I am excited to say I have narrowed my selection down to 2 1803 watches.
One WG and one YG.
I recently purchased Arabic Date and Day insert wheels to swap once I make my selection.

What do you guys think?

I prefer the white gold.

if your going with a DD then YG all day.

It is such a hard decision and remember these will be inserted in them.

I like the WG

Mine will be a Beast of the Piece. I plan on down the road purchasing a president style bracelet, when I have the funds. This is a project in the works.
I really like the Buckley Dial on the YG though.
Once I put those inserts in it Im sure the value is going to jump tremediously as these are originals.

Theres a WG with same Arabic inserts 1803 1966 for 20,000 right now asking price.

The one pictured there is a 67.

They are 'champagne' rather than white, and will match better with the YG dial. They will look very strange in the WG.

The value may rise a small amount, but the number of potential buyers will likely be greatly reduced.

Yellow gold ever time - white gold doesn't have the pop of yellow gold. Personally, if I'm buying an expensive gold watch I want it to "pop" and not be mistaken for something it isn't - like a Datejust.

Think Im going with the YG

Agreed,Never understood the whole Arabic Date Wheel thing...I know I wouldn’t pay a premium to not be able to read my Day/Date.

such a hard decision on what to do. I was set on the YG Day Date but now I am so confused on what to do. Maybe I am not ready. It is hard to set yourself apart to pick one watch when there are so many amazing choices, but I guess at the end of the day you have to make a decision.
