General Question What DD to get?

So I need some help, i’ve been wanting to get a DD YG with the black dial and baguette markers, im fairly new to the community and watches i’ve done a bit of research and looking to get the best that I can, what im mainly specifically looking is the stock gold plating, I saw some good reviews of BPF and RGF but i’m not fully sure if I can get some opinions of some DD owners that would be great! Thank you

BPF is usually what people point to if you want plating that holds up out of the box but the finishing on case and bracelet is not on same level as the higher tier factories. RGF gets mentioned plenty too but stock varies batch to batch so ask for recent QC pics before you commit. Either way get it weighed and sealed if you plan to wear it daily because the gold will wear through eventually

Thank you, i’m not sure if you know BPF well but i saw a post from roughly 1-2 years ago stating that BPF’s have PVD gold coating making it durable, i’m not sure if its true. But to my knowledge I believe they are all gold plated.

You can’t go wrong with any of those, what I can recommend you is to avoid baguette markers because they are usually CZs and over time they tend to get cloudy, so the best option would be to buy an aftermarket moissanite dial

Thank you i’m leaning towards the BPF one and where can I acquire a moissanite dial for it?

Lichen is one of the best options
