I think the Rose Gold version on leather in Gerardo's picture is the best looking Daytona on the market

(Excluding the Platona of course).

I have a quite light skin tone, I have the RG Daytona - RG Dial, and I think it looks awesome.

YG Daytona - Blue Dial is a killer combo though. Tried it and Dubai airport and I was dazzled.

I would go for the RG. Looks like a more modern interpretation of the daytona. The RG is cool. The Choc dial is cool. The Triangles on the tachymeter instead of dots are cool. RG is modern bling and YG is classic bling

This is almost my favorite Daytona. This with the ceramic bezel, chocolate dial, full bracelet would be the ultimate!

I would definitely go for the choco dial.

The RG arabic numbers are cool. The RG tachymeter number fonts are cool. And I like how the RG tachymeter numbers' base goes round the dial (the YG numbers are staring straight at you all the way).

RG chocolate dial gets my vote. I'm Asian and I have the Choc RG just like your picture.

That is stunning. I like the black dial over the choco IRL but both are lovely, and I too prefer the bezel numbers set up on the RG.

RG or YG Daytona?

You will find Asian skin tones go with anything. One of the many benefits. I have all golds: YG, WG, and RG. I prefer the YG Daytona.

If I was going to get one of those two again I would go with the "Paul Newman" face YG...










That is the one...Best dial IMHO and the red pops on this one!

Both beautiful, but the rose gold looks more unique. It looks positively sick; I love it.

my vote goes for yellow gold,starting to agree with the "gold is yellow" argument, that said can still understand the reasons for wanting coloured gold

Have you tried the yellow gold with the all white dial? That one is spectacular!

Hard to disagree with this one. Love the red too. In all honesty, cannot go wrong with YG or RG.

I find YG in general prone to be interpreted as ostentatious, at least in my tech sector. RG feels more sporty and modern.

The copper-look does dress down the watch and adds a young flair while not being overly boastful, and I think it looks fantastic on a Daytona and will age well.

I think you're answering your own question here. Do you wear any other jewellery that you might want to coordinate with?

Both RG and YG are great. My preference depends on the model. For Daytona on bracelet YG.

YG is pretty classy and classic. BUT! I like the varying style of the RG... I love it actually.

Both are gorgeous. The yellow gold is classic. The rose gold with chocolate dial is one of my favorites though. Chocolate dial with rose gold is just a gorgeous combination.
