Hey TRFer's!!

I have been very very fotunate enough to wear a few nice pieces for the past few days in order to help my decision...

First of all I was wearing this one this morning, its a bark Rolex DayDate from around 1980- "something".. In mint and I mean MINT condiction!

Next of was a WG Daytona with factory MOP dial which used to be owned by British football player Robbie Savage... What a stunning watch in person, and the weight on the wrist is quite something!!

We took the afternoon out to do a spot of window shopping with our golden suprises!!

My friend just had to rub it in with his YG Blue Sub..

Where as I on the other hand took the WG Daytona..

And then finally after seeing my friend wearing it, I just had to have it on for a day to test her out.. Very very beautiful timepieces.. Although I always wanted YG.. The white is just soooo special in the flesh!

Thanks for looking

HL65 · 28 March 2012, 10:12 AM

Very nice Dino!! Hope you get one of your own to enjoy for good!

dalip · 28 March 2012, 10:20 AM

Nice Dino. You see.... White gold is so very special and has that subtlety and class that I really like. I think yellow good looks fantastic on the right person and circumstances....and there are many on here that wear them very well.

But no matter how much I want to wear a yellow gold Rolex ... And my preferred choice would be a 116528 black PN dial .... I just can't deal with the obvious gold watch factor. Maybe one day I'll get over it .... Just too ostentatious for me right now.

But I have to say the wg Daytona suits you very very well.

So... Where does this leave you??

nyfida · 28 March 2012, 10:21 AM

Sick watches man!! Gold is special.

dddrees · 28 March 2012, 10:22 AM

Very fortunate indeed.

I would be in Rolex heaven for sure.

nyfida · 28 March 2012, 10:25 AM

Those pics of that Daytona actually made me get off the couch and put on my SS version.

A.J.R. · 28 March 2012, 10:26 AM

Lucky guy Dino!

baybombers · 28 March 2012, 10:26 AM

I'm guessing someone has already brought this up but what about a YG GMT II with a green dial. It would give you the splash of color you had with the hulk but still satisfy your want for gold.

This is the kind of stuff that tempts me. TEMPTS ME! be all up in m'here vouching for the white to a yellow-zellot and your calls to the light side shall not be heeded!

JustABreathAway · 28 March 2012, 10:28 AM

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm!!!

I do have to say, after going round and round, having seen you try on some lovely and wonderful pieces, and IN SPITE of my Presidential love, I think that YG Blue Sub is the best watch on and for you. It just seems RIGHT for you, Dino. I do like that 1980's bark DD on you, especially with the Romans, but I think the Blue YG Sub is it for you, friend.

I'm dying to know how your quest is progressing!! Please fill us in!

Good to see you back, btw!

LightOnAHill · 28 March 2012, 10:29 AM

Sexy DD btw

very sexy love the bark

kilyung · 28 March 2012, 10:29 AM

That WG Daytona is SO you Dino!!!

general · 28 March 2012, 10:29 AM

Now those are some nice pieces. Thanks for taking the time to post these pics.

Sweet

I agree 100% Dalip mate, I'm a huge fan of YG subs and daytona's.. Only thing is after actually wearing the damn thing in puplic she had to sit up the sleeve, with the WG, Its just perfect because nobody knows unless your one of us

Who knows, but at 12k I'm leaning Daytona atm.. (yes yes, I changed my mind again..

)

gwalker · 28 March 2012, 10:42 AM

you have been living it up man!!!! Oh get the daytona if you get a deal where you WON'T lose any cash. IMO you will want something else in a month anyway. HAHAHAHA

gold canyon · 28 March 2012, 10:53 AM

WG works very well on you, Dino. That Daytona is unique and sharp.

Z-Sub · 28 March 2012, 10:58 AM

Both looks great on you! I wish one day I'll get a WG Daytona

Gharddog03 · 28 March 2012, 11:09 AM

Sweet pieces.

FeelingTheBlues · 28 March 2012, 11:14 AM

Very nice pictures Dino! Those watches fit you all very well! I must say I prefer the Day-Date but I can't get over that Daytona's gorgeous MOP dial!

watchf · 28 March 2012, 11:20 AM

The YG sub looks outstanding, its clearly the alpha of the group :D but I prefer the YG GMT IIc.

FremStar · 28 March 2012, 11:55 AM

Wait a sec! The WG Daytona is only $12k? If that's the case do not think twice!

When you say Daytona, you mean SS?

Is that what you are leaning towards instead of the LV and Exp 2 you were debating on the other thread?

It appears under magnification, that it does Sam!!

Some nice pieces there Dino. Good to see you having some fun and trying out all avenues....
The Daytona does look best on you IMO.

I think that may be in sterling

If so - that is still an awesome price

JUSTROLEXES · 28 March 2012, 12:28 PM

That MOP White Daytona is NICEEEE Dino

Ahhh! Thank you gentlemen for clearing that up!

I should have known the Daytona was £12k and not $12k! As Dino has told me in the past... I should have gone to spec savers!

MortgageGuy · 28 March 2012, 02:54 PM

Dino, Dino, Dino

get the wg buddy. I love it and I mean love it. Sure it looks like an amazing watch but I agree with you the YG is just to much for me... Too much flash that is. The wg is so stealthy and especially on the Daytona

Here is mine to give you another pic

Cru Jones · 28 March 2012, 05:40 PM

Dig the Daytona, Dino.

speedo · 28 March 2012, 06:12 PM

the wg daytona is the winner for me.
on the other hand you've been wanting someting yellow for a very long time. could you settle down with wg?

travisb · 28 March 2012, 07:04 PM

The WG Daytona looks much better on you than the bark DD imo.
You'd get the sporty, casual and dress look all in one watch.
Happy hunting! Looking foward to decision time.
