You defitnely need more contrast with the dials. If getting a DD, I'd go YG, but with different dial. In WG blue dial as Pacheco suggested.

Both look great but I'd go for the YG no question!

WG, but I'm biased. I have the rhodium striped, but that 4 quadrant silver is just gorgeous.

Really like both, something about the YG seems more classic and special.

The WG aesthetically might be more appealing, but I do feel like the YG is the one to own and the one I would want to spend my money on.

WG looks incredible. Not a huge fan of YG but I do love RG too. That said, I would go with the one that you like the best as its your wrist and your watch. Really, you can't go wrong if it smiles back at you. Good luck!

White gold! I would say yellow if the dial was darker

I'd recommend trying the RG green dial/romans and the WG with the blue dial/romans before pulling the trigger.. but you can't really go wrong with any DD 40.

That said, the yellow gold looks fantastic on you!

WG. Champagne dial on all YG watch is just too much. Prefer some contrast.

White by a mile. The yellow remindes me of the South Bronx in the 70's... everyone had a gold watch.
