Which day date

Would love your thoughts on which Day-Date to go for from among the two below. Both gorgeous. Seeking input on wearability, exclusivity and general collection thoughts.

Yellow gold, green ombre dial, 40 mm
Rose gold, olive dial, 40 mm

Thank you in advance

I think the YG/green dial is a little too in-your-face if you know what I mean. The RG/olive is a beautiful combo and doesn't seem like it's out to prove anything.

So RG is my choice. If you're just out to impress your friends maybe the YG would get more attention.

The RG / Olive dial is one of my favorite combos in the DD line.

I’ve shifted my thinking over the years when it comes to the DD. I’d go YG, especially with this dial

Between those two specifically, the RG Olive dial for me; looks classier to me, and typically I'm a YG guy through and through.

For your first DD, it should YG.

You can grow the DD collection from there.

I have the rose gold olive, bot it a year ago. I absolutely love it. wear it to work and on special occasions, gym, whatever. I have about 7-8 watches all up and admit to babying this one a bit. I like keeping it for special occasions. I'm really into rose. mind you yellow green ombre would be epic too.

Not exact comparison but close. I went with the rose and glad I did.

Which day date

I know it's not in the running, but I love the way the WG flies under the radar.

If I was going to get a DD it would be one of those two combos but I'd have to try each on to pick I think.

From pictures I like the YG/Green the best but not sure that would translate onto my wrist from experience.

From those two choices, the YG. The RG w/ombre dial would be another story.

Yg ombré is next level if you don’t mind a wow factor. I’d buy to look at not wear. I’m a wg guy personally but this thing took my breathe away

Rose + olive for me. The YG + green are great, but that combo is just too flashy for me...

This one. It’s super versatile. In low lighting it’s almost black. In the sun it’s fun.

Ombre dial is beautiful, but I would choose the Everose/Olive over it. My personal favorite DD is YG with the green lacquer dial and deconstructed Romans.
