I welcomed myself to the Day Date club.

For the better part of last 6 months, I've been trying to decide between 228238-0061 and 228206-0002.

In the end, I made the decision to join the Day Date family via 228206-0002, which will be my only watch and hopefully worn daily. I pray the bracelet will hold up and not stretch, with the help of ceramic inserts.

It is a special moment.

Enjoy!
Just a word of wisdom as a former Platinum DD owner - The 280 grams, even though well proportioned, is still a heavy watch - You may want to consider having another Rolex in the stable to wear, just to balance things out…….
