From these comments I think you should redo the poll adding the yellow gold green dial Daytona!

YG Daytona Green Dial is the one to get. With a 6.25” wrist the modern Rolexes aside from the Daytona will wear really big due to the maxi case. Get a Gold Daytona as it will fit best.

YG YM2 or full gold SkyD. Like someone else said. The bezel reflects a lot of light and definitely screams look at me. I tried on a rose gold SkyD with white face around Christmas and holy S*** that is a beautiful watch.

Off your list to me is the rose gold Daytona. But I think the yellow gold blue sub is far more flashier.

Different strokes for different folks. I prefer subtlety. Go with a gold YMII.

Yellow gold Daytona for sure

I think yellow gold is probably going to be the flashiest metal

Now I wonder, all yellow gold, what is flashier?

A DD40? A sub? Or a Daytona?

I think it would be between DD40 and Daytona

Hands down the YM II yellow Gold. Size, color and design puts it way above the others.

As much as it pains me to applaud you, I LOVE your honesty. Many guys here won’t admit it but they bought their watch for other people to see.

With that said, it reminds me of a saying...

“We buy things we dont need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like”


Try not being so vain......

Then he needs to look at something in YG with a fluted bezel.

You're correct; I missed that. YG Daytona will fit best with most flash!!! GMTs will be large on you.

Iced out yellow gold Daytona fits the bill.

Slightly over $40k though ...
You can replace some diamonds with Cubic zirconia to reduce price to $40k.

Honestly, I think the flashiest without gem set bezel for under 40k (well below) is the TT Sub Bluesy.

It pops just right
