Greetings fareed.ali
And also greetings to the rest of the members of this wonderful forum. I to had to make the decision as to which Duometre to choose for myself. My A.D. asked me which metal I would like so that he could request that piece as he is a relitively small distributor and would not have access to more than one for quite some time. I choose the RG based on pictures alone for its warmth and textured dial...(the platinum was very appealing too but having just purchased a platinum Datograph I felt the need to diversify my metals). After a very long wait my watch finally arrived this past Friday and I must say that I am more than pleased with my choice. Nicolas posted some gorgeous pictures of the RG version when it was first released that helped boost my confidence when I was waiting for my own...I strongly recommend a look at them. No matter which route you go with you will be at worst very happy. Good Luck!!! Also a quick thank you to all those who have contribute regularly to this forum. I have really enjoyed reading all of your very informative posts.
Duometre: YG vs RG

I have an opportunity to get a Duometre in yellow gold. But I am not sure if the Rose gold version is a better looking watch. I think the gold/blue hands of the RG looks really sharp - more striking than the more conservative gold/black of the YG version....

And the friendly welcomes. I have already seen the excellent photos on the site which have been helpful. Price should not be a consideration as I think if I can get the RG it should be close in price. I believe you are right I will try to see them both in...

Mine comes with a white dial, which corresponds to the Boutique Edition ( not a L.E ) The grzey dial is the " normal " dial, and is really beautiful, too. I changed the strap for a dark blue one, too. As for the hands, they are the same. Depending on the ...
