Rolex yachtmaster 2 full gold vs TT

HI there. I intend to buy the new rolex yachtmaster 2 but I have difficulty to choose between the full yellow gold vs the TT steel with rose gold. Money is no issue to me. So what do you guys think which one is better looking and eye catching more. Plus which one have better value resale value ect.

Purely on looks alone, I think the full gold model is one of the best out there.

Now resale...neither one is going to be good unless you can get some kind of a decent deal.

If money is no issue, I'm surprised the resale value is a factor for you....

I prefer full metal, either steel or gold, not a fan of two tones. A work colleague has the RG TT YMII. I had a close look and personally don't think steel and rose gold look good together. Resale will be bad whichever you chose, plus the fact it's not a popular model.

I have the steel and the full gold model.
If I did it all over again, I would get the two tone and call it a day.

The rose gold mixed with the blue is intoxicating...

If I took the TT IM ABLE TO include THE ROLEX DATEJUST 41 TT ROSE GOLD CHOCOLATE DAIL WITH DIMOND. But if I go full gold I can not. So what do you guys think. Aside from that I'm also going to buy the skydweller TT. So it will be total of three watches if I go rolex yachtmaster 2TT BUT IF I GO FULL GOLD IT WILL BE ONLY THE YMII AND THE SKYDWELLER.

If you have a full gold YM2 and the Sky, what on earth do you need with a DJ?

The problem is by my eyes and other friends and family opinions we say the rose gold TT is much nicer than yellow gold the rose with blue is better matching. That's why I ask in this forum so I can collect more opinions. If someone have pictures please send for both.

I agree, I love my YM2 gold which I got 2 years ago. I use the Cartier bangle not to leave a mark on my hand where the Rolex crown it.

if money is not an issue, i would go for the yellow gold ym ii. its an absolute
beauty. however, tt should hold value better than the yg. but as long as money
is not an issue, i think the yg ym ii is the better one for you.

I think the YG YMII is stunning and would pair well with the SkyD. You then end up with two great complications , both with amazing wrist presence
