If you had to choose.....

Gentlemen,

If you had to choose between a YG E Serial Sub, or a YG 1803 Day-Date which would you choose?

I like both watches but life is all about choices haha.

YG DD fo sho! I have to say that the choice has a lot to do with age and mode of dress too. So, in the end, depends on you and your style.

If I had to pick one it would probably be the Sub but the DD is nice too no I mean the Sub... probably but maybe the DD... sorry that's. hard choice. I'd try them both on and then decide. In all seriousness I'd go with the Sub.

Dude, as we age isn't the YG DD looking better and better? You know it does. It's sort of a grown up appreciation thing, isn't it?

I'm leaning towards the sub but I do really like the idea of getting older with a DD.

I had a YG DD and it was stunning. I could not stop staring at it.

However, I felt extremely limited as to what I could wear it with, so I sold it and bought Subs. I do miss the DD occasionally, but I don't regret my decision.

I love the president bracelet, but an 1803 is a little too old for me.

Sub!
