Yellow gold Only

Is there any one out here who exclusively ONLY owns yellow gold watches (more than 1)? If yes why and how's your experience?

I really enjoy the rotation. WG, RG and YG. They are all different.

Two YGs. I just prefer the luster and warmth.

well actually i have the DDII in yellow gold (which was the only metal i liked in the DDII), and I'm also in love with the GMT Master II 116718 G. Now to get the GMT i will have to flip my existing TT Sub and will end up with 2 gold timepieces. so contemplating that, which is why I'm asking

I prefer yellow gold, the warmth, the texture, the taste of it....I don't need to spend 30 grand on a watch that looks like SS.

Two YG pieces are fine, esp when one is dressier and one sportier, plus your sub is already half YG already.

1503 date yellow gold and 16528 yellow gold. out of the 5 rolex watches I seem to gravitate towards the gold ones. Nothing like a pound of gold on your wrist.

Yellow gold pieces 4
Rose Gold 2

White gold....never

I love the color of gold and the way it contrasts with dials.

Rose gold is my only exception.

Nothing else except platinum.

You sure your gold piece isn't a fugazi?
