Which WG DD40???

Really loving the white gold DD40's. Cant decide which is my favorite of these three. Curious what everyone's opinion is between these WG variants?



1) Black Dial with Sticks





2) Blue Dial with Romans






3) Olive Green Dial with Romans

Blue dial wins for me. I prefer black on sport models. I love the olive but think the blue is more versatile. If you were opting for RG version I would say olive but the blue on WG just looks fantastic.

The WG with olive with romans pictured is my absolute favorite DD (favorite Rolex, really); prefer it over any other combination ever offered. Would have one on my wrist right now, if I hadn’t recently acquired my grail AP. Need to replenish the fund and promise to be a bit jealous if you get that DD40 before I do.

I love the green dial, too. So far no vote for the blue, FWIW.

I'd prefer YG but if I had to go with 1 of the 3, the blue dial would be it. Happy hunting.

Blue with sticks, otherwise the Black with sticks.
I don’t like Roman or Arabic numbers in the dial.

Keep us posted, and wear it in good health!

The stick indices make the dial appear less cluttered. I went for white gold with rhodium face. The blue is nice.....

I voted blue, but then saw Sensui's olive dial. Wow! I didn't think it would look that good with white gold, so voted blue, but Sensui's looks great.
So i change to olive green.

I prefer the looks of the blue dial. If I was buying it would probably be the black dial and then the blue and then the green.

Blue is the most striking to me. I like the olive when paired with the rose gold, and the black is very under the radar and classic. Like everyone said, you really can’t go wrong with any.

You can't go wrong with any of those. I went WG, black dial, with baguettes. The Baguettes really make the watch pop. Happy shopping.

I love both the blue and green. Prefer rhodium over black because of the textured dial.

How do you like the rhodium? It’s really piqued my interest lately.

Icon10 which way are you leaning?

I like the blues, but have you seen the color difference when you go platinum?

In white gold, Blue with Romans. The WG and olive dial looks good and would be my second choice. I prefer the olive dial with RG as well.

Of course the platinum with light blue dial and sticks is the best one yet.

WG, black dial, baguette markers. Fell in love with the watch from the minute I tried it on.
