Green dial and Blue Dial Daytonas

Is the yellow gold/green dial too overwhelming ? I've watched several videos on it and love it. Thoughts on the white gold/blue dial ? Any wrist shots you guys can post ?

Considering asking my SA for either of these.

totally subjective. no right or wrong. i think it's really obvious that the YG green dial combo will stand out more while the white gold will much more under the radar. Id go for the green dial and yellow gold.

The Yellow gold is gorgeous! BUT I cannot pull it off. I prefer WG.

I know about the whole John Mayer thing with the YG but is it less plentiful than the white gold in general ?

I’ve seen a WG/Blue at my AD (years ago) and it was spectacular.

Yellow gold stands out a lot. Maybe in a good way for some. The white gold is much more low key. Both are great.

Yes the yellow gold and green dial is a Christmas tree on the wrist, a very showy piece. The blue dial white gold is very subdued and classy more like the stainless variants but with a splash of colour.

Its a great buy in secondary market.
With some effort, you can find one close to retail

Green dial and Blue Dial Daytonas








Some pics, it is really beautiful and very easy to wear. It sits nicely on your wrist, not too top-heavy so it doesn’t want to rotate.

Both are gorgeous timepieces and John Mayer talked about them both.

YG green dial Daytona is my most favorite Rolex.

White gold with blue dial is my favourite non ceramic Daytona. The green is awesome but you have to be quite special to pull off the yellow gold.

WG for me.

Just really not a fan of yellow gold, and not a fan of green…
