Personally I am going with the 116618lb this time around. Earlier this year I owned the 116719blro. I decided that white gold was a little too bling at work (pcls) and a little too understated in the evening. So i decided to go with a Tudor for work and some yellow gold in the evening. The Tudor should be here Monday and the 116618lb in February (has to be ordered in). Feel free to post any 116618 pics to help make the wait easier

.

I am curious, if you were to choose between yellow and white gold sub which would you pick? Do we have more yellow gold or white gold fans on TRF?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Josh

Have been a 619 fan, but it looks too anemic compared to the 618, so I'll go 618.

yellow gold in general for me

but smurf out of the 2 gold subs

AK797 · 4 December 2016, 04:28 AM

Sunburst dial for me.

In most cases I prefer white gold, but this is not one. The 618lb is gorgeous

Just me, but I'd go for the DayDate in yellow gold over either of these two choices.

Chadridv · 4 December 2016, 04:45 AM

For your situation I'd go YG!

RichM · 4 December 2016, 04:46 AM

WG for me.

I do really like the Sunburst Dial and had it on my TT, which is now gone.

BNA/LION · 4 December 2016, 04:46 AM

116618lb (blusey)

Jp28 · 4 December 2016, 04:48 AM

From those two I would go WG, but if it was the black face/bezel YG option, then it become a very difficult decision.

G.D.BeanCounter · 4 December 2016, 04:50 AM

Between these two, I would go yellow. However, if I were going to do an all gold sports watch my first pick would likely be the GMT with green anniversary dial.

branman1986 · 4 December 2016, 04:51 AM

I voted for the smurf :)

henry333 · 4 December 2016, 04:53 AM

Think I'll go yellow.. But with white, I can wear it a lot more like a SS watch.

Castiel · 4 December 2016, 05:30 AM

YG after seeing the side by side and that beautiful close up shot.

aekdb · 4 December 2016, 05:32 AM

WG for me. Just not a yg kind of guy

jeffgo888 · 4 December 2016, 05:34 AM

nothing beats Rolex Gold..:)...

tkerrmd · 4 December 2016, 05:49 AM

I got the YG first, added the WG, and had both for quite some time. Now I only have the WG

big congrats!!

Lordofrolex · 4 December 2016, 06:34 AM

Love yellow gold but prefer the flat dial on the smurf. I know they made a flat dial yg sub version. But there a little harder to find.

Ritch99 · 4 December 2016, 06:56 AM

For me, Smurf all the way...

Yellow gold does not look good on me.

Cheers!

Racerdj · 4 December 2016, 07:05 AM

Several started with the WG and progressed to the YG. Had both but settled on the YG Sunburst!

locutus49 · 4 December 2016, 07:20 AM

I prefer silver tones, but whatever you prefer: go for it.

1st amg · 4 December 2016, 07:25 AM

I had the 116619 as I wanted an all gold piece without the in your face look. I love the 116619 for that. But about six months later, the love of gold and its weight got me thinking about a full yellow gold. So I bought the 116618 and love it just as much. Both amazing pieces, that I use often depending on the mood. Tough choice. Have fun with it.

YG Bluesy for me anytime anywhere...

The combination of YG and the blue sunburst dial is
just captivating !!!! Pure Bliss!!!

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ Agree with both....I've had both. Now have WG and PT. Had the YG Skydweller first, then the YG Sub, then YG DD40. I've had TT, and very comfortable with that, but I found the full gold a bit too much. If I were to do it again, i would get the DD 40 again. I do love the YG though, but for now it's SS, PT, or WG.

brandrea · 4 December 2016, 07:41 AM

Both are stunning, but I feel the WG suits a submariner batter than YG.

The Smurf just doesn't measure up to this! Yellow Gold Sunburst 24/7/365.

WAK4 · 4 December 2016, 08:18 AM

Yellow gold for me is absolute last choice...definitely smurf for me!

Rolex addict · 4 December 2016, 08:21 AM

For me, yellow gold is too flashy.

sechsgang · 4 December 2016, 08:28 AM

I actually don't care for the smurf that much, but mainly because its one of the only white gold watches that really looks no different than a standard stainless to me with brushed PCLS (can't describe why I don't feel this way about a WG daytona)...so if you're going to go for it, going for the yellow in this (and maybe only this case) is the way to go. I like the blue dial for this application...just seems richer to me (as in of quality and style, not in $$$ appearance)
