If you were to wear a yellow or white gold watch which would you choose and why? Perhaps you think one just looks better on you. Maybe you like the "Bling" factor of yellow gold or conversly how understated white gold can be.

Personally, as a young 28 yr old Caucasian man i find yellow gold looks out of place. Although sometimes i feel I would appreciate that extra eye candy!

sickened1 · 16 March 2016, 12:28 PM

White gold because YG doesn't look good on me.

tomchicago · 16 March 2016, 12:30 PM

white white white white white. this ain't 1976.

nick c · 16 March 2016, 12:33 PM

Yellow gold for me gold always in style

handsfull · 16 March 2016, 12:37 PM

In terms of 'looks'...I prefer yellow. That said, wearing yellow requires some age behind your belt. YMMV.

michael067 · 16 March 2016, 12:40 PM

Love yellow gold, classy and always grabs a bit of attention. Plus everyone thinks WG is SS.

busytimmy · 16 March 2016, 12:46 PM

Love looking at YG off the wrist, but it's a no-go for me.. WG all the way. There is something special about WG as well and that is how under the radar it is..

seand442 · 16 March 2016, 12:49 PM

For the next 30 years, white gold. After that, I can probably pull off yellow.

japenney · 16 March 2016, 12:52 PM

I find it very interesting that people associate the ability to wear yg with age. Personally im jealous of people with darker skin tones..they seem to be able to wear it easily!

Mr Kram · 16 March 2016, 12:52 PM

white gold for me. you have to be able to rock the yellow, especially on a bracelet. i have a safe queen day date that has seen daylight on only a handful of occasions in 20 years.

MichaelFlash · 16 March 2016, 12:54 PM

White is nice but yellow is better.

Viv Savage · 16 March 2016, 12:58 PM

Either depending on dial colour, model, strap or bracelet.

Al1969 · 16 March 2016, 12:59 PM

Yellow gold for me.

DJ TT 2002 · 16 March 2016, 01:06 PM

There is a "warmth" to YG

beancooker · 16 March 2016, 01:07 PM

I'd personally go with two tone.

If that's not an option, yellow gold.

Chewbacca · 16 March 2016, 01:10 PM

white for now.

but, i really like what rolex has done with rose gold tones.

rabbithole88 · 16 March 2016, 01:17 PM

Both :)

RastabanStar · 16 March 2016, 01:20 PM

Yellow.

Steel is my white metal of choice.

diracpoint · 16 March 2016, 01:22 PM

WG, prefer its under the radar appearance.

YG looks absolutely gorgeous but I never felt comfortable wearing them (even though I have darker skin tone) ... just personal taste.

jbenjamin1 · 16 March 2016, 01:23 PM

White gold however the yellow gold GMT with green bezel is the exception!

dominic.warren · 16 March 2016, 01:24 PM

This!

xQx · 16 March 2016, 01:28 PM

For Rolex (especially with a bracelet): White gold only.

A Patek or JLC I'd consider YG partly because of the rarity/cost of WG, but also because there's a lot less gold bezel.

Not everybody can pull off yellow gold I think.

Le Chef · 16 March 2016, 01:31 PM

Discreet, under the radar, less likely to attract attention. If you prefer being the opposite then YG is the right choice for you.

Danny83 · 16 March 2016, 02:12 PM
