Tough choice but that olive dial DD just sings a little louder.

If I had to pick 1 I'd go for the bluesy. I haven't acquired a taste for RG yet and that combo with the green dial doesn't do it for me. That's just me. The DD40 is a beautiful piece, but I can't see myself wearing that color combo. I have the yg DDII with a white roman dial that I absolutely love. My opinion and a token (metrocard) will get you on the subway.

Prefer Subs, so the Sub. Although I have not owned a DD since they made them larger. I wore a YG DD in 36mm for a couple years but was too small for my preference.

Another vote for the Olive DD. Aesthetically, it's usually not my jam but I find myself so drawn to it. Maybe it's the simple two tone, with RG writing on the dial.

Between these two, I'd go for the Day Date - great dial/colour combination.

No brainer for me, DD is king.
Huge Bluesy fan (!) but after 2 years wearing I traded it with cash up to my DD(36)

That’s a gorgeous collection! The two bluesies stand out “pop” the most imo.
