To me wrist presence isn't the same thing as looking for a watch that will get you glances. Wrist presence is when you can't look away. For that it's a sunburst dial like the Hulk or Bluesy. If glances are what you want anything YG or TT would work just fine.

We are grown men/woman talking about wrist toys. I don’t know that the invicta forum is any different. Maybe they are smarter because they are not wearing cars on their wrists

Since there is no "like" button I'll just say that a little perspective is always nice.

Not as embarrassing as being a Rolex forum member for a month and asking which Rolex is "flashier".

You consider those budget watches...smh

Then go for the rainbow Daytona, since you're a baller, everyone will notice that.

Bluesy IMO and it is also best bang for the buck as there is more flash than the solid gold bluesy at more than half the price.

Which is flashier? BFE (Budget Friendly Edition)

Thankfully I’m on Tapatalk and can’t see this pole the OP is dancing around.

I’m sparing him the pain of an opinion as he doesn’t care. I see a short journey here.

Michael Kors is flashy.

Get that flashy out of your system and then decide what Watch is right for you.

Most bling per buck must be bluesy! You see that thing 50m away. For some reason TT seems almost flashier than full gold.

Most flashy of those is a TT, and then with a fluted bezel, so a DJ. DD is probably what you ultimately want, that's where most rappers go on their 2nd/3rd song.

The Sky-Dweller in any metal or dial configuration will stand out. A full PM watch in YG or RG will also standout.

There is a difference between wrist presence and flash. One should never aspire to flash.

It is reasons/threads like this that gives people wearing Rolex a bad reputation...

Why? Because my views are different from your typical conservative old white man views?

Come on man. Open your mind. We're all different

Wanting to wear a Rolex purely for the flash factor has nothing to do with your politics, age, race, or sex, and everything to do with your taste.

Or lack thereof.

Interesting question. Flash is bad taste? I like TT and diamonds. I'm not sure how much my DJ gets noticed (especially this time of year), but I don't think it's in poor taste.

No worries, if you do think it's ugly, etc. Horses for courses . . . .
