If you had another YG piece in your collection, I would say Smurf for a little variety. However, given your collection, I'll go with one of my all-time favorites...the YG.

Love the flat blue dial on the WG Sub. I think that would be my choice.

YG and blue sunburst dial, perfect combo. Would have been a more difficult choice if the WG had the same dial.

Great collection! Either would fit in nicely and both are special. I prefer the 116618LB.

In general I prefer the 116619 over the 116618. However, with your collection currently, I would get the 116618 as a nice change of pace. If you get the 116619, my guess is your stainless subs will eventually get less and less wrist time.

So if I were in your shoes this is what I'd do:
-Buy 116618LB now
-Eventually trade 116610LN and 116610LV + cash for 116619

White gold isn't for everyone but man I love it.

I'm not a huge WG fan but the smurf has grown on me, a lot. For me I would pick the TT blusey, the smurf or the yg ln. Out of your two choices I would take the smurf.

Smurf is the way I would go, but I must admit it's my grail.

YG is too flashy for me.

Both are great choices, but I would not wear the yellow nearly as much as the WG.

Like others have said, WG is less flashy than YG. Depends on what you prefer. I have the WG sub, but love both. YG is beautiful!!!

The YG Bluesy is one of the prettiest watches Rolex has ever made. I am still partial to the 5 digit one but the is still pretty sweet! Full disclosure...I had one that I sold to buy a Malachite Day Date...which my wife stole!
