Thanks to everyone for all the well-wishes. This is an amazing community and a tremendous help in making the decision. First day wearing the Daytona has been a lot of fun. I keep checking the time for no reason at all. lol.

My Wife also liked the RG. I went with the YG for a number of reasons. First, I know RG is hot right now, but I feel YG is timeless. Second, I fell in love with the PN dial on this particular YG model. Note the red hand and red inner markers.

I liked the WG as well... I have several SS watches and felt I wanted some color choices in my collection.

* Regarding "in your face" ... Both the RG and the YG have very similar wrist presence.
