Hello everyone!

If you were getting one of these yellow gold pieces, what would be your choice? I am asking because I have heard that bracket on the DayDate is less comfortable than on the sub, and also when weather change from cold to warm with easy adjustable clasp on sub you can do it easy, but with Day Date you have to add/subtract link every time. What are your thoughts? Thank you
Sorry for pictures sizing:)

Gold DD.
DD is totally on next level.

And that model is the one I'm waiting since early this year.

Zuger · 11 June 2021, 02:25 AM

Can't go wrong with either but I am leaning toward the DD with the baguette diamonds

Master_Grogu · 11 June 2021, 02:37 AM

Submariner but the blue one!

Brich436 · 11 June 2021, 02:44 AM

The all gold DD is just killer. Its an epic boss watch.

The gold Sub is the ultimate f you watch.... tool watch in solid gold! They are both cool but for different reasons.... depends on your personal style and how you will wear it.

Sub

Normally I'd say DD, but not a fan of that particular configuration, so I vote sub here.

C0d · 11 June 2021, 03:29 AM

I love the Sub. I really do.

But Day Date is a whole different club.

Day Date it is. Unless you got enough dough for a Gold Rolex set, in that case why not both?

coaxial · 11 June 2021, 03:31 AM

Of the variants listed; I would go Day-Date. Imo, the "gold Sub" to have is the 126618LB; The blue sunburst dial is stunning!

huncho · 11 June 2021, 03:50 AM

dd, especially that one

ugoblue · 11 June 2021, 03:59 AM

A YG Submariner seems to be cast against type. Not really suiting its purpose. A YG Day Date, fluted bezel and all, is classic Rolex.

WestCoastS · 11 June 2021, 04:05 AM

Dd + 1

1665fan · 11 June 2021, 04:09 AM

Sub.....I’d never take a datejust over a SS sub either.....

GolfJunkie · 11 June 2021, 04:27 AM

I vote sub!

Deep18 · 11 June 2021, 04:29 AM

The sub in stainless is an icon. But if we’re talking gold, few pieces are as sweet as a DD.

ROBERT1183 · 11 June 2021, 04:31 AM

full gold Sub blue dial for me!!

nosignalbmwdriver · 11 June 2021, 04:42 AM

sub for maximum hoeing

David5807 · 11 June 2021, 05:34 AM

The Sub in my opinion is more versatile and affordable.

yesnaya · 11 June 2021, 05:49 AM

Of these 2 choices, sub. I dont like diamonds, and i like lume. So pretty easy.

If it was the blue dial all-gold sub, and any other daydate, it would be the blue sub.

If it was this black dial all-gold sub and say the diagonal motif YG day date (has lume, and no diamonds), I'd go with the day date.

HogwldFLTR · 11 June 2021, 05:53 AM

I've owned two DD, two Subs (SS), and a SD4K. I must admit that the DDs didn't stick but both were 36mms; the Subs didn't stick either. For me the DDs just are too obviously extravagant where as the Sub appears to be a dive watch (which it is). Water sports watches fit my life style better. I really love the 40mm DDs but I won't buy one; I don't need another failed Day Date purchase. As far as Subs are concerned I'm hoping for a TT Bluesy (126613LB) one of these days but I'm in no rush.

prnceofpersia23 · 11 June 2021, 06:00 AM

Both awesome, voted DD.

Hard_Six · 11 June 2021, 06:10 AM

DD for sure!!

trematix · 11 June 2021, 08:12 AM

I actually sold my YG DD40 and ended up buying a 116618LB, no regrets. To me the Sub is much more versatile in my day to day. I dress casually for work, tee shirt and jeans and the sub fits perfectly. Can you dress down a DD40? Sure but not as much as a Sub.

rmlovett1 · 11 June 2021, 08:24 AM

I’d vote sub out of those two. That configuration of DD isn’t my style. But there is no wrong choice here, both are stunning YG pieces.

peterpl · 11 June 2021, 09:31 AM

Hardest decision you will make ever in your life. I just solved that issue by buying both. These two will never leave my collection.

johnorpheus · 11 June 2021, 09:34 AM

Sub, and I actually like the black and yellow gold combo best if your going to go full yellow gold.

FTX I · 11 June 2021, 09:55 AM

If you worry about adjustment you can't beat the Sub with a glidelock clasp. The best clasp on the market IMHO. On the other hand, the DD has a hidden clasp that makes the bracelet look a bit too feminine for my taste, not to mention zero adjustment, so the Sub would be an obvious choice for me. All that in my humble view of course.

t65tampa · 11 June 2021, 10:03 AM

I’ve got both. Submariner is more useable and adjustable clasp is nice. Day Date is more beautiful. Both are fantastic to wear.

mg18 · 11 June 2021, 10:11 AM

DD for me in terms of model, but if between the black combos, probably sub. I wouldn't go for a black dial DD personally.
