I'd also chose the Day Date. I try to be practical when it comes to my choices and while I have some redundancy in my collection (several Submariners), I think adding a Day Date makes the most sense. You lack a dressier watch and already have a GMT complication.
I am of the opinion that you should always add a precious metal Day Date or dress watch from another brand before adding a precious metal sports watch. That's just me. I completely agree that the RG CHNR is probably the best precious metal sports watch Rolex makes. To that end, I would also echo others here who have recommended getting something other than WG in the Day Date. That said, if you're thinking about adding a blue dial, the white goal Day Date would be the way to go. |

I want to say rootbeer but you need a day date more than a gmt. How about a rose gold dd?

Given your options: DD, 100x out of 100. You could also combine your two ideas & get a RG DD...

Really nice trio to start with. Add a DD40, but do yellow or rose gold for variety. Then add an Explorer II as a wonderful “beater” (don’t know if that’s appropriately named, but you get what I mean by it). Perfect 5 watch collection.

You have a nice SS collection. Lots of nice colors. Why not a yellow gold DD? I feel like the YG DD is the DD.
With your collection I would also consider adding an Oysterflex Daytona. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Rootbeer. The white gold is too similar to your stainless versions, and if spending that kind of money, I feel it should really stand out!

Given what you already have, a WG Day Date gets my vote.
For me personally, full YG or RG are too much. I like them when I see them on others but when I try them on my own wrist, I don't like them. |

DD in whatever metal you may choose, but I do love it in WG.
If you don’t require new from AD, you could choose from an amazing variety of dials (these are from an auction last week). . |

Tragically, those aren’t mine - They’re 1/3 of a huge collection that sold for $2M at auction lest week. There’s a thread about it with a link to them here -
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=965868 But if you want to see some of the variety, a start would be to search 18239 or 118239 for WG, 18238 or 118238 for YG. |
