YG looks better with my skin tone and accessories. RG is popular now but it comes and goes and so will your value retention.

While I think more people than they realize can wear both shades of gold, I do think one will look a bit better than the other depending on your skin tone. For me, that is YG.

However, I'll also add, I would wear RG but likely not Rolex RG. I don't care for the shade of rose that Rolex does.

This. I love my 126508 Daytona in YG; however, I think it varies between models; for example, when it comes to the DD I've been lusting after the Everose Olive DD and prefer that over the YG.
