Welcome to TRF!

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Personally, the DD 118238 in YG and with a silver coloured dial is the DD I would go for! I visited my AD recently and had a look at it:

Please post pics when you get it.

Not WG, but the black diamond dial is quite easy to read.

I would tend to vote YG, but this is only personal preference. If I were choosing for myself, I would go with WG.

I've had my YG DD for a month now and I love it. As for the combo...it's up to you. There are all different bezels, dials, YG/WG/RG/Plat, etc...

Pick the one that matches your style, wardrobe, skin tone, etc... Ultimately, one will speak to you. This one called my name for years

Good luck
