Not my second ever, since I bought my first over 40 years ago, but right now I only own the Hulk, which I love and will keep. I'm not a watch collector, but want one more rolex to rotate with the Hulk, a sports model.

I want the second Rolex to look different from the Hulk. But I am only interested in Subs and Daytonas. No TTs this time. No Explorers, DDs, GVs. YG Sub or Daytona only.

So my options are:

1) YG SubC Date with Blue bezel/dial (which I think will look quite a bit different than the Hulk).

2) YG Daytona with white dial. I am not decided whether I want the small dials white or Panda. Leaning toward the white with gold around them, but am unsure.

My AD did not have either in the full YG, but I tried on Daytonas and Bluesies (TT). The Daytona looked fine on my small wrists.

Your input is most welcome.

The YG Daytona is such a brilliant watch. The dial matches the madness of a full gold Rolex brilliantly. For some reason I'm always happy when see one in the wild, like a ray of sunshine...

If YG Daytona, I'm really partial to the black PN with red accents.

Nothing beats a solid gold Submariner

Sub

Daytona would get my vote. Now if you would consider the YG GMT IIC (which I think is the "best rolex") then that one.

i concur with 116618LB

Just to save me some research, what is the 116618LB? Ignore, I researched it. The Sub.

Well looks like 50/50 for Sub vs Daytona. Yikes. I'm not really interested in the GMT, prefer the Sub which looks similar to me. But I won't rule out a Pepsi if it comes in all YG.

Have to agree, it's my ultimate luxury all gold sports watch, so go for it, John, I know this is your secret fav!

locutus49 · 23 June 2014, 06:46 AM

You know me too well, AK. My only issue is that I would own two Subs, although completely different looking, and with a Daytona I would own a SS Sub and YG Daytona, really different looking.

I queried a well known TRF dealer about pricing, but I'm guessing they are roughly the same price, so I may just end up flipping a coin.

Panda!

Thanks to all the responses so far. I'm still on the fence. Any photos of the YG Blue Sub on a wrist or YG Daytona on a wrist would be most appreciated.

I have a YG Daytona....not a white dial, but here's a photo...and here's the YG GMT just incase you might like.

BTW...I know Ken has or had a Blue YG Sub, I don't think it's ceramic though.

What I would say is the gold watch should be your absolute favourite watch, no compromise or balancing a collection with this one, so if you do prefer the YG Sub to the Daytona then I would sell the Hulk for an SS Daytona.
