Is this the ultimate Rolex DayDate? In this review I will be going over all the points that make this watch heavy hitter!

On this video I am going to be reviewing my latest acquisition. The Rolex DayDate 40 in platinum.
The DayDate in platinum is a watch that has always had my attention, even with the DayDate 2. I mostly buy watches to re-sell them because that’s how I make a living. Right now there is not a lot of merchandise available, but when I saw this watch I new I had to buy it. Something about that Glacier blue dial that just talks to me. I feel that the older versions in the DayDate 36mm really did not have that same color that pops like the newer ones do. Although I love the DayDate 2 in platinum, there is something about this new style deconstructed roman numerals that I love. This particular one has what is called the Quadrant Motif dial, that is what sealed the deal for me. The Quadrant Motif dial has four quadrants with lines going in opposite directions that just give this watch an amazing look. This combined with the anodized blue hand makes it a winner.

The Rolex President in platinum is known for having a smooth bezel instead of the fluted. That is one interesting characteristic that I tend to love because it downplays that watch. When you buy a Platinum DayDate Presidential you are buying an understated big boy watch. Most people that do not known may thing that you are wearing a DateJust. That is what i like about it, But make no mistake. When you see The Glacier Blue dial and the smooth bezel, know that it is Platinum. The smooth bezel also lets people know that it is not a Rolex in white gold. More reasons why I love it.
This watch is a heavy hitter and I mean that figuratively and literally. Platinum is very heavy. I feel that it almost weighs double of what a gold on does. With all this in mind I would say that the DayDate 40 Platinum is the ultimate DayDate!

In the past I have expressed that I am a fan of the DayDate2 over the DayDate 40. It is safe for me to say that the Rolex DayDate 40 has grown on me. Although I still love the 41mm DayDate 2 the most, I can say that with the Platinum version I like the DayDate 40 the best. Sometimes I think that Rolex should have made the DayDate 41. The same dimensions as the DateJust 41 but instead they went with the 40mm case and in the end I feel it was a good decision. I do not know why I doubted them, they know what they’re doing.

The DayDate 40 in platinum is one of those watches where you can still get a lot of value. The retail price is $63,250 and you can pick one up in the range of $50,000-$55,000 in the preowned market. With recent increases in the second hand watch market I feel that it is one of those models where you can get a preowned one and still get a lot of value. Nowadays any of the yellow or rose gold Prezis are going for retail preowned. This make this watch even more interesting.

When it comes to the watch game this watch is a heavy hitter. This watch is only for the initiated and no one can deny that this watch in platinum is not a statement piece. I feel that this watch and the Daytona in platinum is the ultimate platinum line up.
