I’m polar opposite and want under the radar timepieces. Nice and stealth is my personal preference. Many choices that fit what you’re looking for though.

YG flashier but believe me the RG grey dial is the business.
6.25 inch wrist and a Sky-Dweller don't work, guy wants to be flashy on a budget and will look like a dork with anything above 40mm

They are 36K only if any AD has them, but unfortunately no longer available in that price range and is at 48-52K these days

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 !
None of these, this:

YG is flashier than RG or WG. So, based on the limited choices...

Gotta go with TT Daytona.

I have a RG Daytona and idk if it’s particularly flashy compared to a anything else. I feel like most people think it’s a Michael Korda watch to be honest. But it’s the best watch I’ve ever owned and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

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.
This.

40k is a hell of a budget

36mm DD cherry would be the business

Perhaps you could 'carry off', a mid-size, or maybe a ladies watch. Many of them are flashy, and perhaps small enough for you.
