Which Daytona do you prefer?

Visited my local AD in Prague today and having a tough time deciding between these two beauties. Love the discrete look of the white gold but the yellow gold is quite stunning and really pops in person. Tough choice so which would you take?

White gold easily for me. I’m not a fan of yellow or rose personally

Between these two it would be the WG.

RG vs WG on the other hand... tough choice but I may lean towards the RG.

Speaking for myself not a fan of any of the modern day Daytona,so always choose whatever watch you want to own and wear.

Is it your first Daytona? If yes, get the Ghost. If not, go yellow gold imho

From pictures and videos always leaned towards the WG, but after a wrist check I found the YG far more pleasing for me personally with the WG being a little underwhelming, however it seems the understated factor is a positive for many with this WG reference....

Very hard choice indeed, two beautiful watches. Initially, i preferred the WG, but after i experienced YG, i would choose the YG one. I think you already answered yourself which one you like better when you said the WG is lovely but discreet while the YG is stunning.

YG for me. Based on my current collection.

I think you need to assess how each watch will compliment your current collection…

Which Daytona do you prefer?

Was lucky to get a WG and RG OF Daytonas in the span of 3 months from ADs. Kept the RG one.

WG is better in a one watch collection, but doesn’t bring as much excitement as RG when you have other SS Rolexes.

As for RG vs YG, it is based on your preferences. I just don’t like YG at all.
