I too was torn, but in the end started with a white gold, then still craved the yellow gold. So YG was next. I felt it was a graduation of sorts, from white gold as my first pm then moved on to the YG as I felt I was ready for it. Have fun with this dilemma!

I agree with Otto. I really like the YG Daytona models, but don't think I could pull it off as a daily watch, so I use my WG Panda as a daily. Some day if I'm feeling flush, I could see myself with a WG and YG model. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd love to get my hands on a 16718 the pre ceramic gold GMT. I love this though, it's everything a gold Rolex can be really. The whole thing is gold.

Tough one and assuming the OP was not referring to the DD of DJ, then I would have to go with the 116718 with green dial.

It's tough for me, because I prefer white to yellow gold, but I wouldn't have an interest in a non-black bezel or dial. So...I say stick with steel. I can't think of any PM sport watches that I prefer to the steel versions, anyways.

IMHO if you're going to wear a sports Rolex it should be in stainless steel. Any other metal goes against the original intention that Rolex had for these watches; they were designed to be purpose built tools to be used while diving, racing, flying, etc. But if I had to pick a gold sports model it would probably be the Yacht Master, because to me that is like a dressed up Submariner and it makes sense to have one in a precious metal. But in all honesty, if you're going to buy a solid gold Rolex it should be a Day-Date President.

I think the GMT-Master II, Yachtmaster, or Daytona are more appropriate in precious metal. I never got my head wrapped around owning a diver in gold, though I fully concede Rolex offerings are gorgeous.

If I was going for a yellow gold rolex at the moment it would be a gmt or Daytona. There id a niche of people who really like the DD36 and DD 40 so you need to decide if they are for you.
