What do you folks think about the new DD2 in 40? I just think this was a big let down for DD fans like me. At 41, the pre-2015 DD stood really tall and imposing.
While the Day-Date is not really my thing (although I might be tempted by some of the previous DD2 versions), I agree with you Jeff...I don't really get the slight downsizing of the case size from the 41mm of the DD2, to this new DD40.
[Although, we seem to be seeing a number of makers return to the "smaller" sizes of their historical base...hmmm...are we seeing a real trend here? Seems like we are even seeing a number of new offerings in the 39mm size.]
The DD40 seems to be all about the new laser cut dials (which look very ornate and cool for a dressy piece), and then that new 3255 calibre, which has been heavily redesigned and modified.
My wife would likely love this light blue dial version, and at 40mm on her wrist would make a heck of a statement (she has been known to wear my 42mm Anonimos when she wants to wear something big).
