Yachtmaster 2 steel or steel and rose gold?

Which looks better, given price is not an issue. Just the aesthetics.

This is one watch I really like in TT. The RG really pops on it and makes a nice difference. Either way both nice watches.

Was going to say the same thing. This watch looks good in all its iterations but really pops in two tone.

I was faced with the same choice a few months ago. However, I found that although both watches look fantastic, much depends on whether the rose gold suits your skin tone. For me it didn't, so I went for the steel version.

Two tone, all the way. RG works really nice in two tone. Especially in
YM II. Looks really special. As far as SS looks nice in IMO but nothing incredible, as stated the two tone YMII is awesome
also very versatile & durable. As we post I have 3 favorite two tones RG YMII, TT Sub Bluesy Sunburst dial & Daytona Panda. Though
Daytona panda might have an edge esthetically on Bluesy it wont be as durable as Bluesy due to worry free wearing with Ceramic & semi flute absorbing
most of impact and looking new for years to come if thats and issues for you, but #1 on two tone list is YMII RG as it as
durable as Bluesy but also the RG semi flute make its pop much more that SS version.
Two Tone Panda can be a scratch magnet if not carefully tender too. Good Luck.

I'm with you Ken. I'm not a TT guy but the RG on the YMii Really is sharp!

I tired a SS on last weekend. Surprised how well it fit for my wrist. The SS yacht master 2 is on my list to get in the future.

I personally like the SS version more. I'm not a two tone guy at all.

I've had both. Loved the TT, but, the SS is one of my favorite watches. Ever.
