I love the rose gold, but as Rick stated above, the contrast and red sweep hand look better. At least IMHO.
They're both great looking watches though. |

Tough choice, both are nice, however, with the exception of the Cellini line I have never been a fan of Rolex timepieces on a strap
 Which one sings to you G?

I think the YG w/ champagne dial and brown strap will be a more versatile watch that will go with a wider variety of clothes and situations.
Best, GW |

I have to agree that the RG is great but it needs the chocolate dial otherwise I would Ihave to go with the YG.

Tough choice. The yellow. I like the gold bezel -- why cover it up?

Definitely the ivory dial with black strap. Really nice contrast with the black bezel too.

116518, I have a thing for Daytonas on leather at the moment. The RG does not appeal, YG looks cool.

In the UK £17,000 ........................................ £8,500 (preowned) Even if one wasn't half the price of the other I'd still prefer it. Gold Bezel > Ceramic Bezel. |

I prefer the YG on brown strap by a wide margin between the 2. It just has a vintage look to me because of the subdials which I love.
