White gold....which has the most pop?

Fun simple poll...

Parameters:

White gold
40mm +
6 digit model

1. BLRO
2. Submariner
3. Daytona
4. DD

Maybe thoughts why as well...

Contrast of bezel/dial
Bracelet
Just the Dial
Just the bezel, etc......

For me it's the blue of the dial and bezel. I love it on the BLNR too but there is more of it on the WG Sub.

The ever so slight yellow hew of the case and bracelet too is just a touch warmer than SS.

It has to be the day date on this one....the fluted bezel is really catchy in any sort of light.

The Smurf WG is stunning. The yellow tint in certain lights is the only way the non Rolex enthusiasts would know its special. I like that flashy but yet not flashy character of this sub.

I think the smurf might have the initial eye catch over a DD, but DD will seduce you into a long hypnotic stare!

I would imagine the DD. Those fluted bezels catch the light beautifully.

It would be between the smurf and the DD for me...slight edge to the DD for the bracelet and fluted bezel.

The DD has a lot of Formal Pop!

The Submariner, (The Smurf) has a lot of Sports Pop!

The BLRO has lots of Heft Flying Pop!

And the Daytona has lots of Race Pop!

any questions...?

As far as pop, definitely the DD. The Smurf and BLRO are more stealth

Between BLRO and the DD...wooooof. That’s a hard one.
One of those is the best, for sure.
I hate to say it, but I guess DD wins for the long haul.
If you wear the BLRO you would not know what day it is.
That gives DD the slightest edge.
