Icon14 Most Flashy Rolex - Under 40K

Which one would you guys pick:

1. Rose Gold Daytona
2. Root Bear GMT Master II
3. Yellow Gold Daytona

I am just getting started into Rolex and debating if i should spend 40k on 1 watch versus getting a Two-Tone GMT Master II or TT Daytona or both or Hulk and TT Daytona?

My wrist is 6.25' so i cannot carry off a 44mm YMII Model that well.

Thanks All !

Why do you want the most flashy one for? To show off on Instagram?

Perhaps this isn’t the same, but the Rolex with the most wrist presence to me is the Dblue.

... or perhaps I was just self conscious wearing it

The chocolate and rose gold on the GMT are the most flashy to me

Agreed but i would not want to spend 40k for example on a white gold - blue dial (smurf) that to a normal person would appear as a 10k watch.

If you want the most flashiest Rolex its not on your list

Yellow Gold Skydweller on Bracelet. THAT is a big big chunk of gold right there with fluted bezel. Its going to shine like crazy and get you alot of attention if thats what you want. Thats about 280 grams of solid gold.

You will struggle to find it at $40k Brand New though. Second hand its doable.

None on your list are the most flashy. Most any YG model on bracelet would be the answer

I’d go RG skydweller on bracelet. I saw one in the wild once and it looked like a million dollars lol

YG flashier but believe me the RG grey dial is the business.

Newsflash: 99.9% of the population are not watch enthusiasts and won't notice your 'flashy' rolex.
