So i have decided my next watch will be a Daytona.
I fell in love with those two options and now I'm torn in between.

I tried both on, and love both (isn't that always the issue?)
Figured i will drop this here and see what you guys think.

I have a picture of the green one on my wrist but not of the rose gold.

Very different overall aesthetics. I personally prefer the RG model with black dial and "pink" subdials. I've tried that one on in-person before and it's truly a stunning watch to look at. Here is the exact configuration I am thinking of (to make sure we're aligned). It's probably my favorite PM configuration of the Daytona behind the WG on OF bracelet. And yes, I know that those top 2 from me could not be any more opposite from one another (under the radar WG vs in-your-face RG)

That Green one is Serious Bad Assedness

The rose gold is very slightly larger than the yellow gold version.

I’d take the rg of yours

huncho · 6 November 2018, 07:05 AM

yg green dial for me. absolutely killer combo

taffetto · 6 November 2018, 07:06 AM

Just got the YG Green dial last month. It's perfection!!

edyu · 6 November 2018, 07:22 AM

I personally prefer the RG with black. It's less "flashy" than the green with YG. Aesthetically, they both look great but I prefer a more understated look.

R!$ · 6 November 2018, 07:30 AM

go green

rcwatches · 6 November 2018, 07:42 AM

Ive had personally 6 rose gold black dials! Just cant seem to be without one! But currently have been without for a 12 months and just picked up a green YG as gone are the days when the roses were much more affordable. The green really is stunning but still love that black and rose chrono dial!

envuks · 6 November 2018, 07:55 AM

The yg green dial version is one of my favorite configurations available from Rolex right now. My vote goes to that one

Ferdelious · 6 November 2018, 08:00 AM

Green gets my vote.

watchwatcher · 6 November 2018, 08:03 AM

They're both jaw droppers, for sure. I think RG gives you the more classic "Daytona" look with the more defined sub-dials and the green is more sporty. So just depends on what look you're after.

Me, I'm more of a WG fan. Go try on the blue with that same shirt and see what happens...

bradyb · 6 November 2018, 08:17 AM

Green and YG = WOW.

MesaSean · 6 November 2018, 08:52 AM

Both are stunning, but I'm partial to the ever rose.

jeffnnj · 6 November 2018, 09:05 AM

I am in the VAST minority here who doesn’t like green dials at all. Not a Hulk fan, Anniversary DD fan, etc. However, on the YG Daytona it looks amazing. I might go that way.

Green and YG

jltait · 6 November 2018, 09:10 AM

Green all the way. Sunburst or bust.

ltmgeller · 6 November 2018, 09:12 AM

I kind of like the green an YG. Looks great.

neun44 · 6 November 2018, 09:13 AM

I vote green and yellow gold.

kbar · 6 November 2018, 09:22 AM

Now for a little cliff hanger:

I can buy the rose gold for about $6500 less than the green dial.

That’s more of a price difference than I would have expected between the two pieces, but I’m still sticking to the YG and green. The 6500 doesn’t change it for me. I also feel like the RG black dial is relatively common while the YG green seems more special

williamstone · 6 November 2018, 10:05 AM

Green rocks.

hodie9 · 6 November 2018, 10:16 AM

Rose gold version is gorgeous. That gets my vote.

imgook · 6 November 2018, 10:25 AM

I love the RG with black face, but not sure if I could rock it. Seems a bit too feminine for me.

lisalisa · 6 November 2018, 10:54 AM

I’ve actually owned a few rg black dials in the past and I can honestly say I was torn between the green Daytona yg, and rg black.. but I ended up ordering the green.. it should be here any day now... the wait is killing me!

The Everose. Rolex Everose is amazing and a standout at any price point. It’s not pink like the others but rich with a warm red hue. Think “swagger”.

Drewkeffler · 6 November 2018, 11:06 AM

Wow this YG green dial is absolutely awesome, i will go with that.

Rolex Essex · 6 November 2018, 08:11 PM

YG with green dial is so beautiful however I feel that the RG with black dial is more modern.

1William · 6 November 2018, 09:49 PM

I have owned several YG Daytona's and they are great watches. I have also owned it in RG and was disappointed in how the metal did not work as well for me as the pictures I had seen. The green dial in the YG is great and that would be where I would go. The RG is also a more difficult flip or sale as the market is limited. Send a few TS a note and ask what you would get on a trade for the two models and that may help you decide.
