Hello All!
I have been a long time visitor on TRF and this is my first post. I am in the market for a yellow gold rolex/watch to add to my collection and would like to hear your opinion on which to purchase to complement my collection the best. Of course the ultimate decision should be the watch that sings to me the most, but I'd like to see what people think. I am deciding between 118238 DD (champagne dial, stick markers), 116718 ln, 116718 green, 116618 ln, Lange 1? (out of leftfield I know). As of now, I'm leaning towards the black dial 116718, but still not sure. I normally dress business casual if that helps. Any other suggestions (35k limit, 42mm limit)?

Current Collection:

Omega Speedmaster Professional 3570.5,
Rolex Submariner 16610
Jaeger Le-Coultre Master Control Reserve de Marche (steel)
Audemars Piguet 15300st (black dial)

Thanks A Lot!

Solo118 · 18 October 2012, 07:56 AM

I love the green GMT in YG!

I would also suggest the Sub w/blue dial... wow

boogiebot · 18 October 2012, 07:57 AM

i think a YG sub C or GMT 2C would be awesome with your current line up. im leaning more towards the YG GMT2C as well

nauticajoe · 18 October 2012, 08:22 AM

Welcome!

I'd be leaning towards a DD with that kind of budget.

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 October 2012, 08:28 AM

Although I (still) don't have the funds, I've always been craving for a YG Rolex...

First, my grail gold Rolex was the Day-Date 118238 (with a silver "sticks" dial... I've mentioned this before here) but in the long run I think I'd appreciate the GMT II 116718LN more due to the bigger size, added GMT feature and the Easylink that the Day-Date doesn't have..

Polemic · 18 October 2012, 08:45 AM

Black or green GMT2C.

brkanand · 18 October 2012, 08:49 AM

GMT. Dial does not matter IMO

brkanand · 18 October 2012, 08:50 AM

Forgot ....Welcome to TRF !!

Sam Philip · 18 October 2012, 09:46 AM

I would go for YG Sub C with a blue dial

landroverking · 18 October 2012, 09:49 AM

Buy a pre-owned Sub Bluesy. Not your cup of tea go DD both are true classics and timeless.

Rex312 · 18 October 2012, 09:52 AM

YG DDII. Either the champagne dial with Roman numerals or the black dial with black Arabic numerals. Check them out. Once you do, you won't want to go back to the 36mm DD.

Slider817 · 18 October 2012, 11:08 AM

Daytona with a leather strap is just gorgeous.

The DD II is good choice also.

nice collection!

$35K limit is a kid in a candy store budget for a new rolex! walk in and ask them to leave you alone while you try everything on! me? i'd do a daytona on leather. done.

Sixshooter · 18 October 2012, 11:16 AM

Lange 1 in left field? Heck no! That would be my choice by a long shot out of those you listed. Although very different from the others obviously.

sdg1871 · 18 October 2012, 11:45 AM

The YG Daytona with champagne or black Paul Newman dial. I love mine. And within your money and size requirements.

I have the 116718 (green faced GMT II-C) and the 218238 (DayDate II). While I wear the GMT a little more often, if I had to choose one it would be the 41mm DayDate. I had a 36mm DayDate and it has gotten to look rather small over time. They are all great choices though.

Bulldurham08 · 18 October 2012, 12:35 PM

not that I have it, but the YG SubC with the Blue dial/bezel is absolutely stunning. That or a Daytona would be a knockout choice...

rolexgolfer · 18 October 2012, 12:35 PM

To me nothing out classes the YG DD with a white dial and roman numerals, as far as sport YG watches the green GMT is a very fine timepiece as well.

I love the green dial YG GMTIIC also! That said, you might want a black or blue dial as it might better blend ith more outfits.

Denib · 18 October 2012, 12:44 PM

Rose Gold Daytona with leather strap is gorgeous.

Htab · 18 October 2012, 01:00 PM

Green gmt or a day date 2

Bangel · 18 October 2012, 01:47 PM

I like the YG GMT IIc.

Hairdude1 · 18 October 2012, 01:52 PM

YG GMTII gets my vote

Jede89 · 18 October 2012, 02:44 PM

Yellow gold blue sub looks awesome.. Although not sure if they still make them.. If not yellow gold GMT Master II is brilliant!

Yes they still make that and it looks great. Definitely want one.

caryyee · 18 October 2012, 07:42 PM

C'mon, in a YG, go for the GMT!

Here's some of mine to convince you!
