Then, that's the one! ;-)

Although, I didn't realize that Rolex offers the olive green with YG....I thought it was with the rose gold and white gold only?

If you want YG and green, I prefer the Daytona to the GMT:



But, if what you want is a DD40 in YG, I find the silver dial to be the best option:



Alternatively, in YG, I'd also consider the following two options:



In WG, I think this is the best option:



If the budget permits, there's always platinum:




I would be happy with any of those, or an SD50.

A WG BLRO or a Platona would be my choices.

I'd go for a Daytona or DD40.

I don't think the DD40 comes with the green dial in YG, but RG is amazing.

If you like the yg daydate with the green dial, be sure to check out the YG Daytona with the green dial. I think it’s one of the best pieces Rolex is putting out right now

Not going to argue with this. If that is what you want, don't even seek opinions, go and get it - beautiful watch!

DD40 is the obvious choice, regardless of color in this situation, IMO.

In my opinion if your getting gold yellow is a must. If you don’t wanna be flashy get a platinum

You could also branch out beyond Rolex and get a Lange as they only make them in precious metals.
Agreed.

Comes down to preference, but I'd personally do the DD40 in everose or WG with the olive dial/numerals. That watch is a jaw-dropper.

As everyone already mentioned, that amount, it has to be a yellow gold DD.

DD40 would be my choice given your current collection and desire for pm. The Everose Gold with chocolate, diagonal motif is beautiful. YG is also classic, just depends on your personal preference.

If yellow gold and green dial is your choice.....I’d say Daytona or GMT!
I turn 50 as well this year, and if I didn’t have it already, I’d choose this one....again :)

Normally would say Sub 116618LB, but since you have the 116613LB, maybe a DD 228238 or 228206 with the ice blue diagonal motive.

I did a 1966 Sub 5513 Gilt for my 50th.
