There is no WOW factor about it.
I would tend to agree...Nothing to see here. Move along...

^ Your yellow gold is not the new sunburst one.

Put a side by side shot of the WG/YG right next to each other in the Sunlight. You will know what I mean. The YG and Sunburst blue just pops at you.

I had the same choice before as well. Dont get me wrong the WG is still nice but if I had to choose it would be YG/Blue Sunburst each and every time.

YG. Get the Hulk if you want coloured-bezel steel-like rolex.

The Hulk is great. It's definitely a keeper and takes up about half of not more of the rotation.

Can't really make up my mind either but I lean toward the yellow gold.

I voted for one of them but since you didnt putting a description in the poll, I don't know which one I chose?

YG or WG Submariner

It's perfect and so was DavidSW!! Couldn't be happier. Decided to go YG! Initially I called David and asked for WG ha. It was a hard decision, but glad to be in the position. Will stick to wearing SS to work, if I can stand it. Hope to add the WG in the future. Very distant future that is lol. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts! Cheers.

You made the right choice. The SS wouldn't see the light of day in my case.
