Hello y'all first time poster here! I'm stuck between 2 watches. The YG black luminous dial vs the RG chocolate dial. I'm a 32 yr old Asian male. Your thoughts greatly appreciated. Have a good day

Tools · 15 November 2015, 01:06 PM

Personal choice I would say...

I wouldn't wear a Rose Gold anything..

watchwatcher · 15 November 2015, 01:09 PM

I think legibility-wise, the YG would have a slight edge. But that chocolate dial is amazing...

RHIII · 15 November 2015, 01:32 PM

Out of those 2 --- it would be YG. For me.

KeithP · 15 November 2015, 01:36 PM

Yellow gold. Gold is yellow.

zama · 15 November 2015, 01:41 PM

I am going to go with YG soon I hope but I prefer a Newman dial

WhatTheDeuce · 15 November 2015, 01:52 PM

I, too, am Asian. Not sure why that matters, but I chose YG.

Many will disagree with me but RG seems trendy to me. YG is classic.

GerardoG · 15 November 2015, 02:03 PM

Both!!!!

JJDONTPL4Y · 15 November 2015, 02:11 PM

Thanks for all the replies. I think the first picture I posted of the chocolate didn't do it justice. What u guys think?

Al1969 · 15 November 2015, 02:11 PM

Go with the yellow gold.

I'm a half Asian male, also not sure why that matters, but I like the RG.

I said Asian because different golds go better with certain skin tones. That's all.

DeeTee · 15 November 2015, 02:25 PM

Everose for me. One of the main reasons is because I prefer the font on the bezel compare to the YG and SS models.

I knew what you meant. Rose gold is my vote. I tried both options on Daytona and DD40 and Rose won each time for me. White Gold, now that's a different discussion. Stunning wrist shot btw

gummy · 15 November 2015, 02:43 PM

Of the pictured watches - I like RG option.

luvsub · 15 November 2015, 02:51 PM

YG for me.

rollee1 · 15 November 2015, 02:55 PM

YG is class and classic.
RG is a bit metro for me unless I score a one hit wonder.

DenaliHD · 15 November 2015, 02:59 PM

The RG on a strap or band just does something for me.... YG on bracelet.

Eric Chan · 15 November 2015, 03:03 PM

As much as I love yellow gold, for a Daytona, Everose Gold will always be my choice.

DCheeta · 15 November 2015, 03:11 PM

There's just something amazingly beautiful about RG Daytonas.

joeswatchstraps · 15 November 2015, 03:12 PM

Yellow gold hands down. Rose gold is trendy right now but yellow gold is classic.

el1125 · 15 November 2015, 03:15 PM

On the watch , yellow gold hands down. Too bad more watch companies don't use more of it on their contemporary watches..

tkerrmd · 15 November 2015, 03:19 PM

I had both before I went to the platinum Daytona and both are very special pieces.

My wife really loved the RG and wore it more than I did

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

I prefer this dial for the RG......

77T · 15 November 2015, 03:24 PM

Yellow gold IMHO - but I'd go with a strapped model.

I had both and would still go Everose. Rolex did a perfect job on that. Depending on lighting, its sometimes yellow, copper, red or rose gold.

sickened1 · 15 November 2015, 03:55 PM

RG chocolate dial gets my vote.

paolo14 · 15 November 2015, 09:18 PM

Rose gold black or chocolate dial is next on my list.

Racerdj · 15 November 2015, 09:35 PM

Welcome to the forum! Great problem to have. My skin is somewhat tan year round and I can get away with RG without being noticed. You skin color will dictate whether the RG takes on a pinkish tint. Fortunately mine does not. Readability might be an issue with some sub dials.

travisb · 15 November 2015, 09:51 PM

That chocolate dial looks fantastic! If I were to go with YG, the Newman dial would be the only way to go.
