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.

blufinz52 · 27 February 2019, 07:16 AM

Poll, not pole.

dkg1616 · 27 February 2019, 07:18 AM

Datejust - fluted - jubilee

joe100 · 27 February 2019, 07:25 AM

Oh this will end well

watchwatcher · 27 February 2019, 07:28 AM

So where's the pole?

EDIT: Ah, I see it's up now. Thanks.

Damm, you write some nonsense. I think you have some growing up to do.

The Rolex Airking..a watch made up of the best parts of other watches at a reasonable price .when compared to the other watches in the rolex range..
The air king the best bang for Buck Rolex bar none

shaunylw · 27 February 2019, 07:31 AM

So, your goal is that people notice your watch?

why

logo · 27 February 2019, 07:36 AM

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

Flash, presence and just stunning... Boom
Or the Full Bluesy PM if $$$ isn't an issue.

When I read your thread Invicta comes to mind.

ckaynyc · 27 February 2019, 08:36 AM

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

Kaioken x20 · 28 February 2019, 02:40 AM

Yet you won't share your opinion?

The flashiest cheaper Rolex is the TT GMT 116713LN.

Even more than the full gold

JayHantz · 28 February 2019, 03:20 AM

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.

crazycarlitos · 28 February 2019, 03:31 AM

U lost me at pole...

But this, from another thread, comes to mind for u.
It’s meant to be.

ltmgeller · 28 February 2019, 03:33 AM

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

Works equally as well for cars.

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.

Solo118 · 28 February 2019, 03:46 AM

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

Lump · 28 February 2019, 03:50 AM

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

ferrissteve11 · 28 February 2019, 03:50 AM

Could always go with a Diamond Bezel DD...

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.
