YG vs RG on your wrist

Does anyone have any side by side photos of YG and RG Rolex models on their wrist to check out what looks better? Interested to see how they compare on various skin tones.

I have a lighter skin tone, anything YG I tried didn't look right on me, RG all the way



Not Rolex but my IWC 7 day, I slightly prefer their RG tone to Rolex Everose

Wow, I sure love your bracelets and YG Daytona with green dial.

I love both YG and RG.

Thanks mate! The bracelets are RG, but they can appear almost like YG in different lighting.

Rose gold looks too much like bronze or copper; yellow gold all the way, regardless of your skin color.

I love Rose Gold, and it really pops in certain light. In other light, it literally looks like copper. I would say identical to a copper penny. Side-by-side to a copper penny they match.

YG and RG looks good on light skin tones. Pick whichever you like. I love both but Rolex RG as mentioned above looks too copperish in alot of lighting. AP/Patek Rose is the BEST.

YG


RG

I like both on my skin, but yellow is definitely the favourite.

The way RG can look YG "ish" in certain light settings or from afar....I really need to go try them on. I'm basically sold on a YG DD, but that olive dial RG is very appealing....and it makes me question how sold I am on YG...especially since I have a slight hesitation about the flashiness of a YG watch...but I wear and rock my bluesy regularly so maybe I'm just way overthinking it. :)
