Hello y'all first time poster here! I'm stuck between 2 watches. The YG black luminous dial vs the RG chocolate dial. I'm a 32 yr old Asian male. Your thoughts greatly appreciated. Have a good day

Tools · 15 November 2015, 01:06 PM

Personal choice I would say...

I wouldn't wear a Rose Gold anything..

watchwatcher · 15 November 2015, 01:09 PM

I think legibility-wise, the YG would have a slight edge. But that chocolate dial is amazing...

RHIII · 15 November 2015, 01:32 PM

Out of those 2 --- it would be YG. For me.

KeithP · 15 November 2015, 01:36 PM

Yellow gold. Gold is yellow.

I am going to go with YG soon I hope but I prefer a Newman dial

WhatTheDeuce · 15 November 2015, 01:52 PM

I, too, am Asian. Not sure why that matters, but I chose YG.

I'm a half Asian male, also not sure why that matters, but I like the RG.

I said Asian because different golds go better with certain skin tones. That's all.

I knew what you meant. Rose gold is my vote. I tried both options on Daytona and DD40 and Rose won each time for me. White Gold, now that's a different discussion. Stunning wrist shot btw

You will find Asian skin tones go with anything. One of the many benefits.

I have all golds: YG, WG, and RG. I prefer the YG Daytona.

Many will disagree with me but RG seems trendy to me. YG is classic.

GerardoG · 15 November 2015, 02:03 PM

Both!!!!

I strongly considered the yellow gold with the yellow gold bracelet from an AD but I didn't like the bezel in person. I hope Rolex goes to a black bezel on all of their Daytonas.

Slam dunk for me: RG with chocolate is da bomb!

JJDONTPL4Y · 15 November 2015, 02:11 PM

Thanks for all the replies. I think the first picture I posted of the chocolate didn't do it justice. What u guys think?

This is almost my favorite Daytona. This with the ceramic bezel, chocolate dial, full bracelet would be the ultimate!

I would definitely go for the choco dial.

I think you're answering your own question here. Do you wear any other jewellery that you might want to coordinate with?

Al1969 · 15 November 2015, 02:11 PM

Go with the yellow gold.

DeeTee · 15 November 2015, 02:25 PM

Everose for me. One of the main reasons is because I prefer the font on the bezel compare to the YG and SS models.

gummy · 15 November 2015, 02:43 PM

Of the pictured watches - I like RG option.

luvsub · 15 November 2015, 02:51 PM

YG for me.

rollee1 · 15 November 2015, 02:55 PM

YG is class and classic.
RG is a bit metro for me unless I score a one hit wonder.

DenaliHD · 15 November 2015, 02:59 PM

The RG on a strap or band just does something for me.... YG on bracelet.

Eric Chan · 15 November 2015, 03:03 PM

As much as I love yellow gold, for a Daytona, Everose Gold will always be my choice.

DCheeta · 15 November 2015, 03:11 PM

There's just something amazingly beautiful about RG Daytonas.

el1125 · 15 November 2015, 03:15 PM

On the watch , yellow gold hands down. Too bad more watch companies don't use more of it on their contemporary watches..

joeswatchstraps · 15 November 2015, 03:12 PM

Yellow gold hands down. Rose gold is trendy right now but yellow gold is classic.

tkerrmd · 15 November 2015, 03:19 PM

I had both before I went to the platinum Daytona and both are very special pieces.

My wife really loved the RG and wore it more than I did

If I was going to get one of those two again I would go with the "Paul Newman" face YG...

I prefer this dial for the RG......
