The best yellow gold sports watch like you put it, is the one you bought, and are wearing on your wrist its that simple.

Many would argue with your choice of the WG Sub as better than the WG Daytona. A lot on here prefer the WG Daytona. In WG the choices are only Sub or Daytona (if you want to consider the crazy gem'ed out GmT I guess u can). I think the RG is only made in the Daytona as a "sports" model so there really isn't a choice there. I guess YG I'd take the Sub or GMT green dial. But YG is the only way to try to compare them all since it's the only precious metal used in all three.

If and when I buy one, it will be the blue face/bezel YG sub, 116618LB. Love that thing.

You're wrong in all of your assumptions: there's no best of anything, only preference. That said, I like the YG GMTIIC.
