I thought I was not YG fan!!!

Until I tried this beauty, wow I’m not the biggest Daytona fan due to it’s small size , had a SS in the past and was like Mehh, but this one OMG the heft, the contrast, gotta love it.

Same here. I bought my brother the YG OF and tried it on. I would have never considered YG for myself before then.

Colored gold is the BEST.

After I moved onto YG or RG I never wore my SS watches again and now I dont have a single SS piece anymore.

Was it just laying around and didn't already have an end buyer at your AD?

I am not a yellow gold fan either. But a yellow or even rose or even white gold Rolex is an all together different story.

YG with green dial is the best combo.

I love mine very much.

Thanks but is not mine , my friend let me try it , I wish it was mine

What I can say is that IMHO after owning an AP , with the current AP prices for Royal Oak models , I'd buy a PM Daytona anyday before an AP RO but that's just my opinion., What shocked me the most is how can the same watch feel so different in SS and PM , I have tried RG GMT and YG Subs and of course they feel nice but the difference is not as big from the SS counterparts as it's with this Daytona.

One thing is for sure my next Rolex will hopefully be a PM professional model.(fingers crossed)

I do not like YG models with gold bracelet, only with oysterflex. However, this one is just impressive. I do love it!
