I love the YG... So much that I would swap my TT for a full 18k if I had the extra $$

Any particular reason why?

I LOVE yellow gold, but just not mixed with steel. It is a matter of personal preference, and either you like the look or you don't.

An all-gold like this DD 118238 would be nice, though:

Thanks, JJ! I hope to get it some day, but it is just out of my reach financially at the time being.

Nice that you're online now!

What's the time in Denmark right now, Bo?

walds11 · 9 October 2007, 04:53 PM

Nearly 9 AM.

Doing another 13 hours work today!

Jedi · 9 October 2007, 04:58 PM

There's a YG Daytona in the family. Not sure of reference or serial info as it's sitting in a safe somewhere.

I see it strictly as an investment piece.

Would I wear it? If I get invited to a Soprano's party maybe, but then I'd probably order a Kobold!!

Shouldn't you be in bed at this unearthly hour?

GoISU · 9 October 2007, 05:10 PM

I feel gold is for a Grandpa watch, just my opinion...don't flame, it's just an opinion.

I'll commit a faux pas and say that I wish Rolex would use 10K or maybe 14K instead of 18K just due to material softness issues. I'm sure that Rolex with an in-house gold foundry could make the harder lower karat gold alloys with the same rich color if they set their minds to the task.

Rawhyde

Certainly was a fox pass

as 18K YG is harder than 9, 10 or 14K YG.

Destroy · 9 October 2007, 05:44 PM

I'm close to doing the YG thing. I just can't rationalise it (appearance-wise) to hand over the cash. Having said that a YG GMT2C looks very different to a YG pres. Doesn't it??????

"Every guy over the age of 50 in Manila" - are you talking about the philippines? If so, what CIRCLES do you hang out in? The Polo Club????

greenfan · 9 October 2007, 05:54 PM

I'm too young to wear yellow gold ! But I like platinum, so I could wear a Daytona...

Fair enough; but in Asia, and in certain major urban areas in the US (e.g., LA), it is certainly not uncommon to see young men wearing fine YG gold timepieces (Rolex, Patek, Brequet, etc.). That's fact.

no8080 · 9 October 2007, 08:08 PM

I prefer SS for a mans watch. For a mans dress watch YG is OK. I am not a fan of TT for a man, does not look right IMHO.

I am very hard on jewelery, my wedding ring is Titanium and I have still hammered it! So I got a SS GMTC

My wive has a TT Datejust in rose gold with a Black MOP Diamond dial. The gold works on this watch, but it looks very femine.
