I'm having a huge issue choosing my next purchase. It is between two very specific watches and I already have the dial I like on either watch. I want to get some opinion on what you guys like more and why? Thank you!

HL65 · 1 April 2014, 12:10 AM

Like them both but such a personal thing. Go try them on and get a feel for them and make an educated decision. Everyone has different taste so of course opinions will vary. I can tell you owning both in platinum I love the one that is on my wrist at the time the most!

thomaspp · 1 April 2014, 12:13 AM

DDII! Get the daytona in SS.

globalmedia33 · 1 April 2014, 12:14 AM

Ddii

Gaijin · 1 April 2014, 12:14 AM

Day Date II.

anothernewphone · 1 April 2014, 12:15 AM

Like what Ken said, I would be in love with the watch that was on my wrist at the moment. I've really come around on the Daytona, and I would have to vote for that, seeing as how the DDII is just a little too big for me. Classic 36mm with the prez bracelet would be my choice.

Ampz · 1 April 2014, 12:17 AM

Thank you all. thomaspp really blew my mind with his answer as I think that's EXACTLY what I'm going to do. Get the daytona in SS and get the ddii in rose gold

Slider817 · 1 April 2014, 12:19 AM

I really like them both.

But, I would have a hard time paying the premium of the Day-Date II over a very nice 36mm Day-Date President. you can find a very nice example for well under $10K on the used market.

I really like slim , comfortable and easy to wear watches, and I think the Daytona is that. So, I would go Gold Daytona, but I would also consider Pre-Owned Gold Daytona on a strap + a 36mm President instead of either, and you get two great watches for about the same price as one of those.

Just something to consider, but as always buy what you love and connect to, logic shouldn't play too much a role.

Ampz · 1 April 2014, 12:22 AM

I'm really partial to 40-41mm over 36mm Slider. That being said I can just get the ddii and in a couple of months grab the daytona in SS. I do value you're opinion though it makes a lot of sense. If I could deal with a 36mm you make a very good point on why going that route would be a good idea.

Perfect answer!

tkerrmd · 1 April 2014, 02:16 AM

Well gotta admit I am a sport watch guy and these are two very different watches

I would get the RG Daytona

Widows Son · 1 April 2014, 03:03 AM

They're two completely different watches, not really comparable. If you said a Daytona vs Speedmaster, or a DD vs a PP then I could assist.

landroverking · 1 April 2014, 03:21 AM

Why do people compare to totally different watches?

Daytona for me! I just wish the RG had a few interesting dials and/or ceramic insert.

AboutTime · 1 April 2014, 08:13 AM

I'd choose the DDII if I had the wrist for it.

dmitrii_ · 1 April 2014, 08:17 AM

Daytona any day in my opinion.

HogwldFLTR · 1 April 2014, 08:28 AM

DD works better imho; do you need the complications of a stop watch? I know you may just want the style, but, why get the Daytona if you don't need it. Everyone can use day date information.
