I’m hoping to get some thoughts and opinions on this...

My collection is full of stainless steel, titanium, platinum, and white gold. I don’t have a single piece in yellow gold (or rose gold for that matter, although I don’t think rose gold works well with my skin tone).

I’ve caught the bug for something in YG. I don’t think I’ll end up having multiple watches in YG though. I’m thinking this would be something to fill a gap in the collection, and for when I want that occasional extra pop of yellow gold.

I got very close to pulling the trigger on a 116718LN with the black dial. Right now, that’s my front runner. Although I just inherited a 16753 (two tone GMT on jubilee), so I thought it might be overkill to have both of those.

If you were to only have one yellow gold watch, what would it be?
I’ll go ahead and rule out a DD, since I have one in platinum, and I just don’t think I want another. And, it doesn’t necessarily have to be Rolex.

Thoughts? Advice?

My solid gold want right now is a Sub with blue face and bezel

Uppersouth · 21 March 2018, 02:23 AM

I suggest a Sky Dweller.

I've had a few gold Rolexes, and that is the one that has stayed.

I say you have excellent taste. One day I will have one myself

Kilometerman · 21 March 2018, 04:56 AM

Hmmm. I hadn’t thought about a Sky Dweller...

Cato · 21 March 2018, 04:59 AM

I'd get a YG Subbie (black dial)

samson66 · 21 March 2018, 05:03 AM

I think YG works better on a dress watch vs a sports watch. Can't go wrong with this...

subtona · 21 March 2018, 05:15 AM

Day date and Sub are both interesting to me but if I were to wear it I would lean toward a pure dress watch, time only smaller than 40mm and on leather.

Tangier11 · 21 March 2018, 05:18 AM

My first thought is DD, its the classic but if you dont want another I would go with a Sub

jb335 · 21 March 2018, 05:30 AM

I'm a big fan of a YG Daytona like the 116508. I'm torn between that Daytona and also the YG Sub with blue sunburst dial.

dr35mm · 21 March 2018, 05:32 AM

Not a fan of YG but I guess it would be the Blue Submariner

That would would probably be my pick, too. Although the GMT would be very much in the running for me.

OP said he didn't want a DD.

the Daytona with the sunburst green face is my recommendation

Hmmm

vladamir15 · 21 March 2018, 06:19 AM

Gold blue sub

kiralymd · 21 March 2018, 06:31 AM

I'm wondering where on Earth do you think you need a watch to pop, where a Platinum Day-Date not enough to impress or make a statement. .?
