Bingo.

Akin to dating the Selena Gomez and not being able to tell anyone about all that pleasure you're enjoying. Ever.

I had both at the same time but now only the WG

I feel it "fits in" better in any situation and is just all round more versatile

Rogdogg · 9 May 2017, 12:59 PM

WG would be my number 1 choice but Neil's picture of his YG almost pushes me over the edge every time. It's a great shot

Bigsykedaddy · 9 May 2017, 02:40 PM

The WG Sub with the flat blue dial that matches the dial perfectly is a real special piece (IMO.) That is my vote and one day I'll buy it (after my YG Day Date

)

hdfb910 · 9 May 2017, 03:31 PM

Both do have their place. I got the white gold first. I think less common and only those who know, know. I where the white most often of the two.
Can't go wrong either way

Sunburst dial. Yellow gold. See pics in WRUW from user Loevhagen(??).

I love WG. My only issue is it looks too much like SS.

wytrader · 9 May 2017, 04:16 PM

LB, like the fact that it would fly under the radar for 99.9% of people I would come across in daily life as it appears to be a steel watch with some blue.

dadonn2 · 9 May 2017, 04:43 PM

This is largely a yg vs. wg preference question. I don't understand wg for all the usual and customary reasons. That said, I'd love to see the sunburst blue on the wg version. My pick is for the 116618 all day.

gwalker · 9 May 2017, 04:49 PM

I love the Smurf but imho doesn't beat this. (Borrowed pic)

I chose WG. It was the one Rolex I have always lusted after. I wasn't as big of a fan of the blue on the YG. I would love to add a YG Rolex but would probably opt for the GMT.

Hodog16 · 9 May 2017, 08:38 PM

Actually after wearing WG enough you learn how to tell it versus stainless pretty well, even in pictures on this forum.

bardm · 9 May 2017, 08:48 PM

If I was to get a YG sub it had to be the black dial / besel.

Cheers Neil! Praise indeed coming from the man who takes some of the best on the forum!!

Racerdj · 9 May 2017, 08:58 PM

I have owned both but the WG was just a stepping stone to the YG. Both are winners!

1William · 9 May 2017, 09:00 PM

I like both but would go with the 116618 LB first. I have owned a few of them and it is a great watch. The WG Sub is on my short list but it will be a second or third PM watch, not the first.

DLRIDES · 9 May 2017, 09:18 PM

WG looks like SS, what's the point ?

That's exactly the point, to me. Everyone is different.

Any WIS will know exactly what it is and the general public will just assume it is another submariner, if they even notice.

If you are looking to save a couple of bucks go YG.

1st amg · 9 May 2017, 09:56 PM

Tough call....my first PM sub was the 116619, which I still have and love.

After owning it for about a year I was ready for a yellow gold. I chose the 116618LN and this watch I adore.

If I were to do it all over again I would not change a thing in my graduation of sorts to the yellow gold sub. I felt the smurf prepared me in a way for the full yellow gold sub.

mjclark32 · 9 May 2017, 10:29 PM

I've gone back and forth a lot. I think if I were to buy one today it would be YG

Gerardus · 9 May 2017, 10:30 PM

YG all the way.

jwill051 · 9 May 2017, 10:47 PM

Blue dial, WG, black dial YG, just my opinion of course.
