It would depend on my purpose for the piece. To me the DD is much more dressy, and would be used in that environment. The Daytona, while in PM, is the more sporty option.

My lifestyle does not support either, so none of these for me.

If that DD was 36, I’d take it but since it’s not, listen to your username.

The 36 green ombré is my fav DD.

I've always gone by the attitude of never settling, and the reverse dial just didn't sing to me. I told them I'll probably be remembered as the only guy to ever turn down a Daytona. Remains to be seen what the future holds.

Tough choice. Really can’t go wrong either way. I keep swinging back and forth on the response like a metronome. Lol

This is a tough one. For someone else to wear, the DD. But I can't pull off a full yellow gold Rolex, so it'll be the Daytona for me!
