured the the DD with the fluted bezel so
I may have to go WG when I can afford one..

I think exactly as you do. I would love to see the Platinum DD with fluted bezel. Add meteorite dial and roman numbers. That would be my grail Rolex.

SLS 12 November 2008 09:51 AM

Yes, without a doubt...if I spent that kind of money on a watch, I would enjoy the heck out of it!

I am all for the white gold or platinum for everyday wear
and the yellow gold for more formal occassions.

nethskie 12 November 2008 09:55 AM

No... since the service fee is very disappointing :lol:

Bisquitlips 12 November 2008 09:56 AM

It would be on my rotation definitely!

Someday!!!

cody p 12 November 2008 09:57 AM

if i had that kind of money to throw at a watch, it wouldn't be a rolex.

sea-dweller 12 November 2008 09:59 AM

No, I would not buy one in the first place.

herfdude 12 November 2008 10:08 AM

No, I definitely would not wear any Platinum watch as an everyday watch.........

shogan191 12 November 2008 10:08 AM

I don't understand the concept that gold, white, yellow, or pink, and platinum are for dress only. Why would you not wear it everyday if it was the only watch you owned?

golfball123 12 November 2008 10:13 AM

i would, that is, if i have one...

golfball123 12 November 2008 10:14 AM

furthermore i think i feel safer wearing a platinum rolex than a YG..

chicagowatchman 12 November 2008 10:23 AM

As for the DD II>>>>>I think if you don't wear a suit it would be ok....BUT i heard it is hard to wear with a dress shirt as it is way to thick:cheers:

It's a lot more durable than Gold. Wearing Gold as a daily wearer is asking for scratches!

Of course, I don't know how many of us do more than sit behind a desk and play Solitaire and answer the odd phone call... :joy::thinking:

CL65AMG 12 November 2008 10:49 AM

I'd love to give it shot!

I try not play Solitaire at work. It is Free Cell. :rofl: :twit:

chazha 12 November 2008 11:36 AM

I would wear it Day in and Day out.

DD Plat is definately my favourite watch!! Unfortunately I cannot afford it.

Ivy League 12 November 2008 11:57 AM

I wouldn't wear a DD, but I'd most certainly wear a platinum Gmt if they existed

:agree::thumbsup:

kenlperry 12 November 2008 12:05 PM

ABSOLUTELY!!! I would, without a doubt.. Most people don't even know the difference between stainless steel and platinum anyway.

bodybump 12 November 2008 02:38 PM

depends on the occasion...

Art 1 12 November 2008 09:07 PM

Sure, if I had one.

Mort 13 November 2008 12:06 AM

Sure, why not. For that kind of coin, I would not let it collect dust just for special occasions.

I wear my YG DD several days a week including on weekends with jeans and a polo.

Thomas 13 November 2008 01:51 AM

I see no reason not to
