Remember me and my "which one should I get" dilemma? I hope not, because I'm back seeking more advice

I said many times I didn't like rose gold because it blended (away) with my skin tone, and white looked too much like steel. I was thinking yellow gold. Now that I have tried all of them on (city trip/no wife or kid!) I'm re-thinking.

Yellow gold, as bow-down awesome as it looks, is just too glorious for my taste. As discrete as white and rose gold are, I found I preferred that the watch didn't shout from the mountain tops.

Long story short: thoughts on rose vs white? I am thinking pre-loved, and there are plenty more white at better prices, but the rose with a chocolate dial really wowed me (bracelet model). I also love love love the meteorite dial in white. Price and scarcity are factors. I don't see many (any) chocolate dials with bracelets on the pre-owned market. Meteorite is also scarce but out there, at a significant premium.

So settle for a black dial on rose? White with black/slate/silver arabic dial? And I use the word "settle" very loosely: much as I love rose/chocolate and white/meteorite, I would be ecstatic with other dials, too.

I have re-read my prior posts and processed that advice. Any other or new thoughts? Thanks in advance, or, apologies if I wasted your time

If WG, get Met dial, you won't be disappointed. On the RG, I like the black or gold dial with opposite sub dials.

The Meteorite dial is exquisite!

The RG with black face is very sexy...

I see a man wearing a WG with Met dial and a woman wearing a RG with black face.

Too many hollywood celebs with the RG

- that's why I didn't purchase it (as much as I love it)

financeman · 11 November 2012, 03:16 AM

I say hold out for what you really want or you will be right back making a decision to trade and get the one you want. Never settle. Just wait it out and get your dream watch. JMHO

Art 1 · 11 November 2012, 03:26 AM

For me it would easily be WG. The eversose is ugly, to me.

blackout · 11 November 2012, 05:30 AM

RG with Chocolate dial or WG Blk dial.

Lrd2sea · 11 November 2012, 06:29 AM

I love my wg met,.. Never get tired of looking at it since 4 mo. ago.

z32turbo · 11 November 2012, 06:32 AM

I would suggest you wait and get the one you really want. Both the RG Chocolate and WG Meteorite are beautiful pieces.

Good luck!!!

ersnyder · 11 November 2012, 07:09 AM

For me, it's gotta be WG!

landroverking · 11 November 2012, 07:18 AM

For me I would WG. I hope my next Rolex is a WG Daytona on a strap.

caryyee · 11 November 2012, 07:22 AM

I got the RG. I didn't get the WG as I'm wanting a WG Sub with the blue dial.

The RG is a beauty. More restrained than the YG, but you still know it's a gold watch, whereas the WG looks like SS (nothing wrong in that, but for your first gold watch, I'd go YG or RG rather than WG. For a first gold watch, I'd want it to at least look like gold).

Trouble15 · 11 November 2012, 08:46 AM

Can't go wrong with either, RG with a chocolate dial is in my opinion one of the most stunning combinations.

nauticajoe · 11 November 2012, 09:14 AM

WG for me.

Ticking_Sonata · 11 November 2012, 10:06 AM

WG all the way, go for slate grey dial is really nice

cjlewis610 · 11 November 2012, 01:16 PM

I have been drooling over the Rosegold myself. It something I was skeptical until i saw it in person. Can't stop thinking about it presently and the chocolate dial would be amazing to have on my wrist.

Hairdude1 · 11 November 2012, 01:22 PM

Wg!!!

www777 · 11 November 2012, 01:24 PM

Have both but if just one would do wg...no rg...no wg. Can't go wrong with either.

nick c · 11 November 2012, 01:26 PM

RG

77T · 11 November 2012, 01:38 PM

White Gold for my vote.

2 dials are great -

the meteorite......................................the panda

..

The thing about meteorite is each one is unique - some have distinct crystalline structural surface, while others look just like a Yachmaster platty dial surface.

Because of that I'd recommend seeing a meteorite dial before buying or be sure returns are accpeted.

brkanand · 11 November 2012, 02:05 PM

Rose Gold - without a doubt; but my opinion!

BNA/LION · 11 November 2012, 02:08 PM

WG Meteorite for me...

watchwatcher · 11 November 2012, 02:16 PM

WG with black Arabic/red accents...

Starwalker · 11 November 2012, 03:51 PM

RG! it's absolutely stunning!

concepta · 11 November 2012, 06:36 PM

WG with slate dial! I love the modern look of slate grey dials!

Only RG I would get is a AP ROO because it keeps the sporty look together with the bling ;-)
