Icon20 The Official Day-Date 2 Owners Club Thread
In keeping spirit with the SkyDweller, DateJust, Submariner, Explorer2, DSSD, Presidents, YM, etc. owners clubs on TRF I have decided to start this club/thread.

I will kick it off with a few of my pics...







First and Latest

Ebony & Ivory



Chocolate and Chocolate aka Hersey's Kisses





Looking at my pics I realize that I have a piece of hair stuck in one of the stickers, however, I will be peeling the stickers off this weekend!

With the DD2 coming in at 41mm, most folks will state that it's not as timeless as the 36mm Day-Date, however, I will add that the Day-Date 2 is a striking Rolex reference and one that folks should consider in any of the 4 offered metals (Yellow, White, Rose Gold and Platinum)

I do not own the DDII, however, I did see a guy wearing a YG/white face one in checkout line. He had jeans and t-shirt and it looked great . He was pretty big, well over 6 foot, watch was very impressive.

Great idea Sam, I have to say you have great taste, excellent choice and congratulations.
I have always loved the Day-Date however 36mm was not an option for me, a 41mm Rolex is not everybody's cup of tea, but it's a home run with me.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1358506085.480764.jpg

The 41 is a great size and my choice between the 2. will be passing the bucket shortly.

My DDII. Looks like the YG with white Romans is popular. Love the RG too.
