This is Watch Your Style.
Today I'm gonna be doing a review on one of the most controversial watches in my video
series.
That is the Day-Date 40!
Alright, so the model that I have for you today is the Rolex Day Date 40 Presidential.
What makes it unique more than the other ones is that it has that olive, green anniversary
dial.
Now, when I did my video originally on the Day-Date 40, I wasn't really too much of a
fan of the watch.
I just didn't understand why they would change such a perfect watch as the Day-Date II into
the Day Date 40.
I personally thing they should have gone more the route similar to the Datejust 41 where
they got the same size as the 41, but just made it slimmer and a narrower bezel.
I think that would have been the right, correct thing to do with this watch.
But either way, I kind of hated this watch for a while and it did grow on me before.
I had used one before.
I used the white gold with the blue dial and it kind of did do something to me.
It made me feel some type of way, but what happens is they came out with this green dial
version.
Now, sometimes there's watches that you see in pictures and they look amazing and when
you see them, they don't really do it for me.
This was the other way around.
I saw when it was released.
I saw the green dial, the olive, green dial and I kinda was like �Ehhh, I don't know
if I like it too much.� Believe it or not, I like this watch.
I say it again, yes, I actually like a Day-Date 40.
I like it so much, I'm actually considering that when there's a bit more around in circulation
and one just happens to fall in my lap, I'm thinking about buying one for my personal
collection.
Something about this watch just looks cool.
The rose gold with that green dial hits it perfect.
I mean, it is a special watch, hard to find, so it's one of those watches that finally
I guess grew on me and I know everybody's gonna freak out on me because I didn't like
the 40 before, but Hey, I finally came around.
I mean, I'm entitled to also change my mind and like watches.
I don't see it happening any time soon with the Day-Date 36 for me personally.
Nothing wrong with the 36, but this rose gold, green dial looks really nice man.
It gives it that touch that just looks so much more special.
And the Day Date 40, I still feel is a little small, but after wearing it a bit more, I
kind of see where it can work.
What I like about the green dial is if perhaps maybe I was gonna go with like a chocolate
face, I'd rather have the 41 millimeter, but since the green dial is like a special watch.
That's what I feel makes it so important, is that green dial, the green dial, the green
dial.
So right now in the market is pretty hard to get one of these.
I mean if you can manage to get one in your AD, anything is possible.
If you wanna get one at a large discount from gray market dealers or pre-owned, it's almost
impossible.
I've had a hard time finding them the last six months, but expect to pay anywhere from
$30,000 to $35k.
I mean, there just isn't any of them out there.
And if you really like the watch, you gotta be prepared to pay for it because the chances
are, if you have one in your hands, you might not see another one for a while, so keep that
in mind, if you're searching for this watch and you wanna buy one.
So as far as the Watch Game goes, I mean, this watch with the green dial being that
it's special and is so hard to find, I kind of just like it.
I feel like it's unique and I feel like it's an important watch in the Watch Game.
You definitely get points for taste and the uniqueness of the watch.
You can't find it, so as far as the Watch Game goes, it's definitely a contender and
like I said, I think I'm thinking about getting one for myself.
Feel free to comment below how you feel about the Rolex Day-Date 40 with the olive, green
dial.
