i went for white gold, best of both worlds =)

greg1983 · 27 August 2013, 11:51 AM

Naw, she is just a WG person. But you gotta mix it up to keep it interesting! I do like the WG sub, but for some reason I think that as a daily wear would be harder to match than YG. It is a cool blue though

It's an AMAZING Piece but I wouldn't wear it as a daily. 18K is way to soft to be worn as a daily watch

....plus it attracts way too much attention...be careful where you wear it! I would suggest getting a SS Rolex for daily wear.

. . . . ..this is my rotation for during the week......

I wore 18k YG Subs daily for years, without any soft gold problems.

I keep saying it...

This is why you need WG and/or platinum Rolexes as well. Renders the need for modern steel pointless! Vintage and precious metal's where it's at baby!!

I tend to think gold pieces look better on leather straps, but I'm with the young crowd...

Yinger · 27 August 2013, 01:11 PM

What's considered young? I'm 32 and love my TT sub

krieves · 27 August 2013, 01:16 PM

Yellow gold is so classic, it will never go out of style. SS has a few things going for it. It's cheaper than gold, it's more durable, and it has a more casual look.

No. I loved my GMT yg
I mean loved

But it's way too flashy for me

iLLGT2 · 27 August 2013, 01:47 PM

No way.

They look pretty special indeed, however, not for me…

I wound up going for a sporty gold piece (rose gold rubber clad AP) and its new still sitting in the box lol… Some people love gold, some do not..

jshepard · 27 August 2013, 02:54 PM

No, steel is still my preferred metal for any watch made for rigorous activity. I'm hoping to explore the luxurious world of YG later on in life, but preferably on a JLC Master Control or Reverso Classique on leather strap.

Joearch · 27 August 2013, 03:20 PM

I am new to Rolex and really like the SS Sub. TT or solid YG don't appeal to me....some how too much bling. Maybe a 18K DD.

jojosnr · 27 August 2013, 03:32 PM

errr.... No

redsea10021 · 27 August 2013, 03:37 PM

YG is always beautiful, it is one of my weaknesses; that and fried food!

CJ01 · 27 August 2013, 05:50 PM

I love YG. I'm 38 and got married nearly 2 years ago and whilst my wife wanted her ring and engagement ring to be in platinum, I chose 18k yellow gold. It does present me with a slight difficulty though as I like my watch to match my wedding ring (slightly anal like that, as many of us are). So, this means that when I am able to finally purchase (upcoming house move, renovation and recently born baby daughter permitting) it will have to be a TT Daytona (as seen in my Avatar) or maybe even my grail YG Daytona on strap as seen in NickNG's recent crazy two incoming Daytona thread from last week. I love YG and although I'm not sure I would use a full gold piece for daily wear as might be a bit much, the black leather just tones it down slightly. I think YG is hot with the younger crowd now.

travisb · 27 August 2013, 06:30 PM

SS will always be #1. Just feels like it's ready for anything.
YG is beautiful, but I reserve it for nicer occasions.

Griever369 · 27 August 2013, 06:38 PM

Have loved gold even from a young age. Not for what it implies just the color. 25 and got a half rose gold. Still love gold. Those that say gold is old fashioned IMO it just implies they don't know how to dress in a classy way to compliment the gold.

Buy what you like but do not confuse the two.

No, YG can never be anything but YG...which is pretty amazing IMO.

cyberxgamerhd · 27 August 2013, 10:42 PM

Nah bro stell is the best!

I love YG and makes watch very special and amazing at ANY age, always go with YG if you can swing it, dont listen to the haters

samson66 · 28 August 2013, 01:50 AM

I thing YG only works well with he deessier watches. Sport watches look better in SS or WG in my opinion. As mentioned above a yellow gold watch is going to draw a lot of attention, and I don't mean the good kind of attention.

s14roller · 28 August 2013, 01:56 AM

My wife also hated YG on me. RG seems to be a bit more attractive.

T01 · 28 August 2013, 02:07 AM

In short, no. YG is a huge price spike and most rolex enthusiasts still rather enjoy SS, I know I do. However, this will not hold me back from going YG one day.

Keaofosu · 28 August 2013, 02:16 AM

Steel is tough and practical...tool worthy. Gold is elegant and glorious...jewel worthy. Enjoy it all!
