It sure is a beautiful watch, and wish Rolex made that dial available for yellow gold. But I can assure you, in the end you'll get both.
Congrats op, it's beautiful.

Congrats. Wear that one in good health.

You'll eventually end up with a YG one as well. It always happens.

I bought a RG one for my first and I also ended up with both a RG and YG.

YG DD40 is the quintessential iconic Rolex.

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments and photos

I totally agree on the YG DD being THE Rolex. I can easily see me trading a Kermit and DJ41 for a pre-owned YG DD in the near future!

Loving the overall heft and feel of PM on the wrist, it’s a totally different experience to steel. Feels like another package altogether, if that makes sense?
