A sweet dilemma to have to face! I’d go Pikachu over Ghost, myself. But, as others have said, you can’t go wrong either way. Congrats on whatever you choose!

I like YG better and it’s cheaper at retail. Win win!



Can’t go wrong with either, especially at retail price.

Easily the yellow gold, but I’m very biased as I own the 116518 variant.

I like the YG. Something about the contrast and opulence of yellow gold is a beautiful combo.

Between the two YG for me. If there was RG I would go with that.

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.

RG is the way with this model.

I chose the YG. I already have an SS Daytona and wanted a YG piece but not full YG.

YG all the way baby. It’s sporty and fun but it can dress up and down as well. The YG pops more. I too had the choice between all 3 and the YG was the clear winner for me. The ghost photographs really well but in the flesh it was kinda boring. The rose is really nice too but rose doesn’t look great with my skin tone. The YG still puts a smile on my face when I wear it.

It is a little flashy but at the same time it’s not. To a normal person they may not even know it’s a Rolex because it’s on a rubber strap. I have zero regrets with buying the YG. On the flip side I know if I bought the white gold I would have regretted it or still wanted the YG. Plus the YG is like $1500 cheaper too. So that’s a plus.

Another question is this. Do you have the option to buy either one now or are they display models? I can tell you the YG is harder to get than the WG. I was offered the WG multiple times before finally getting the YG. The YG version is as hard to get as a SS Daytona.
