Reply With QuoteClassy Choice indeed sir
Lost the love for my BLRO (and it was very similar to my Smurf anyway so I figured it kinda silly to have two WG Sports models anyway) so I flipped it for this.
It’s the Rose Gold and ‘Olive’ (or ‘snotburst’ as my mate calls it!) dial, Day Date 40 model 228235.
Absolute change of direction for me and my collection but while it’s undoubtedly the ‘dressiest’ watch I’ve ever owned it also feels surprisingly ‘sporty’ on the wrist and it’s not quite as ‘in your face’ as it’s YG siblings.
Dial and the bracelet really are works of art IMO....

Love the snotburst name...Beautiful watch very classy.
Very nice. My favourite DD. Enjoy.
Congrats. Love the bracelet on these
That really is a thing of beauty.
A stunner D. Very nice.
Great Dial/Case combination.
Really classy
Great choice. Love that president bracelet as well.

Love the DD. Great choice although my first dial pick would be a silver stick dial. Enjoy.
Congrats. That is a stunning combo buying the wife the 34mm SS snotdial tomorrow.
Would be nice one day to be $$ enough to carry that off.
Congrats, that is a lovely combination. Works very well indeed.
Thanks Gents....
It’s quite a soft green in some light, had a look at one yesterday.

Congrats on the watch. The day-date looks lovely in rose gold. Enjoy.

I reckon you could make that a daily wearer, more subtle than yellow gold, well done you!!
A thing of beauty. Love that model.
Smart combo

Love that watch in any combo, especially in “snotburst”! :-D
Stunning! It's really nice to see something different!
That is a beauty

Love that dial and love that RG bracelet.
Wow, what a combination

That is gorgeous. I love the Roman numerals on the dial. Stunning.

Great change imho. My budget does not reach that high but would be my choice of President.

Very nice, I've always wondered how resistant the 'bezel' is to the odd knock?
BLRO, Smurf, Christ on a bike.
The gold Rolex looks fine, the abbreviations not so,
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
Very nice.
If I want to search for posts regarding a particular watch, for example my white gold GMT, words or phrases such as “white”, “gold” or “gmt” give varied and often irrelevant results.
Searching “BLRO” will produce only the results I wish to see, and while I know the appropriate Rolex model number for that particular watch I suspect many members don’t, in the same way that I’m not overly familiar with many other manufacturers model numbers but I do know and use/search common abbreviations and/or popular ‘nicknames’.
It’s a beauty.

Ah yes. Rolex and their abbreviations. Tut.
I loved my Day Date.
And then there was this:
I changed because of consistent issues with the change-over on the early DD40. In the end, swapped for this.
In all this, I only paid for one watch. Of the three, my favourite is the silver Day Date 40.
Can't afford one now. Looking at the pictures, the Daytona seems gorgeous. Sold it to a friend.
Of course they are 'dressy' but, like all Rolex, are really pretty tough. A DD40 and a SD43 would be a nice pair. But sadly, i'l probably not have another gold Rolex.
Although you never know!

A lovely piece although to my eye the Roman numerals are too large. Everything else is fantastic. I hope you enjoy it.
Rose gold really suits the Day Date. Beautiful watch, especially like the bracelet.

Nice !
New bond street watch
Looks fantastic, love that combination.
As a thing to look at, I really do like the Day-Date. One of the very few watches, to me, that looks good in gold. Nice find, sir.
Fabulous watch spuds!!
Work of art describes it perfectly! That’s a dream!

Never say never. All stunning, the WG Blue Daytona is one of my favourite watches of all time. At least you got to experience it for a while.
Thanks for all your comments Gents....
Eh??
Very nice.
Lovely watch. I normally think the DD40 is a little bloated but this looks perfect.
Can I ask though, why is there a single baton at 4 and 9 on the dial inplace of numerals?
I think it's purely 'aesthetics' mate, and in my opinion they've got it 'bang on'.
Definately. Cracker.
Stunning watch , the rose gold and green dial work perfectly

Tried one of these on when they were first released and loved it.
Enjoy
