How many of you like the White Gold day-date?

So how many of you really like it?

I like it frostie..

To me, it would be the ultimate "gentlemans" watch to wear to those formal events and Country Club activities..

It's a beautiful watch but I would pick the 18k gold over it.

I prefer the WG or platinum DD over the YG. In fact, if I were to get a DD, it would prob. be the WG. The platinum is too expensive for me.

WG Day-Date? If it looks like this, I love it!! The 36 mm size, however, would put me off!!

Always liked the look, but the DD and the other 36mm on down models are just too small for me.

I love it. If I should get a DD so will it be in WG and I will have
the Glacier Blue dial with WG romans.

Is that the stunning dark mother of pearl dial? Or something else? It looks unique, and terrific!

I like WG as well as YG however in my case after wearing a SS sub all those years I needed a change to YG. As for the size I think a DD would look stupid in 40mm, just like a sub would look rediculous in 36mm. I said before for me a DD is what it is and never entered my mind as being small and I was used to my sub being bigger, going down to 36mm doesn't bother me.

The dial of the DD, DJ, Sub, etc. are all the same size. Sub is only bigger because of the bezel.

Yep! Same here, I would prefer WG over YG. More stealthy.

But would Plat be more scratch resistant over WG. Since Plat is harder.

Sorry, but I don't like WG, at all. It just looks too much like steel to me.

I thought the glacier blue dials were reserved only for the platinum watches.

In any event, I too like the look of the WG over the YG, but the platinum would be the watch to have, with the glacier blue dial.
