Dear forum members, I have recently had the fortune of being able to afford my first precious metal Rolex. I'm thinking Yellow Gold because I want something obvious that will make an extremely clear statement, with the greatest possible amount of wrist presence. I am a relatively young guy (below 30), and have a couple of candidates in mind.

- Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold w/ Black Diamond Dial
- Rolex Ceramic GMT Yellow Gold "Tennis Court" Green Dial
- Rolex Ceramic Submariner Yellow Gold Black Face Dial
- Rolex Ceramic Submariner Yellow Gold Blue Face Dial
- Rolex President Day-Date w/ Black Diamond Dial
- Rolex Sky Dweller in Yellow Gold

Any thoughts (and votes) would be interesting and greatly appreciated. TYIA

Full Yellow Gold DayDate II Chanpagne Romans (see various threads of mine for pictorials)

If you want to make a statement, go with the fully diamond paved GMTIIc, otherwise wear what you like for only your own self!!

I voted SkyDweller, however I believe it is truely one that was no listed.
The Classic 18kt Sub Bluesy.

subtona · 14 October 2014, 05:24 AM

seriously?

HERITAGE82 · 14 October 2014, 05:27 AM

I think if your trying to make that kind of statement there is only one choice the 116769TBR

This way it will be loud and clear....

Buying a watch solely for the purpose of impressing others is a little silly. However, to answer your question, I would say that the YG Yachtmaster II is the most "in your face" YG Rolex...something about the white dial, blue bezel and overall size makes it a watch with a ton of wrist presence.

Hmm... right. I forgot about that model. Thanks.

My $.02.

If you had a nice hit and you've got extra cash, buy a nice SS watch and save the rest.

If your regularly raking in a lot of loot and you don't see an end to that, go nuts. Enjoy urself. I understand having a little pizaz to ur watch, but buy what you like best.

And just a quick adder, EVERY YG rolex makes a statrment.

you should know better ensign.

Time Exposure · 14 October 2014, 07:33 AM

Congrats on your good fortune!
I'd have to think a Day-Date2 on a President bracelet would be the most recognized as a Rolex. The gold part will be an obvious statement regardless of the model.

SC11 · 14 October 2014, 07:36 AM

Calling Muzz we need a leopard Daytona here

curtiskey · 14 October 2014, 07:45 AM

I have to second the YG Yachtmaster II. I have a client who has one and it just jumps right off the wrist.

Matt C · 14 October 2014, 07:49 AM

I would go with the black dial YG Sub, as it is one of my grail pieces and the black dial wears better than the blue IMO. God luck with your decision!

Headshrinker · 14 October 2014, 07:51 AM

Overall, I would agree on the Leopard Daytona with diamonds. May we ask why it is so important to make a statement and stand out?

sco · 14 October 2014, 07:57 AM

As previously said, with YG you are going to make a statement with any piece..

it fits the bill being YG

Majin Buu · 14 October 2014, 08:31 AM

You know.., my philosophy is "Daaang I make this watch look good..."
That said the All Gold Blue Sub is my ticket!

Cheers

Dashimmy · 14 October 2014, 08:39 AM

Whatever your do get, make sure your splash some Diamonds on there. That will get their attention.

sturgeon123456 · 14 October 2014, 08:55 AM

just get a really really big Cuban link bracelet in 14k gold if you want to make a statement. 99.999999 percent of people won't know you are wearing a rolex, those that do probably won't be impressed as they probably have one or 30 of them already. Honestly.....buying a rolex to make a statement and to be noticed etc etc may not be the way to go for you. Another thing to consider Is that people that have a hunch will assume it's fake. I'm relatively young as well, had my first few solids in my late 20s and no one noticed or asked and that's the way I liked it. And that's probably what will happen to you, except you are looking for attention.

That might do the job for the OP if it had a matching gold & diamond bracelet Muzzy.
