So many good choices across all three. If I had to choose one to save my life I’d be a dead man.

I actually love the rose gold model, but then I’m reminded why I wouldn’t...

I’d probably go for WG with either white or silver Romans.

White gold, stick dial. However, if I lived in a hot, sunny, climate and had nice brown arms, then maybe yellow gold. So, it depends; on where you are and who you are.
But for cool northern climates, white gold every time.

I’d go the other way, in the long dark winters a bit of yellow gold adds some much needed brightness to the day.



In summer I use other metals more, but it’s yellow gold that gets me through the winter.

I’m set on getting it in WG, either the rhodium stripe dial or black dial. Can easily be dressed up or down and worn daily, relatively under the radar.

RG looks awesome on my tan skin but I couldn’t have it as my only DD. Doesn’t match my fashion sense much.

YG is a bit too flashy for me in general. I’d love to have one but wouldn’t wear it as much as WG. Maybe as my second DD someday.

I voted RG, thinking chocolate with romans or diamonds.

But this- this is ICONIC.

And I was so absolutely sure of my choice. Just proves I ain't ready for PM yet.

Totally subjective question with many variables such as skin tone and dial color. For example, blue dial belongs with WG and would look terrible with RG. Chocolate dial however looks great with RG.

Interesting to see the results of this poll split almost in thirds

I used to say WG for its understated elegance but now I’m starting to think YG because it’s just such a classic. Of course RG is the more modern YG replacement ...

I’m clearly undecided but voted WG anyways
