Thank you for your advices...Rose Gold Daydate and SS Daytona get the same score so far...
And still don't know what to do
Daydate in RG (from Rolex site)
SS Daytona (from Rolex site)
Thank you bb10lue : this is exactly my concern about the RG Daytona...but I think I could be comfortable with a RG Daydate ...since it is smaller???
I tried on both the Daydate and Daytona in RG last week, the size's not that much different as expected. The daytona is a bit wider but a lot thinner....Daydate is super dressy in my opinion, and Daytona is a bit sporty and trendy.
SS Daytona makes my heart skip a beat! I cannot wait to own one, hopefully sooner rather than later! 
There's a reason there are waitlists for this beauty!!
40mm sounds large, but I have very small wrists, and it did not look overly large. I think because it is so well made, it sits perfectly on the wrist.
The RG Daytona is gorgeous as well, but IMO, it may not be as versatile as the SS.

I agree. At the begining, I wanted a SS Daytona,
but I've seen the RG Daydate and it was a love at first sight...
So I started to hesitate and thought to RG Daytona...but I don't think I have the lifestyle to enjoy a gold 40 mm sporty watch, even if it's gorgeous.
The poll reflects my mind : it will be the RG Daydate or SS Daytona I think...but stil don't know

Hi I've had the SS Daytona for a couple of years. Last Christmas I got the Rose Gold one and have been wearing it all the time since. At first I thought it would be too in your face, but the gold is actually very subtle and I have received lots of compliments from friends as well as strangers... so if possible I would recommend to go for the Rose Gold!!
Thank you so much for your advices Ladies.
Padparasha, you are very lucky to own those beautiful watches. Thans you so much for the comparison pic
!
Finally, I've been to my Rolex AD to try watches on me...
After explaining my wishes, my SA (who already knows me too well according BF
) brought me :
- a Daytona in RG with Rose Dial
- a Daytona in WG (no SS in stock of course...)
- a Day-Date in RG / meterorite dial with diamonds / Oyster bracelet
- a Day-Date in RG / rose dial with diamonds / President bracelet
I definitely prefer Oyster bracelet links...
The Daytona in RG was gorgeous, but not me...too much gold on my small wrist !
The WG was gorgeous too, and looked very very well on my wrist...
The Day-Date in RG with that dial combo was
...and on my wrist 
!
Meteorite goes very well with diamonds and RG !
I told my SA I found the price surprisingly high compared to the others : she told me the metorite dial with diamonds was the cause, but she could find me a classic rose dial with diamonds...
I declined : the meterorite adds a stone touch and compliments the diamonds en RG very well IMO.
So I decided to go for this one, and paid 50% to hold it.
She will be mine for my Bday in September...can't wait to be older this year !!!
Thank you so much for your help !
Of course I'll post pics when I have it
