SS watches are cheaper hence sell more. Gold is worth more in the long run, personally prefer white gold.

You are correct but I for one when choosing to make a large investment in a precious metal watch don't purchase based on a current trend but rather what will be in style forever. As mentioned, I don't think YG ever goes out of style but for the past 5+ years WG and SS has been more in demand.

Interesting to note, YG has been shown more often as of late by those same "designers" and many believe it is trending back to being 'in".

How lucky for us with YG that we can state we are TREND SETTERS!

I havent read through this thread fully, but i'm sure it has been mentioned before. If not i'll say it again, pricepoint! Basically 1k more for an already expensive watch to most is not an easy thing to do

I regularly see women wearing YG DDs here, and it's the gold color I see most often with men...at the gym, in restaurants, etc.

The thing I love about YG--aside from it looking good on my wrist--is that it looks like it could be new, or it could be inherited from a grandparent. In that sense, I think it never becomes trendy.

If you like SS rolex good, if you like TT rolex that is also good, it depends on your taste and what makes you happy. Have both of them and you'll be more happy.

Though I've seen very few women in the wild wearing YG DDs, the ones I have seen looked amazing! Very chic!
