One of the two with the blue bezel and dial. I go back and forth on which I like more between the WG and YG models -- like each of them for different reasons. What's undisputed though is that I'd personally take either over the YG black bezel/dial. Just my own preference.

Also, Kostas has some of the best photos I've seen of gold subs. If his shots don't egg you on to pull the trigger on one, I don't know what will!

YG and blue. I think blue and gold/yellow look great together.

18k gold sub in any iteration is simply the most amazing watch! You just can’t go wrong. I’ve owned every modern version in PM and one thing is 100% for certain, you cannot go back to SS after experiencing PM.

Hmmmmm.... I understand how some people see precious metal as a “step up” from stainless steel. For some of us though, steel watches are equally desirable.

Personally, I could never wear a yellow gold watch but I don’t criticise or judge those that do. For me even rose gold is to be worn sparingly so for me that means without a gold bracelet.

I tried the YG/blue sub again the other day and was reminded how gorgeous it is. It’s a great piece. I’m also very fond of the Smurf, but YG/blue would get my vote

Been there, done that. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Just remember, pictures we see on here are gorgeous, but do not convey real world wear-a-bility.

Stainless is the sweet spot.

Blue gold because I have one (: I think the blue is just the iconic Rolex color. I picked it!
