Which would you rather?

Ok, so I was recently deciding between a 16618 and a yellow gold Day Date.

I went with the Day Date (18038), with the intention that I could always "upgrade" further down the line. No regrets at all its a beautiful watch and I love it, I can't see myself getting rid of it.

But, more for fun, which would you rather (since both options come out around the same price).

A) Keep the 18038 and buy a 16613 (SEL/engraved rehaut)
B) Trade the 18038 (with cash) for a 16618 (SEL/engraved rehaut)

Am not a YG fan, but from those 2 probably would pick the Sub as it is more versatile

YG Sub 16618

I had a Z series with the engraved rehaute, and regret selling it.

Option 3. Keep DD and get a YM..... Never Mind, it appears the 16628 has jumped in price to upwards of 17k and is inline with 16618 now.
