Yellow gold decision finally made***INCOMING**

Well, after pondering this one for a bit, and my first taste of a PM with my white gold sub, 116619 a few months ago, I have been wanting to try a full yellow gold. I have went everywhere with this, from a Skydweller , to YM2, to sub or GMT. Decision made a few days ago and had the AD send me the new one. He also included some Rolex swag, and other goodies

Any guesses on what I decided on?

You didn't list DD40 which was my first guess. I'm hoping its green dial gmt2 as I love that thing.

I was in similar situation not long ago, and I chose skyd. You can't go wrong with either, but I'm guessing skyd.

I'm guessing GMT from that list, although I wonder if it's a DD40?

Congats, great choice! Everyone seems to get the blue, it's nice to see somebody with the black. I think the YG and black color combo is really beautiful looking. Well done!

Congrats! I wanted to guess the sub, but I figured with the 116619 maybe you were looking to change it up.

It'll be interesting with time to see which you wear more between the 116618 and 116619.

Well, that looks great! My last purchase was a PM Daytona and that has spoiled me. If I ever buy another Rolex, it's PM only.

It's a sickness , but SS just doesn't cut it anymore.

I really struggled between this and the gmt black face. What one it for me in the end, is the ever so versatile glide lock...I can live without it on the PM pieces and the heavier ones like my DSSD.
