Olive as more rare desirable but can go wrong either way

This is very subjective. I personally would want the RG olive but it’s certainly a big price gap if you personally don’t like it any better than the chocolate dial.

You're obviously buying secondary market - which one is in better condition?

Agreed. Actually, I would go with the YG before either of the RG versions.
