Sharp inputs, Chris, and thanks. I usually am averse to new calibers so I guess time will tell how this one goes.

I just feel that the DD deserves to be big, grand and majestic at 41 and fully wrapped in steel. The new DD40 appears to really be small and worse, glass is used for a caseback...glass??!!

I really don't know what thought process went into this at Rolex. But i don't like what they did. Again, that's just me.

I will really hunt down a 41.


I agree with you on the proportions Jeff. The 41mm DD definitely has a much more 'grand' wrist presence due to the overall proportions.

I haven't yet seen the glass caseback that you've seen for the DD40. Everything I've seen shows a solid caseback.
