just wondering, since rolex white gold and ss are so similar, are those non-watch people really notice that's a very expensive 18k white gold watch? becasue I was think buying the 116509 blue dial daytona...or should I just get 116508 yellow gold black dial ? since we have no way to find green-yellow gold daytona in any AD

So you want to make sure others recognize your watch as a gold Rolex? Got it.

well just because all the watches I own are SS model...need something different

If you want people to notice your watch you should get yellow gold with diamonds. I don’t think most people will notice WG or Platinum.

Safer to just get the rainbow daytona. Or the leopard.

I bought the WG Daytona for the very reason that it passes as steel to most people. It’s the watch I wear most often. I’ve taken it on vacation and worn it in places I maybe shouldn’t have. I take the subway every day. Nobody notices. But occasionally when I’m around watch people I’ll get a nice compliment. What matters is that I love it. I love the weight of PM. And I’ll never get tired of looking at the dial.

This, and my 509 story is exactly the same.

I love this Daytona. I think the stealthy aspect is fantastic. Btw, this watch of yours is one of the most beautiful I have seen! I’ve hesitated at times to wear my YG Daytona because it’s kind of too showy. I only wear it if it’s tucked up under my shirt cuff. It’s for me, no one else.

Thanks! I have the YG green dial Daytona on order (w/paid deposit). Been waiting for several months. I’ve never owned a watch with a full YG bracelet and I’m a little apprehensive about where/when I’ll wear it. Maybe start with under a shirt cuff and slowly adjust mentally. As you say, it’s for me and no one else.

Nobody will notice your watch unless its red/yellow gold/diamonds or they are a male that also is into watches.

People like white gold because it's stealth wealth

Exactly why I love WG !

Aloha,

My friends who don't know watches were surprised when another friend recognized my yellow gold daytona as real gold. I believe the comment was "everybody has a gold color watch"

My WG DD40 gets less attention than any other rolex I have owned and there have been many more than I care to admit.

I would just come straight out and tell everyone that you are wearing a White Gold sports Rolex. That way you know you will be safe, as every watch thief in the world knows everybody and his dog is only interested in the Stainless Steel sports models.

I say my DS is white gold so it doesn't get noticed as really being SS !! Works every time.
