It could be a camera trick but the sub gold looks pinker and a richer yellow vs the new 40 day date. Does Rolex vary their yellow gold across difdrent models or is it the same hue of yellow 18k gold? Im trying to decide which one to buy.

Etschell · 16 July 2016, 05:52 AM

prob the color difference is due to the link shape difference and the way the light reflects.

Could be the blue of the sub clashing with the yellow gold to create a slightly different perceived color.

I'd have to agree. The YG Sub has a much warmer look to it than the DD40. I just tried on the YG DD40 this week, and noticed right away at looked different than other YG Professional models. I feel the same regarding the YG YM2.

I think Elliot is probably right. It likely has something to do with the shape of the links, the case and the Colorful blue bezel and dial on the Sub.

So OP would this be a one and only watch? If not, what else is in your rotation?

Not sure about the current lineup but over the years and across models there is definitely some colour variation in the gold Rolex uses.

I think it has to do more with the bracelet shape difference. I would think they come from the same casking plant. Using the same mixture. Wouldn't make sense change the gold mixture.

You never know, Rolex could make changes in their gold blend. Rolex would just never tell us!

Don't polish, use liquid soap, water and a nylon bristled brush, and you're a lucky #$%^.

Doubtful the composition is different. Probably due to finishing and lighting differences. Maybe a small chance of dissimilar changes to the alloys in the mix (but unlikely).

I think it most likely lighting too. My YGs are the same colour.
