Bluesy has a lot of bling. I agree. I’d say the solid yellow gold version is even more blingy. YG Day Dates too.

Come on... it's gotta be the yellow gold DD. At least it always gets my attention.

Once you shine some light on a Sky Dweller they're not subtle.

In my experience the skydweller screams Rolex. It’s basically a DJ (the most common identifiable Rolex) on steroids from a distance.

I would say anything in full yellow or rose gold, with an emphasis on peculiar dials like Green, Meteorite or similarly esoteric ones.

It fits the entire narrative of chasing value and screaming look at me.

Exactly why I no longer want to own this brand

I don’t disagree, but you’d better scratch AP and Patek off your list, too. FPJ, RM, etc. The instagrammers and crypto bros will probably move on, eventually, but not yet.

yikes i guess anyone who owns a day date or datejust or any other watch deemed blingy just wants attention, apparently you're not allowed to be a watch enthusiast and wear/appreciate loud watches (or a rolex) anymore. and ofc you just had to slip in the fact that you no longer want to own a rolex yet again, like you do every week, because somehow that offends you

gatekeeping at its finest

Honestly if you're in a shady area, I don't think the plain jane black submariner is any less likely to attract attention

Of course I'm not saying the SS Sub is as flashy, but, if there are thieves around looking at everyone's wrists trying to score some money, yes.
