Dont make a decision unless your 100%

Watch anxiety is just a diversion from another issue in your life

Figure what that is before making any decsions

Lol good points.

It was also pointed out to me that PM watches will lose value much quicker than some of the more iconic stainless pieces. Something to consider if you aren't planning to keep the watch forever

I couldn't do it, Brett. YG just doesn't suit me. If I were to trade up my four SS pieces (which I have no intention of doing) I would have to go WG or platinum

OP, for my 1.4p if money is not an issue then pay the extra and go for the WG Sub

When you go all gold, you will never look at SS watches the same way!

Don't go for it!

It looks ugly like an Easter egg.

The OP Date on top of the pic looks much more classy :-)

All gold is fantastic. If you're self conscious, that will probably go away after a few weeks. However, the great thing about white gold is that it will always fly under the radar. It'll be your own little secret which is pretty cool!

I have never been a two tone fan. Always thought that a watch should be either silver or gold tone and not both. Having said that, I have been considering a bluesy over the past month or so. When I had a YG DD it was a little to much watch for a simple guy like me, especially once I moved out of blingy Miami.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to prefer WG but now I'm really wanting a 116618LB. IMHO the YG Subs and GMT are the most beautiful watches Rolex has. I'm a huge fan of the YG GMT with a green dial. The new YachtMaster in Rose Gold with the Oysterflex is amazing as well.

Much happier! Once you go full gold, you won't go back...

Thanks everyone

So I slept on it and today got the box out for my 116613lb and went through all the reasons I bought it in the first place. I re-lived the AD purchase experience and even the little things like the fact that the random serial starts with my favourite number

I have decided to keep my 116613 because I realised I couldn't bare to part with it. I guess all this means I really did make the right choice in the first place!!!

Phew that's saved my lots of $$$..........for now
