IMO the most presence of Rolex SS models as follow:

1. BLRO - due to bright colors and polished links
2. SkyDweller - due to polished bezel and polished links
3. Daytona C - due to popularity and polished links.

Wrist presence has nothing to do with high resolution images. A little watch looks different on the wrist than in big pictures. On me, a daytona is tiny-tiny and blends in. My SS YMII however, that is a stand out that gets compliments and attention. I believe only a watch-nerd, like myself, will notice a Daytona SS. A pop of color or warm luster of precious metal draws the attention.

YMII - all of them
PM or TT Sky-D
D-Blue
Smurf

Fully agree. I’ve got both and the YMII is much more eye catching

If attention is being sought, ramp up to the YG YMII! Can’t miss that beauty

Nobody will notice your SS (Rolex) watch. Gold yes. Fluted bezel and polished center links will shine a bit as well so it might get some attention but a brushed sub... Nobody cares, nobody has a clue. Your new/latest iphone will get more attention then your 100K Patek.

Thoughts on the most wrist presence of SS models? Apparently I”m too close to Rolex

I think all these have a lot bling:

BLRO
DJ with fluted bezel and jubilee.
Skydweller
BLNR
YM I & II

I didn’t think it would but the D-Blue surprisingly attracts a lot of attention especially from other Rolex owners. Even more so than the Green Sub and the iconic Daytona.

I think the oysters with PCLs are way more blingy than jubilees.

I think it’s the Sky Dweller to me.

I know for sure it’s NOT an Explorer 2, mine has never been noticed.

I think DSSD and anything in yellow gold is the obvious answer

Another vote for the YM II. I’ve never seen one in the wild but did try it on at a local AD. It just screams “look at me”. I hate to admit I also liked it, but had zero use for the nautical complication.

Blue Skydweller has the most bling of all SS models.

So what has the most wrist presence? DSSD JC or YM2. I kinda feel a sunburst also dial amps up the wrist presence factor. I wore a Bluesy for 18 years and that was off the scale but that is disqualified as being a TT and not a full SS.
I see people on here all the time saying the Explorer has too much bling for them. I guess they think the bezel catches attention. Proves your point.

I don't think anyone really has noticed mine... not that they've said anyway...

But I do have 8.5" wrists... so it doesn't look massive on me. I think if you have smaller wrists a watch like the Sky-D sticks out... but to me the Sky-D wears no bigger than my beater Seiko Turtles really.
