I would personally get the silver one. It depends on how much you want a rose-gold or a gold one. But I heard also that they tend to wear off after some while. Can't imagine that silver looks as bad as gold when it "wears off". Good luck

When you say "silver", I think you are referring to the stainless steel ones. Those do not have any plating at all so you don't have to worry about anything rubbing off.

I have a yellow gold and a rose gold Day-Date. Plating is fine (except being a bit thin between the links). If you do end up ever getting a plated watch, just like with gen plated watches like Seiko's, just make sure to wipe them down with a watch cloth after each wear and they will last much longer. Apparently it's the oils and moisture from our wrists/fingers that cause a reaction with the base metals or the plating to wear thin.

thanks a lot for your answer. I consider buying only silver watches "stainless steel"
