My thoughts:

I would pick Yellow Gold. Altho, yellow can be seen as tacky sometimes.

I have to agree with "Wrist Candys" Comment... Depends completely on your skin tone.

My wife tried on TONS of watches before Valentines day... Her skin tone and the Rose Gold... It looked SO BAD.

Both look great, but I'd go for the yellow gold.

I take it you have passed on the GMT2. That would have been my CLEAR choice. With either the green or black dial the GMT2 is a killer piece. LOVE it !

Not a huge Daytona fan. Of the two pictured, yellow gold.

Agree on the rose gold, it doesn't stand out too much (in a bad way)

The red hand of the YG pushes me to the YG choice. Good luck deciding!

Tough choice - try both on, see which one sings to you most.

Ok that watch looks gorgeous....yup, just made it more confusing now. Anyone have a ER wrist shot?

Don't know if any of you noticed this but the newman dial on the YG has Rolex lettering in white whereas the lettering on the ER is in gold which matches the Rolex crown on the 12 hour. I think the gold lettering on the dial just adds a nice touch.

Best I could find on google. I still think Rolex needs to add some dial options, as the black and "pink" dial are way too plain.

I also think that rose gold looks feminine. I prefer YG.

I wouldn't go by the picture. I would try them both on... Some colors look better in a picture than on your wrist and also it depends on your personality.

I prefer the yellow gold . My father in law has the yellow gold and its really flashy !!! If you want the effect then yellow gold if you want a little more discreet the rose gold .
Just my opinion but the are both beautiful

What do you think?
