I've decided on the YG DayDate 40 because 1.) YG is more timeless and classic versus RG and 2.) YG looks better with my skin tone.

Now, the issue is which dial to choose! Of the four below, which do you prefer? I personally have only tried on RG and the Yellow Gold Sub, so I haven't seen any of these in the flesh.

I'm interested to know what the forum thinks about the different dials associated with YG. Thanks!

Silver diagonal motif dial for sure!

Black

Silver IMO. Either of the white faces look great too. Not the biggest fan of the black-on-gold DD.

Kigan · 24 April 2018, 01:44 AM

Silver Roman.

zjd168 · 24 April 2018, 01:56 AM

the 3rd one out of these for me

rmlovett1 · 24 April 2018, 02:11 AM

Silver roman is good choice for me. :)

Silver diagonal

KBM · 24 April 2018, 02:39 AM

I was going to vote black, but after seeing those pics, the white motif looks so classy... that would be my pick.

Chiboy · 24 April 2018, 02:51 AM

I'd maybe vote for the first one, as it looks Navy Blue in the picture and very nice to me.

ap1 · 24 April 2018, 02:53 AM

I like sticks / motif silver in this matchup

DocHorton · 24 April 2018, 02:59 AM

Silver or white Romans.

jstan9 · 24 April 2018, 03:02 AM

I love that navy blue. Exceptional.

Of course, there is no wrong answer!

Silver Roman

jps3b · 24 April 2018, 03:27 AM

I love Romans, but for some reason can’t get on board with the DD with Roman numerals.

jb335 · 24 April 2018, 03:39 AM

I'm partial to the black dial among these choices with silver being second. Not a big fan of a white dial. It depends on your skin tone and what looks better on you though. Impossible to decide without trying on.

If you have a darker skin complexion, the silver dial may look better on you, a lighter skin complexion and a black dial would probably look better. Go for contrast.

dysondiver · 24 April 2018, 03:43 AM

white sticks ,, but any stick would do.

droptopman · 24 April 2018, 03:44 AM

Either white, but the motive dial is my favorite.

WaxedElvis · 24 April 2018, 03:48 AM

Blue for me - but no wrong answer - all are beautiful

travisb · 24 April 2018, 03:52 AM

Silver roman followed by white stick.

Navarino · 24 April 2018, 03:57 AM

Either the silver or white with romans. Nothing beats the roman numerals specific to the DD40 (if we were talking about the DD36 I'd recommend sticks).

DLRIDES · 24 April 2018, 04:49 AM

Any stick over Romans.

Voted: White Stick with Motif (what a dream DD

)

JParm · 24 April 2018, 06:02 AM

Anyone have actual wrist shots of their DD? Thanks for everyone else's responses!

I think I'm leaning towards the White Stick with Motif at the moment.

Bigblu10 · 24 April 2018, 06:38 AM

First image with blue dial is great. Since you tried on an 116618LB you know yellow gold goes with blue real well. But ultimately it is your 28K and your wrist. You have to love it not me or anyone else here.
