How to choose these two Rolex....?

Hello everyone

Recently,I want to buy a full gold sporty Rolex as formal occasion watch(I also have the AP ROO 26170 and Rolex SS submariner 116610LN)

I love the chronograph design,so one of my grail is the shinny 116518 with strap(Don't recommend me the 116528,because I don't have enough money..)

But the other one that attracts me is the 16628 Yachtmaster full gold with 18k bracelet

Could you guys suggest me how to choose?

Thanks a lot.

Simple answer try both on, the one you like most, that's the one to buy and the only answer to your question.

Yes buy the one you think looks and feels the best. My fav on strap is the Daytona panda dial.

Would you prefer a chronograph or a rotating bezel?

Which one is more comfortable on your wrist?

The decision is yours to be made.
I prefer the Daytona in this case, as the all gold YM has never interested me.

+1 for the Daytona, but it's your call in the end...

16628. It's my grail. It has a dial that is unlike any other Rolex.

In fact,I prefer the full gold model with 18k yg bracelet more

But I think that the buckle of 16628 will release a new edition in recent years

So,it's a dilemma to me...
