Yes indeed the GMT TTc is the one.

Not too much pop but a lot of presence.

Agreed.
The AP RO on bracelet pops only due to the discoball effect from the bracelet.
Had a previous colleague who commented on that saying "What the hell is that watch? The bracelet is amazing in the sunlight!"

Rolex that pops is definetly the Hulk.
And the 16713 Root Beer is definetly not under the radar. That bastard pops pretty well!

Depending on budget, I like the suggestion of the FP Journe CB. You can also look at the LF Galet or perhaps an ALS 1815 Up/Down or Zeitwerk.

What I mean by this, I own a few pieces, two of my favourites, the Tudor BB and JLC reverse ultra thin, however, on the wrist they are easily overlooked and it gets far less compliments than say my BLNR. I would describe the BLNR as being a watch that ‘pops’

I’m wanting a 3watch collection. JLC reversal ultra thin, DaytonaC and ....

I’m thinking of a day date in yellow gold, or a 15202. Any advice on the two or other watches which are statement pieces?

Thanks. Sorry if my question isn’t too clear.
Are you seeking something that makes you go "wow" when you glance at your wrist or something that will generate lots of attention from others?

If its the former then anything from Rolex with a sunburst dial, and if its the latter then may I suggest you click on this link below for some ideas:

Any Rolex TT or PM has a pop to it. I think that Rolex does the best with YG.

I'm not sure exactly why, but most two tome watches seem to catch my eye more that others. I'd go with a bluesy.

Bluesy has “pop”. More than the full gold IMO

I think the hulk pops the most especially in the AD light.

Anything in full Rose or Yellow gold. TT is eye catching as well.
The 15202 is more of an under the radar piece and only recognized by those "in the know".

The BLRO GMT Master has some pop. Not as “in your face” as the Bluesy but a standout none the less.

I suppose it depends...what statement are you trying to make?

Yep...certainly does. I think this may be my favorite TT sport model.

15400 royal oak does have the disco ball effect.
Any day date with fluted bezel pops.
On the fluted bezel note, check out the new Datejust 41 with fluted bezel and jubilee.
I own a 15400, 18238, and Daytona C in white and the DJ41 is really calling me

The Bluesy and Hulk are the first two that come to mind when I think of Rolex sports models that pop. The BLNR and polar explorer ii 43mm also pop with their splash of blue and orange, respectively, but to a lesser extent than any sunburst dial like the Bluesy or Hulk.

Sorry guys if you want a Rolex that pops you buy a Bust Down Rolex.

Not my style, but that's the way to go.
