Which full yellow gold Rolex?

If you can only have one full YG Rolex, which one will it be? Mine will be between GMT IIc and YM. Probably GMT wins.

Though I think the YG GMT is the best looking model Rolex makes, I already have the TT and I'm not sure I could pull it off anyway, lol! But the DD or DDII both being dressier watches I could probably make work for me.

Sub. In the end, the GMT bezel had too much going on for me.

Much as I'd like a full-gold Blue Sub or a Paul Newman Daytona, I'd go with the classic Day-Date, also known as The President. After all, it is THE iconic full-gold Rolex.

If this was a platinum thread those would be my top choices only in opposite order.

Well, I voted GMT, but would not rule out a DDII or YMII for sure.

Phong and Neil, great pics.

I need to see the platinum Daytona in the flesh. Some photos make it look amazing others not so. I was also on the fence about the Sky Dweller but after trying one on I was sold.
