Bling factor of yg or RG watch and skydweller specifically

I really like the new RG sky dweller on the bracelet but is it too blingy? I would just wear it on weekends vs the office. In my own mind yg is a little more blingy but realistically the RG is probably similar. The strap would tone things down but I have always been more into the bracelet. Thoughts?

Rg skydweller on that strap is pretty hard to beat. I found it to blingy, for my circles, so for sure I find the bracelet to much. But it sure is a technical beauty

I owned the yellow gold and just bought the rose gold, both on bracelet.

The yellow is definitely too blingy in my opinion as there was no contrast. The champagne dial with the yellow gold was way too much.

The everose gold is absolutely beautiful, and the dial is amazing. It's definitely more subdued than the flashy yellow.

Good luck with your decision.

Too blingy??? No such thing with either of those two watches.

RG is less blingy and noticeable than YG. If a YG watch I prefer it have a ceramic bezel to tone it down a bit.

RG would be less blingy and flashy. The YG is blingy and flashy.
