YG watch suggestions??

Hi all! YG watch suggestions around 12k usd?
(Posted on Patek forum by mistake, re-posting)

Getting married soon, and decided on a two-tone wedding band, platinum and yellow gold.
Since I currently don’t own a yellow gold watch(and have always wanted one), I would like to use this occasion as an excuse to purchase something that would match my ring.

I am thinking full YG, or SS & YG two-tone. Since I’ve waiting ages for the call from my AD for the 15500st, I thought maybe I would instead go all in for the YG 15450BA. But considering the price and the (lower) frequency that I would be using the watch, I thought it would be too much money to spend on this one watch.

I’m currently considering two-time DJs, either 126233 or 126333. Two beautiful watches, and I can foresee myself getting a lot of use out of it.

However, considering I own multiple Rolex (Daytona, Sub, and GMT all in SS), I would like to know what else is out there, and would like to pick your brain. Below are the criteria.
(1) either solid YG or YG and SS two-tone
(2) NOT on leather bracelet, either metal bracelet or nylon strap
(3) around 12k usd (max 15k)
(4) new or used

Would live to hear your thoughts!!!
Thank you in advance.

Cartier has a few, the new Santos in TT or YG. The original Santos was the first sports wristwatch (if risking your life in one of the first airplanes is a sport), and is a different look than your Rolexes, which is good.

Used Daytona steel/gold combo should be in that price range. Congratulations.

Hey, thanks for the great suggestion.
I once had my eye on the SS version, but never considered the TT or YG, but they look awesome! Especially the YG!! I also like the backstory, which you have kindly shared. Thank you!

Thank you!! The TT Daytona is a stunner, in any dial variation! The prices are creeping up these days, but will surely be on the look out.

Cant imagine a full YG for men save for the Daydate.

If YG case on leather strap, PP3940 or 5140 or 5327 for me.

Otherwise, if wanna go PM, would go Pt, WG or RG.
