Just curious which is more popular to the masses today. WG vs. YG

TSW · 5 March 2012, 06:20 AM

YG for me, But prefer the classic 36mm.

to each his own, but, for DD, prefer the 36. amazingly, for me, i think i'd even prefer it in YG. really warmed up to the gold.

Kingair · 5 March 2012, 06:36 AM

Yg !

Paladin · 5 March 2012, 06:42 AM

+1 more for yellow gold. Nothing like the color of Rolex 18k yellow gold. I am warming up to rose gold for the right watch/dial combination.

I suppose looking at a number of white and yellow gold DDII's in the secondary market and calculating an average discount from MSRP might be the most objective way to gauge popularity in the market.

Wg for me.

While my choice is probably apparent to those who have read my posts, I must say I've seen WG DDII white Romans in real life, and it was fantastic.

DCgator · 5 March 2012, 07:04 AM

Yellow gold DDII for me.

Yes, except for the bezel (and, if you want, the hands and the numbers on the dial). But it's still (i) a stainless steel watch and (ii) a Datejust II, as opposed to a white gold or yellow gold Day-Date II.

Still, it is a nice looking watch.

With respect to the OP's question, I would say yellow gold.

The GMT Master · 5 March 2012, 07:10 AM

I would have the white gold - yellow gold looks weird on my wrist

yg is to flashy;wg for me

Rollie021 · 5 March 2012, 12:13 PM

WG for me!!!

floater156 · 5 March 2012, 01:17 PM

YG for sure!!!!!! 41mm will be the way to go for the next 50 years. 36mm is too small for casual wear IMO - 41 can do both wonderfully.

Shade · 5 March 2012, 01:22 PM

YG here, but I prefer the 36mm ones sorry...

watchf · 5 March 2012, 01:22 PM

Between the two I will choose YG as personally if I want gold it should be yellow and glittery.

FeelingTheBlues · 5 March 2012, 01:42 PM

I prefer the 36 mm as well but either way my pick is the yellow gold!

general · 5 March 2012, 06:50 PM

YG for me please.

travisb · 5 March 2012, 07:34 PM

I prefer white metals usually, but on the DD I prefer YG or RG.

aandrianto · 5 March 2012, 07:39 PM

WG, more humble, YG is too bling bling for me, IMO

Gaijin · 5 March 2012, 08:11 PM

YG! Day Date!! I owned the Rose Gold Day Date with a smooth bezel 36 mm. I just could not read it.

Hope to own the YG DayDate II someday soon.
