18238 vs 18248 36mm yellow gold day-date

[R-Star]

Hey Everybody, I have been considering biting the bullet and getting a 5 digit day-date. However, I am concerned the yellow gold will be a little too flashy for me. In debating between yellow gold and white gold, I noticed the 18248 with the bark band and bezel is little more subdued. Would anybody have 2 cents they care to share about this? Mainly curious if it is still a bit of bling or if the lack of polished surfaces makes it a little more 'under the radar', if a yellow gold Rolex can be. Thank you.
