The white gold, personally. A bit more visual contrast and nuance, to my eye. The yellow is just a bit too much yellow for me, and I find that the white date and day also stick out oddly as a result.

The question should be more what YOU would prefer on your wrist!

Personally, I prefer the contrasts of the WG DD.

It's a tough decision. I've always loved and wanted the yellow gold for myself. My uncle had one growing up so it's has that nostalgic element to it. However, once I tried on the white gold my thoughts started to change lol.

The white gold looks better. The yellow gold needs a different dial colour.

The white gold/olive green roman dial is stunning, and I am not usually a WG fan.

If I was buying a DD I would go all out and get the classic yellow gold and own it. Otherwise if you want to be subtle I would rather get a SS WG DJ41 AND a Sub

you could always add a PM sub or DD Yellow Gold White Dial has great contrast. But DD YG ftw

I chose this one to give it contrast. The silver motif dial was also in the running. In WG the blue roman dial is what calls me and the olive dial second.
