Incoming... Insanity part 3 - YG Sub 116618

My journey and dilemma since my last posting continues... http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=327028&page=1 and http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=334322

The impulse buy on the SS Daytona costing me a fortune. Looks like I'm all set after picking up both of these babies.

I love the one on the right, but would be happy with the one on the left.

Holy Smokes, another beautiful pair to choose from, can't go wrong with either. For gold YG I would go for black. WG I would go blue. Confuse yourself more and try the YG Gmt lol!
Good luck deciding

I had the same dilemma, finally went with the YG Sub C with the blue dial and I don't regret a single second of ownership

Whoah. You and I appear to have a lot in common.

And I'd go blue in this situation. You already have the conservative safe call, go with the zest of the blue.

Love the gold subs!! Especially the black because I love the white contrasting writing on the dial.

I like the black a little more, but I have fond memories with a TT Blue, which I lost back in 1997 and had to pick one up as well.

Both are awesome, however I would go with the black as that blue is very bright along with the YG. Just too bright for my taste...need sunglasses to check the time. LOL!!!! Plus the bright blue might not go with so many clothing options. Black goes with everything.

Go with white gold if you want the blue. Looks better IMHO.

Wow what a collection you've amassed lately. So let me get this straight. You have acquired the following
1. White dial Daytona
2. Everose Daytona
3. Everose Day-Date
4. Black dial yellow gold Sub
5. Blue dial yellow gold Sub

All in a short time! What you've done most will never achieve in a lifetime. Or at least me anyway! Lol. Congrats. I am positively jealous..
