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

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.

Old Expat Beast · 14 October 2014, 09:09 AM

Just bear in mind that what will be a 'profound statement' to some will be a vulgar display of wealth to others.

jonathan17 · 14 October 2014, 01:00 PM

Not in the list but when i saw it in person my jaw dropped. I saw a similar combo with an emerald bezel for the gmt last year in Milan. Not something il buy but if im making a statement il look for this one.

Now that's what I call an LV

Note the absence of depth rating on the dial

BNA/LION · 14 October 2014, 10:00 AM

Buy what you like from your list, they are all nice watches.

Personally, I like to buy a watch that I like that feels good on and fits well.

Danex · 14 October 2014, 10:08 AM

Have you considered the Platinum Daytona?

viper9669 · 14 October 2014, 10:18 AM

Douglas,

Buying a Rolex only makes a statement that you appreciate good quality and reliability.

Acquiring a YG Rolex only makes a statement that you appreciate the quality and reliability, just in a precious metal form.

jjnd08 · 14 October 2014, 10:35 AM

A lot of good advice on this thread. If you are looking for the biggest "peacock" watch, it may look like you are compensating for "other" areas.

To answer your question, see Rick Ross' watch.

Yeah that's as good as it gets!!!!

tkerrmd · 14 October 2014, 10:39 AM

I understand you want that baller feeling so either Steves leopard Daytona, diamond bezel president or this....

LuminousMaximus · 14 October 2014, 10:44 AM

I have to say this because it makes a statement and it will continue making a statement for a long time...

Classic

LuminousMaximus · 14 October 2014, 10:45 AM

Thanks Steve but you my man have some of the coolest watches and pics around!

This tends to be cultural. YG and diamonds are prized by men in the Orient and middle east as a sign of wealth.

Less so in America and Europe, except for gangsta's and rappers and working class men who have come into money. A generalization, with obvious exceptions.

theken · 14 October 2014, 11:01 AM

18K YG Day Date II would be my choice.

kilyung · 14 October 2014, 11:04 AM

Get a Ferrarri instead. It'll get noticed more than any watch.

I agree, any sports car will get noticed a thousand times more often then a teeny tiny watch. The only people who will notice your watch and assume it is not a plated Michael Kors type will be a WIS or other Rolex owners and they will know what you have so no need to extra peacock it, so I would just choose the YG watch that appeals to you the most.

Capvvc · 14 October 2014, 11:23 AM

I like the the oyster bracelet on the sky d. The story behind the "first annual calendar", large wrist presence and current limited production helped me to make a decision.. Great watch, and I'm happy with my choice.

lipjin · 14 October 2014, 11:41 AM

Man the amount of bling in this thread is mesmerizing :)

Ever considered diamond APs:)?

mike · 14 October 2014, 10:29 PM

Man, I don't know. I'd say be the best there is at what you do and that SS Sub will become legend.

REDiesel · 14 October 2014, 11:08 PM

At the insistence of a salesman I tried one of these on at an AD a few weeks ago. It's the GMT-Master II Gold 116758 SARU. Talk about bling.

SubMarine · 14 October 2014, 11:14 PM
