Based on your pictures, YG looks better on you.

YG for me. The PN matt dial is the clincher.

I've tried the RG dial one.... didn't like it at all.

IMO: Tan/Darker skin = RG. No color = YG. That said, I want both.

Both are gorgeous, I think the Full RG is a bit too much ? For RG I like the everrose with strap and ceramic bezel and brown dial.

YG all the way.

I agree - usually darker/tanned skin suits yellow gold more.

It really is a tough one Joey - how did they both feel when you put them on? Which one are you thinking about more? Do the test of rapid fire questions.....

Ask someone to ask you any questions...easy to answer related to your preferences...so: Which you like best:

"Do you like beef or chicken"?
"Do you like the Hot or cold"

and so on...

Ater 3-4 mins of these rapid fire...immediate responses a must...they throw in yellow or rose gold....

Let us know what happens.....

At first blush the rose gold may look alluring.

Rose gold is essentially 'pink' in colour for what that is worth ladies enjoy. apart from that it looks like copper to me.

Yellow Gold is 'real' gold, its the natural colour of gold. Keep it real and go for the PN 18K YG. You can't go wrong.

I like the dial on the RG, but would prefer YG in general. I like the suggestion above- get a YG with the RG dial. Assuming that combo is available.

I'm surprised the poll is so close--- I figured the PN would be the easy run away.

I think the 116505 (RG) Daytona looks a bit better on you, as the case is a bit thicker

I normally prefer RG, but I think the YG looks good on you.
