WG Sub-C Dino. For some reason it looks better then the YG to me on your wrist. But, I can see how this would feel like you just changed the bezel and dial color. However, I bet the WG has a very different feel than SS.

I am sure you will be even happier with your next purchase. ps if you are going to insure your next watch just budget for the extra premium. I look forward to seeing what you pick.

I do actually love the WG Sub.. Its a seriously "hefty" timepiece, which you will never forget is on your arm.. 18k just feels "special"

Thanks Matt! I believe you are also in a similar dilema to myself, if memory serves me well, arn't you considering selling up for an 18K piece too?


Which one are you leaning towards most?

There's no choice - its the YG GMT Black Face

I was in the exact same position as you. I had the green sub but gold just called out to me. I loved the look of the WG Blue sub and the DDII, but then I just thought over and over that if I'm going to get a $30,000USD watch, I want it to be really special and stand out. There is no other YG watch that stands out as young and incredibly cool as the YG GMT black face. It's sporty, but incredibly classy. It's relatively rare, and combines the absolute best of sports and the raw class of yellow gold. If you are going to get gold, get gold, get the YG GMT black face. I did and it is the best decision I ever made.

Piper, there is nothing rare about the 116718, it's just another gold Rolex timepiece that has a high production rate, however, I am extremely happy you are ecstatic about yours... Now as the other members have stated, let's see some pics!

YES SIR you are being talked about halfway around the world not only on TRF by SMS too Not sure if that is really cool or if it says we all need help

Congrats buddy, the LVc is a beautiful watch but as you know I have been through a few of them myself.

I must say the DD2 looks simply amazing on you however I would lean towards the YG Sub Blue dial, this is my all time favorite! Every time I try this piece on I almost leave with it. Tough call and I for one cannot wait to see what you get. I am happy for you buddy!!! Best of luck with your decision and it is about damn time you started flipping Rolex along with the occasional Breitling

3 great options to choose from Dino. My personal favorite is the WG Sub, but for some reason I don't think that will satisfy your craving for gold. The DDII seems like it would be a great fit for you.

If you were to add a 4th option...that YG GMT like Sam has is absolutely stunning...hands down my favorite gold Rolex.

It's fun enabling and seeing someone acquire their dream timepiece, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have my 116718

Thank's John, hopefully that 216570 will be in your wrist by 2012 or 2013

Dino so now that the Hulk is gone, we will be anticipating what your next acquisition will be! Good luck again.
