RG Daytona Photos requested

Dear Friends...

I am really considering trading my YG Daytona (for sale) for a RG or WG Daytona...

Would love to see some photo's and wrist shots of the RG if you have it...

Thank you... here is my YG...

While I do not own a RG Daytona yet, I've decided that it will be my next Rolex, with the black dial. That being said, your YG is beautiful as well!

Thanks for your input... The YG Daytona really catches the eye, and that is why I was thinking RG or WG.

Cheers!

Your YG Daytona is a beautiful piece but if you want something else I'd go with RG over WG for sure!

Having said that, I'm afraid I do not own one so I cannot help you...

RG>WG IMHO just because the WG looks basically like SS other than the dials. I love the RG RG models.

I wish I could wear a rose gold watch; no matter what brand I try, rose gold always looks terrible with my skin tone.

Thank you all for you kind input...

I'll be honest... I think I am spending too much time on this wonderful web site and as a result start to obsess about more watches...

I love both the YG and the RG... I think a major deciding factor is how they look against your skin tone. The YG does look sharp on you...

Rg!!!

I will say that I really like the YG version you currently own but my favorite of all the Daytonas is the RG (both dial options).

Please say it isn't so?!?!? Kevin, forget the RG and WG versions, though the other metals are nice, that YG Daytona you have is the one to own and KEEP!

I am thinking of a Daytona 18k. How bad do they attract scratches etc? The bezel looks like a real scratch-magnet.

My share...



Keep the YG. I think it looks great as well.

Get another RG... Say AP, PP or RM.
