WG. Feel the weight but go stealth. Trust me on this. I was in the WG looks like SS camp before I actually bought one. It is different and awesome in color.

If I were going to get one it would be white gold.

I do not care for yellow gold at all.

After a good bit of deliberation, I went with YG.
But this is all about you, there must be one you prefer?

WG for me but they both look great so it is up to you and taste is personal! Cheers,



PS. Both blue and black YG great choices of course so 3 solid options. Again all are winners in my book and I would be happy with any of them!

Very, very different look, style and image.......

If you can wear YG then visually you will get the most bang for your buck with YG......

But for me, WG is the understated master.....and that blue with WG is absolutely sublime.....

WG is the "flagship" Sub (based on msrp) and I think that aesthetically, white precious metal is a better fit for a classic diver's watch because it looks similar to its SS siblings. I also love the versatility of the watch because I find it can be worn in many situation where I would personally be uncomfortable with a YG version.

Save the YG for the GMTIIC.

Personally, I'd go with the WG, no diamonds.

Now, if I was going to go YG I'd go black dial. But if I was going to do that I'd go with the GMT...

So that brings me right back to the WG.
