The serti dial YM would be hard to find, but what about the current YM line? They’re lovely and probably one of the easiest Rolex models to buy at retail. I think I even prefer the rose gold YM to the rose gold Daytona. It’s stealthy.
I would check with your AD on a Rolex. You can be put on the list, but most likely you'll be waiting a bit to get one. Doesn't mean you won't get one. Just depends what your AD receives in their shipment and who else requested the same configuration. With this in mind, the OP would be a great everyday piece.
I think Tudor is also a great option. I own a 1926 and was considering the Black Bay silver in a 36mm. Omega and Breitling are great options as well.

I believe the green face PP above was pre sold well before it came to the boutique.
Only to prior clients of the PP in good standing.
DH isn’t a PP or AP person. He Adores ALange & sohne.
DH wears three ALange & Sohne casually:
stainless Odysseus
white gold/rubber odysseus
zeitwork
he’s waiting for a Grande Lange 1 which will be his dressy watch
he has a Rolex GMT coke which was a gift from me, I think, several decades ago?
he bought an graphene? The light one. Hermes H08 but forgets to wear it
If I wear a watch casuallu (not usually bc of my jewelry)
mainly I wear big watches, no diamonds:
IWC mens portugueser
JLC power reserve, skeleton back reverso
Breguet heritage WG tonneau is the smallest.
im always looking for a YG or PG watch
decades ago, I used to wear cartier tank francais, santos, and gold Rolex, from family
I saw a ALange type 1 with guilloche honey gold dial
might eventually get a Bulgari serpenti for fun
these days, I prefer jewelry

Wow that’s gorgeous.. If I had that watch , I would wear it as an every day
Thank you so much. I was thinking yellow, but I wasn’t actually crazy about the shape or color of the various watch faces
I think the Cartier tank watches are great everyday watches. I couldn't go overboard in my profession and always found them to work in a professional setting.
That's sounds perfect to me, no one would appreciate my suggestions, I like a very unassuming watch for everyday, every day. I vintage Cartier Tank (or a JLC Reverso) would be so smart and elegant.
I tried this on and I wasn't in love. Still on the hunt, but appreciate all of the suggestions!Beautiful choices! Green Aquanaut is tdf

I got on the list for this rolex (I tried on the AD's watch & loved it)
I also tried on this Hublot that my husband liked.
Not original lol, but a Rolex stainless steel tool watch or as someone mentioned above, a Tudor or tag heuer for a more under the radar quality
Hermes graphene H08 is nice, but DH doesnt Reach for it as much as stainless ALange Odysseus or other.
