Which is flashier? BFE (Budget Friendly Edition)

What's best bang for buck wrist presence in your opinion?
I got a pole of some of the Rolex models I believe would carry good wrist presence at a reasonable budget.

For further context: which model catches the most glances?
What do you think of this list?

PS:
Spare me your "I wear my Rolex for me and I could care less what others think" comments.
I don't care.

Tie for first:

1. TT DJ41 with gold dial
1. TT bluesy
3. TT Sky-D with gold dial

DJ has the jubilee and fluted bezel which explode in the light, so flashy in the literal sense of the word. TT sub is flashy based on the color, in that it is bright and bold, but has less gold presence if that's what you're after lol...
Sky-D is bigger with a fluted bezel, but the jubilee "flashes" more I think.

But based on your post and poll, I vote you get a full rose gold pearlmaster encrusted with diamonds

I didn't expect to see those models on the list when thinking BFE.

The flashiest cheaper Rolex is the TT GMT 116713LN.

Even more than the full gold

Objectively, 90% of the population does not care about the watch you have on. Friends of mine with full PMs and watches in the 100K range hardly get complimented on their watch. Interestingly enough, another friend with a MVMT gets told “nice watch” all the time. So budget friendly, maybe go that route.

As for your list, subjectively I think a full PM in rose or yellow gold will have the most wrist presence.

You need a PM piece. The Bluesy would be my 2nd choice.

Ginormous and/or shiny. PM Rolex isn't exactly BFE for most, so Breitling comes to mind with their large case sizes and polished bracelets.

Super Avenger II on bracelet. 48mm and shiny. Can be had on secondary market under $5K.

I 2nd Breitling. Much more wrist presence with busy dial, polished links, general size, etc.

If money isn’t an issue, go diamond finished Rolex. Otherwise, Jubilee with flutted bezel will do the trick.

Bluesy... best bang for the buck if you want a TT Watch. The only TT I would have personally, just stunning.

I’m not sure what you think you’ll get in return for other people being drawn to your ‘flashy’ watch.
