Was asked which sport YG Rolex would be a best first PM model to start with. Options were a Daytona (green dial), a Sub with blue dial, a GMT or YM2.

Thanks

My vote was Daytona.

Sub/blue dial is a stunning yellow gold timepiece. I recommend it. I would own it if my kids were out of college. (Or a DD, or a YG sky Dweller lol)

AK797 · 24 June 2017, 10:44 AM

Depends on functions and dial colour, I've owned 3 of those as gold models and the Blue Subc is my fave.

RichM · 24 June 2017, 11:15 AM

I don't own one, but if I did it, would be the 116618. That Sunburst Blue Dial is stunning.

Hard_Six · 24 June 2017, 11:16 AM

I would personally go with the 116618LB

Yzord · 24 June 2017, 11:17 AM

Green dial of course

For gold go with a 36mm day date. You won't regret it. For some sporty flash get a TT bluesy, it rocks. Just my opinion and I am biased as that's what I did. Do what YOU want to do....
Cheers!

Green dial GMT is stunning.

Gotwire · 24 June 2017, 01:30 PM

I think size might have a lot to do with choice. The YM2 wears very different than a Daytona with Sub and GMT in the middle in my experience.

AMCK87 · 24 June 2017, 01:34 PM

Green dial Daytona for sure

YM II, normally I would say Daytona but not a fan of green dials sorry

Etschell · 24 June 2017, 10:04 PM

Why not try the daytona with blue dial

"A best first PM model to start with" is the one you like the most. Isn't that kind of obvious?

It's not like one is objectively "better" than the rest.

1William · 24 June 2017, 10:27 PM

I would go with the PM Submariner-C. I like the 116618 LB with the Sunburst dial. Great watch.

nick c · 24 June 2017, 10:32 PM

How about a sky dweller gold

I'm disappointed that you didn't post an enabling picture

OP the YG Sub hands down would be my choice of the three you mentioned

kilyung · 24 June 2017, 10:38 PM

I'd recommend picking a specific model first then think about the metal.

watchwatcher · 25 June 2017, 12:24 AM

In PM, I tend to prefer the sub and GMT over the Daytona or YM2.

The Daytona bezel marks up so easily it just breaks my heart to wear it, and I wear my watches. The YM2 is perhaps the most visually stunning, however, it is at such an awkward size that I found getting a decent fit almost impossible.

As far as the sub and GMT...pretty much a toss up IMO. For me, it would be the sub in YG and GMT in WG.

tonupbklyn · 25 June 2017, 12:35 AM

i'm expecting delivery soon on my first full gold piece - decided to go with a perennial classic, YG DD36, silver dial with older stick indices.

my JLC reverso grande ultra thin in rose gold was my first try at this precious metal. by design, i went with a strapped piece that was also small enough to not warrant a lot of attention. the gold has grown on me for sure, thus my desire to try a full bracelet piece.

the DD was my first and only choice because it is small enough and will forever be a classic...will never go out of style.

Muzz · 25 June 2017, 12:39 AM

The YM II is straight up Baller. It has a ton of wrist presence but it got old on me quite quickly.

Sub LB or Daytona would be my pick.

So true.

De facto "sport" and "YG" are mutual exclusive...

This maybe......
