Just curious which of these two do you personally like more from Rolex?

I prefer YG but am warming up to RG. Still waiting to pull the pin on RG piece.

Really depends on your skin color. If you're pale then YG looks better IMO. RG has a warmer / redder glow and looks great with a tan :)

Absolutely true on skin color. I like the look of yellow gold better but everose gold looks better on my skin color.

Yellow gold is superior to me. Rose and White are created.

It really depends on skin tone.
I have very fair skin so for me YG looks better (according to my wife)
You can't go wrong with either.

I love Rose Gold, but I think that other watchmakers do it better than Rolex does. Patek ... Vacheron ... AP are all a nicer tone of RG in my view.

I like RG more than YG but I can't wear it. I've tried, it just doesn't go with my build and complexion. YG and I blend better.

I tried to go Rose, but always craved for yellow. I just feel yellow suits what I like. The rose is more understated, I have white gold for the understated look.

White gold! Love the weight and hue! But sadly enough that’s not an option. :(

It’s all about the skin tone. Your RG DD is stunning, and looks great on you!

Some of the RG watches look great. I even had one, a RG Chocolate Daytona on OF. Beautiful, but also a touch of costume jewelry to its hue. My YG Daytona and my TT Sub, never feel that way to me. I love YG but recognize that the RG and WG's out there have their place and they make a for a great addition to a collection.

Undecided, but I love my TT yg DJ41 and my RG DD40. I have tan skin so both look great on me.

If you don't mind standing out in a crowd and being more traditional the yellow gold it has a lot more Flash and bling. . The rose gold looks awesome less blingy of course more subtle and one might even say a level of sophistication above the yellow gold. That being said I have two tone yellow and two-tone rose gold i love both of them. I would love to have a day date in both also.

Really depends on my mood, I have a skin tone that can pull off both. YG is classic tho but RG could almost be a bit stealthy.
