18kt White Gold Rolex President
Blue Diamond Dial & Diamond Bezel

or

Rolex PLATINUM President Day/Date

with an original RHODIUM DIAMOND dial, newest 'heavy' President bracelet

this looks really nice. i showed it to my dad, and he agreed. haha, now i gotta convince him to buy, wear, and pass it down to me.

I vote for 36 mm YG Roman with Ivory Pyramid Dial.

It seems like most men prefer no diamond bezel. Is the reason because it makes the watch too fancy and you can can't wear it casually or does it look to feminine?

All of the above.

I wear a YG DD now with a black stick dial. No diamonds. It works in casual and dress settings. I don't even like diamonds on the dial, but I could live with those.

I dont know, I think a diamond bezel gives the watch a "liberace" flair, that I would not care to project.

Given the choices, I would go with the platinum. Very nice watch.

I honestly think jewels on a watch make it look too gaudy. For me, the classic Rolex stick dial is perfecto mundo.

I would go for the platinum.

Here's my advice: buy the one you like. It's your money. If you like diamonds, then get them. You're the one who will wear the watch, not us. Only you know which one of the two mentioned best suits you, your skin tone, your job, your lifestyle and your taste.

Mirx · 4 January 2011, 05:36 AM

Platinum DD for me.

Diamonds on a man's watch-very Elton.

If you want bling......... wear a diamond ring, IMO.

Gerardus · 4 January 2011, 04:01 AM

I vote for mine (double quick) that I bought a week ago.

Sweramic · 4 January 2011, 04:02 AM

Platinum, no doubt

thebanker · 4 January 2011, 04:05 AM

Thanks for all the replies. Now I just have to convince my wife that I deserve it!

First: Congrats on your 40th birthday!

My personal favourites are the plain bezel DDs on Oyster bracelet, and with white stick dial. So, of the two I'd pick the platinum. Also, I am not that much into diamonds.

Further on, I would go 36 mm rather than the new DDII.

Good luck, and let us know what you go for!

Best,

A

I can't remember whose picture this is......but it is someone here on this forum. IMHO, this is the most SPECTACULAR President model......

Very nice! one of my favorite Rolex watches

hhh007 · 4 January 2011, 04:58 AM

Either Platinum or 18 YG with no diamonds would be my choice.

Polemic · 4 January 2011, 05:03 AM

Diamonds are for women, they look disgusting on a man's watch.

Buy any Day Date without diamonds.
