Icon20 The President is calling me, which one to choose?

So, I have been collecting for a couple years now, from the moment I (thankfully) could afford it.

My first RLX was a gift from a family member a few years ago, SS 36mm date just white dial, roman numerals, which I love and fits really well, as I have been blessed with really thin wrists (Around 6")
After that, when I could, I went ahead to explore the SS Sport section, BB58, 14060, 114060, Explorer II, Daytona pre Ceramic, GMT and some vintages...

And I like them, but they sadly don't fit, I am much much more confortable with a 36mm watch. So ended up selling most and keeping a 1680 Red, 5513 and 14060 because I love them, but I don't wear them often.

So when the new Explorer I was announced I quickly registered my interest, and my AD delivered in only two months... Been wearing that ever since, and I love it.


I feel that most brands nowadays still regard 36mm as women's size, so not many pieces to be excited for.
Until I arrived to the Day-Date... and its been growing on me, a lot. I started to notice it, even more now that I am in a position allowing its acquisition, just last night watching Seve Ballesteros documentary, there it was I am seeing it as my "Rolex Grail", first full PM piece, before that, it was the current YG OF Paul Newman dial Daytona, too big.

Considering that I am still under 30, (but with a classic style, all said) which dial configuration would you vote for? (I have more or less light skin)

For me, Yellow Gold is a must for this watch, I would source this from my AD (would like it new, so other references are discarded), any experience on how long are DD36 taking now?


- Green With Diamonds, I initially discarded this one due to the diamonds, but after seeing some videos and live pictures, it is Gorgeous! Diamonds don't stand out too much, and its already a full gold watch I guess the green won't make it that much bling
If someone who has it could chime in, that would be awesome.

- Champagne: The classic timeless Day-Date dial, I am a bit worried that it is "too much yellow".

- White: I feel that it lacks something, and considering I already have a white dialed SS DJ, this looks like the most versatile but the one that less attracts me from the three.


Any opinion or feedback is greatly appreciated!
