That is a tough one! I don’t have any input based on value, but I’ve been on a rose gold kick lately, and it looks awesome with the two-tone face and oysterflex bracelet.

How light or dark is your skin? I'm fairly pale, so I don't think RG looks great on me. I have an Indian friend and I think RG looks great on him. YG looks good on everyone, but I think blondes look better with WG.

I prefer the rose gold over the yellow, but if you want value retention/increase i'd say go for the white gold

I think the RG is stunning.......but the plastic strap is a value killer for me.

How about choosing based on how much *you* like it? A rather old fashioned method but the results might surprise you!

Seriously though, after considering opinions, give it some thought and choose the watch that makes you happiest.

Good luck,
Mark

Rosé would be my choice. It looks more luxurious and classy.

The YG one with the Newmanesque dial. This particular model looked really striking and cool in person.

Tough choice. You can’t go wrong with either one. I would go for YG Newman.

Quite. I don't think these will hold value well. A bracelet costs more initially, but in the longer run it could be cheaper. Daytona was always designed for the bracelet. The strap versions could go the way of two-tones.

Can’t stand that ugly yellow color on the sub dials so it’ll have to be RG for me. Although personally wouldn’t buy either one.

My take would be the YG. Don't care about value retention, only looks.

I have owned both the YG and RG models of the Daytona on a bracelet and the RG is great to look at in pictures and even at the AD. The RG is difficult to match to skin tone as it did not look as good on me as YG, WG or Platinum. The second hand market is also difficult on the RG as there are fewer buyers. I would go YG on a bracelet and add the strap later. Good luck.

I had that rg on leather, it was nice. I think the yg is more unique and I’d go that one

So yeah, it depends on your skin tone. I could never pull off YG but RG looks great on me. Would do that if I were purchasing for myself.
