would you buy a dd40 or buy a Daytona c with another sport model or dj41

disclaimer I own a subc date

Wing-Co · 18 January 2018, 12:47 AM

I had DSSD and YMII TT and went to DD40 WG

shirtguy · 18 January 2018, 12:51 AM

better to buy 2 ss at 1 time or a pm is the q

rmlovett1 · 18 January 2018, 12:53 AM

If your keeping the Sub...I’d go for the PM

*warning* PM is addictive!

yannis · 18 January 2018, 12:54 AM

Man this is a tough one but for me is 2 SS rather than one PM.

This ^^

Carrera_2 · 18 January 2018, 12:56 AM

1 precious metal is fine with me as long as it is one of their professional model.

watchwatcher · 18 January 2018, 12:57 AM

Get that DD40 right now. One of the best watches out there at any price point, IMO.

Paired with sub you already own, you're set, my friend.

worldfamoussam · 18 January 2018, 12:57 AM

DD 40. no brainer.

shirtguy · 18 January 2018, 12:58 AM

and skip a ss Daytona and a skydweller or a gmt?

watchwatcher · 18 January 2018, 01:03 AM

Well, my thoughts are you're most likely building a collection. You've got the perfect building block, the sub. You add a DD40 and you have the perfect PM piece.

Down the road you can add whatever you want, because the core of your collection will be set...and you don't have to do it today. Just my two cents.

shirtguy · 18 January 2018, 01:08 AM

a ss Daytona isn't part of the core?

watchwatcher · 18 January 2018, 01:20 AM

For me, no. Now, for you...that's something only you can say.

Also factor in it's probably going to be a while before you can get your hands on one. So...timing-wise, getting the DD40 now and snagging a D500 a few years down the road makes a lot of sense.

Dr.Smellody · 18 January 2018, 01:23 AM

Pm

drm20 · 18 January 2018, 01:25 AM

Pm!!!

shirtguy · 18 January 2018, 01:29 AM

dd 40 yg or a gmt yg? which is more prestigious?

opawlows · 18 January 2018, 01:41 AM

DD YG over the GMT YG if you have and are keeping the sub

shirtguy · 18 January 2018, 01:42 AM

yes, sub is a keeper

Both the same, IMO. The DD will give you a different look over the sub, however, while the GMT is going to carry over the sub DNA. Just my thoughts.

shirtguy · 18 January 2018, 01:50 AM

nice, id be aiming for a dd40 yg champagne stick dial or a gmt yg

HorologyK · 18 January 2018, 01:59 AM

Annual calendar white gold black dial dd40. I would buy that.

I'll go against the crowd here and say two SS watches > 1 PM piece. Maybe it's an age or style thing, but I don't have much desire for PM.

At least not in a sports watch. If you were talking about a Lange that came in PM only, then something else entirely.

dafuture · 18 January 2018, 02:12 AM

You already have a Sub, so I say go for a PM!

gbpritf · 18 January 2018, 02:14 AM

dd40 :)

joli160 · 18 January 2018, 02:20 AM

That's easy, DD rules

jenniferjanef · 18 January 2018, 02:24 AM

Rolex nowadays are so well built even the DD40 is tough as nail! It's a great all rounder. The large 40mm case makes it looks v sporty n classy. Swimming n golfing n tennis no problem at all. GMT unless you need the time zones or SUB if you dive regularly.. otherwise get the DD40.

tkerrmd · 18 January 2018, 04:36 AM

for me once I got a PM watch, the SS watches didnt get any wrist time. your results may vary

AK797 · 18 January 2018, 04:40 AM

I would usually have said 3 SS were equivalent to one PM, particularly regarding prices, so 2 is really not enough, even if one is the D500.
