I'd go for the YG, both are excellent though and I can imagine that this is a pretty hard choice because they are both so nice.

White gold is white, rose gold is rose and yellow gold is in fact yellow.

White gold hands down, to the average person its just another SS sub, but to a true enthusiast it is on a whole different level of awesome.

I have to say white gold. Yellow gold has always seemed gaudy to me.
But in the end, it's a matter of personal taste.

If you prefer a black dial then the YG, if you prefer blue then the WG.

In the sub I prefer WG (and own one as well). But I do like the GMT-IIc in yellow gold.

Tough call. Both have merits. I think it really depends on your situation. How often would YG be suitable/unsuitable in your daily life. That's what would do it for me.

I agree...if I were wearing this watch on a regular basis I would go with WG to blend in. If it was just a special occasion watch then YG
