Completely agree. Maybe the new black/grey GMT in YG on jubilee will pave the way for a WG jubilee for the 719

Well, it stands to reason that WG is 3x cooler than SS!

That said, if money is not an issue and it purely comes down to aesthetics and wearability, I prefer the SS.

It’s lighter on the wrist, and you can get it with the jubilee bracelet which is more comfortable (to me) than the oyster. I also prefer the gloss black dial

Maybe that should have read… ‘huge white gold elephant in the room ,,, ‘

….Sorry, I’ll get my coat !

From Tim Mosso … skip to 4:15 to understand in 10 seconds what the WG Pepsi is all about.

I decided I'm going to sell my purple watches, but holding off for the generation after the next, I heard the colors will be dialed to perfection.

I think that I’m exactly the opposite …

1. WG Blue dial
2. SS Oyster
3. SS Jubilee
4. WG Meteorite

Roger, I am with you on this as well. The meteorite was disappointing in the flesh for me, and it was difficult to tell the time. No bueno.

The video of the blue dial is amazing. Looks totally different than the pictures on the web site.

Not if buying in the grey market. New SS watches are still priced well over retail and there are deals to be had on WG.

If both watches were offered at retail it would be foolish to buy the white gold version. If however one would have to buy from the secondary market I would consider the white gold to be a more attractive choice. Watch goes for under retail and is not much more expensive than the steel version.
