That's an easy one.....BOTH! No excuses on why you shouldn't have it either, since it would be your day/birthday!

Is there another, more sober, option? Both are a little over the top for me.

Between those two, I would choose the 116508 YG over the other. If I truly had a choice, neither. So many other pieces that I'd rather buy and would enjoy much more with that kinda money.

I love all meteorites but I don’t like rose gold or yellow gold so I would pass on both personally.
But if I had to choose between these I would go for the meteorite Rose gold.

I have YG green dial, now I want RG meteorite dial.

If you have the choice to pick only one from your AD, I would say pick the one that available to you first, both are gorgeous, no wrong choice here.

505 would be my choice because any meteorite dial is unique. A lot of people own an identical 508 green dial, but only you own THAT 505 meteorite dial.

Plus, I like the look better with rose gold being less in your face. Plus, the financial part works in your favor should you ever need to part with the watch.

Whichever you can get from your AD. For me the meteorite dial is truly and literally out of this world. Pictures truly can’t do it justice. Here is my new 116508 on the wrist today.

I also love the green dial and will get eventually. If you can get a meteorite now from your AD grab it!

Neither for me. I do not like a full rose gold as it is too pink for my skin and the Green dial on the YG is a no for me too. If I had to choose of those, Rose gold.

RG+Meteorite dial for me I always.
1. I prefer RG as it's a bit more subtle
2. I know this might sound silly but I prefer the slightly larger case on the RG,PT &, WG version compared to the steel or YG version
