The Google algorithm sent me your way! Congrats on this beautiful watch. Enjoyed your enthusiastic, sincere and informed commentary. Special props for explaining and showing the ceramic pins. It’s a major selling point (for keepers and not flippers), but it’s never shown. Again, well done!
Thank you google! 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I hope it was entertaining and informative. Yeah the ceramic parts in the bracelet are NEVER shown are they? Undoubtedly because the majority of “reviewers” don’t actually own the watch.
Congrats on your grail piece mate, wear it in good health, if I would’ve bought the yellow gold that would’ve been the exact configuration, that silver dial is so versatile 😻😻
My pleasure! Thank you for the comment! I do wish the bracelet screws weren’t so tiny. Having to integrate the ceramic “sleeve” into the link forces the actual screw to be thinner. I have found out the hard way that it’s best to let a pro size this one.
Congratulations. It is an iconic piece. I was offered one last month and passed, but because it was the wrong time, not the wrong piece. Everything about this piece is so right and it will definitely be in my collection one day.
Thank you very much! Bizarrely the DD40 represents a relative bargain in the world of modern Rolex. I had the chance to trade multiple watches (and add beaucoup ca$h) to acquire it; and nowadays you can’t pass up the chance trade up with multiples of non-Rolex. Be well!🥰
Great review! Love this combination! Curious if you considered the champagne dial w/ the Roman numerals. I’m “in the market” and I have it narrowed down to one or the other.
Thanks! Honestly I didn’t consider the champagne…not because it isn’t awesome but because I thought the silver would break up some of the gold and maybe match my wedding ring (which is platinum) a little better. The champagne is epic but the look is VERY drippy which may or may not be what you’re going for. Hope that helped!!!
That's crazy you sound like me,I felt the same way and gave up a few watches for mines also I couldn't pass up the baguettes in the face mines is a 36 we have the same size wrist, I had to take it while I could get it , congratulations sir
Thank you very much! Congrats! There’s something really special about a YG DD that’s hard to capture in words or even in video…coming up it was always the shot caller’s watch …still is.
awesome i just got my 40 mm yellow gold with white face ! i need a few exttra links im a bigger guy was worried it would be a lil to small but it lools perfect 😅 on me
Help me out please I am looking at a presidential with a meteorite dial in rose gold. what do you think the going price is for this to day. Looking to purchase around April 1st 2021. Any advise that I should look for. I have been dealing with this dealer for a couple years now
Hi, thanks for the comment! I’m assuming you mean secondary market pricing. Okay….I believe the RG with meteorite dial is a 36mm watch because I could not make that combo on the Rolex website; unless you meant the newly released Eisenkiesel dial which is not a meteorite but actually a beautiful stone. At any rate those dials are both beautiful and super rare. The DD40 RG with the Eisenkiesel is literally double the price (or more)of my “entry level” YG silver Romans! I think you’re looking at $80k+ there. The DD36 RG with meteorite is even more than my humble YG40! Probably like $40-50k? It’s crazy how much the premium for RG is but that’s what is hit right now.
This is silver. Sorry the color is so tough to see. It was filmed using a LED light for illumination and I’m seeing that natural light gives a more….natural…appearance. Ahem.

Thank u so much! The silver dial really “breaks up” all the gold which makes it very versatile as you say. 🥰
Congratulations. Beautiful watch. Thanks for showing the ceramic bushing. I was curious how the bushing works. Makes sense how it works.

Such a spectacular piece my friend. Exquisite taste. Cheers

What is price of Indian currency please
Congrats! Enjoy that master piece
Thank u very much! It’s such a perfect watch. Sturdy but refined. The 40 is such a great size too!

@@soundsoserious I was thinking the same thing (my wedding ring is tungsten).
Great choice. I’m happy for you.
Thank you very much!

Very big congrats! Such an epic watch and baguettes would be a dream! Gotta go all-in when the opportunity strikes!
Beautiful watch man Congratulations 🐉

Beautiful watch
Thank you!
Great video! I am waiting on my AD to allocate one for me.

Awesome! The 40 is a perfect size for all wrists I’d say. Looks so classic! Congrats!
the best rolex it’s yelling success
Yessir! Nothing says “shot caller” like a solid gold Presy. If you have the means…

@@soundsoserious thank you for the info
My pleasure but I’m not sure how much it will help! You’re approaching #godlevel with a RG DD40….I’m jelly!
I had that one but I had to go to the day date ii
DD2 is definitely a really cool watch. Much more gold in that one.
what color dial do you have here? white or silver?
This is silver. Sorry the color is so tough to see. It was filmed using a LED light for illumination and I’m seeing that natural light gives a more….natural…appearance. Ahem.
@@soundsoserious no worries! i'm obsessed with this dial so i wanted to make sure before going to the store :)
I’m struggling between the Day Date 40 and the solid gold SkyDweller 😭
I’ve been looking for a Sky-Dweller too. A gold one would be epic!
You’ll get tired of the Sky Dweller - you never get tired of staring at this day date
@@Benenatilawfirm true this is the classic rolex
Best Picture in Picture for reference lol
😂 thank u!
I like the 40mm but I still prefer the 36mm like Tony Soprano.
Hard to beat a classic. It will always be in style. 👌🏼
Platinum is flat to differentiate between it and white gold model.
The flat one is discontinued now and the new Platinum DD40 is fluted.
is this the silver dial?
yes it is
@@soundsoserious make another video on this
Not a fan of the roman dial. But beautiful piece.
Thanks. The Romans are classic but not as clean as stick markers for sure.
Nice watch, but your wrist is to small for 40mm, and please wear it above your wrist bone
Appreciate your comment! Check out my videos of the Big Pilot and the Panerai 305.
Not a fan of the Roman markers, but hey-you otherwise did well.
Yeah the sticks are hecka good, appreciate it.
36 is the one not 40
You may be right! Thanks for the comment!
BAD
GOOD
