Champagne Or Everose for OysterFlex Daytona?

I’m having a hard time deciding between these two. I want one that would shine better in person. Because of the Daytona shortage, Ads are having hard time keeping them in showcase for me to go see it. So I would like to ask you guys if you have seen or own one of them and can share your opinion.

Although I'm not really a big fan of the Champagne dials, this one is stunning. I'd go for the. YG.

The problem is every single one of these in the entire lineup look awesome. All of them. Rose gold, yellow gold, white gold, all of them. Every dial combination. Totally awesome.

I saw both in person before, both looks very good but I preferred bracelet over OF, so I went for YG with Green dial.

If between WG vs YG, I vote WG. I find the YG dial too washed out for personal taste, but hey, personal taste, if you love it, totally go for it.

If between YG vs RG, I'd go RG but Chocolate sunburst or Black.

I have the WG version and its a stunning watch. I have seen a yellow gold version and I prefer mine.
That said I can also understand those who say if its gold it should be yellow or rose gold.

Personally if I go gold it's yellow. However on this piece the white gold works really well.

Depends on what you already have.

When I was picking an OF Daytona, I went with the WG 519 since I already had a YG bracelet Daytona 116508.

If you don't have any YG, I would take that one. If you do, take the WG.

OP wants to know which one shines better in person:-> its Yellow Gold.

Rose Gold disappears on skin tones

White Gold, well, that doesn't really out shines YG by looking like a yellow-y steel

now, the SHINNIEST of all, has to be the 1990s 16528 YG Daytonas with the Champagne Dials, those are insane cool.

Some take their coffee with cream... some, with sugar... some, black.

It’s just a matter of taste.
