You will smile every time you check the time. It will appreciate. A fool and his money... The coin said heads! It might become my daily. The coin said tails. I will only wear it on special occasions. My casio only cost $20 and keeps better time. Who wears a wrist watch these days? A 2024 apple watch will be obsolete in 10 years. That bracelet.

Did I miss any?
Not certain about appreciation but at least you'll appreciate it. ;) I've had three Day Dates since I joined TRF. I'm on my third and chose a WG with olive dial DD40. It's a special watch for me and has all the updates. Older ones never fully satisfied my craving. At any rate it's a great watch!!

I thought the YG DD was my grail
and got one during the pandemic. The truth is that in four years I have worn it maybe a dozen times. Yes it is a beautiful watch but for me it’s a bit too flashy. i am thinking of trading it for something else, maybe a daytona white ghost on OF.

I would not go from full bracelet to rubber. Perhaps, a full PM Daytona makes more sense to me.

Go for it! I went for one in YG and champagne dial which I had been wanting for about 50 years. I kept it for one year and got bored with it, but I am glad to have had one. Better to have memories than regrets.

I would think about a YG, it has more presence. I have had four Day-Dates starting with a YG 1803, five digit double quick set, DDII and now DD40. It is my favorite watch, in each version.
