Opinions please - YG YM2 or WG YM2?

Hi all - need some opinions - deciding between a YG YM2 or WG YM2.

I like both - YG for its weekend loudness or WG for daily understatement ...would appreciate views.

I know some plainly dislike the YM2...but it is growing on me.

I'd go with the WG all day long. YG just a little too flashy and formal for me...

White gold is much classier IMHO. Personally I don't care much for the YM2 as it's too loud and way too big for my tastes. But if I had to have one, it would be the less obtrusive white gold model. 18k white is beautiful stuff. Far nicer than the 14k junk we have in America.

For any other watch decision, I'd go WG/plat all day over YG. For the YMII, I find I like the YG much more.

Welcome. If you want a gold watch it should be yellow if you want a white precious metal watch it should be platinum.

WG for me...
i think the YG has too many colors -- the YG, the white face, the blue, then the red colors... all, IMO, not as cohesive as the WG "color scheme"...
