Why is the Smurf on your list then?

There are aftermarket diamond encrusted Rolex on C24 that are surprisingly cheap. If you want flashy, get something with aftermarket diamonds.

I am just getting started into Rolex and debating if i should spend 40k on 1 watch versus getting a Two-Tone GMT Master II or TT Daytona or both or Hulk and TT Daytona?

My wrist is 6.25' so i cannot carry off a 44mm YMII Model that well.

Thanks All !
At 6.25 feet, your wrist should be able to carry off the 44mm YMII easily.

if the concern is how much other people think you spent then go down to Canal Street and get a fake Nautilus

You are worrying too much about how the watch and you appear to others, which is typical of novice Rolex buyers, so spend some time on this forum and you will come to the forum conclusion that the watch should be for you and not anyone else, it should be a true expression of who you are, not what you want others to believe of you.

Actually the new Pepsi is the flashiest by far. The jubilee
Grabs light and reflects it all over, now there are several colors making for a not all that integrated appearance, you have pastel pinkish/reddish against purplish/bluish, black, and silver. The ceramics are very shiny and reflective and the wider lugs increase wrist presence. I can’t think of a louder watch in their entire collection, save for the look at me rainbow Daytona.

Anything on a jubilee with a fluted bezel and a contrasting dial will pop and get noticed.

Not sure of the motives of the OP but anything in TT may give the impression he can't afford solid gold. He may want to save up a bit and go that route. I'm not trying to be a dick or put down TT wearers, just trying to put myself in his shoes. In his case, image seems to matter.
