Most will say explorer. But that BLRO speaks to me in a daily way

Most on the smaller side. I just think you have bigger than average wrist so sometimes you have to veer away from the “classic” norm. Although I don’t think it’s too small per sae, I just think the Milgaus and BLRO have that perfect size for your prooortions . All 3 are lovely nevertheless!! Edit: Wow after seeing it on that nylon I changed my mind a bit lol |

No knock on the others, but it really sets off the tattoos better as well. Great juxtaposition. |

And that's from relatively close up pictures the perspective of which usually makes the watch appear proportionally larger than it is in real life. At the end of the day, though, if you like it, that's all that matters

Ridiculous... it doesn't look too small at all. I would take a slightly smaller reference over one of the clownishly large watches any day.

Definitely the Explorer. Only a black-and-white watch will truly go with anything.

I’d wear them all. Probably rotate once a week. This way you get a week on the wrist with each and truly enjoy it.

Explorer for me, but I'd be happy wearing any of them.

Perfect 1-2-3 collection!
For my personal style, the Explorer would be my daily. I’d probably never take it off. |

Explorer for me. But I've never been a huge GV fan, and find the BLRO too big for my liking (personally).
As for how I typically rotate my watches, I have three I wear frequently and tend to alternate two at any given time (so they keep enough power reserve to keep going). Then, I'll change it up every so often. |

I'd probably pick the Explorer for myself.
But for you, I think the Milgauss looks the best on your wrist. |

Explorer for me… but I’m biased as I have a 14270. If it were a 5 digit GMT I could make an argument for that as well. The 6 digits are wonderful pieces but I think just a little bit on the showy side for an every day wear when it’s on the jubilee. Still kicks butt though.

For my wrist it would be the BLRO, but for yours, I'd say the Explorer (even though I'm not a fan of Explorers).
I just think the steel/black look works the best with your ink. So I actually think a submariner would be your perfect daily. Maybe you can go get one of those and let us see :) |

I understand the Explorer getting the popular vote, but damn that Milgauss looks great and that is my pick! It was my daily wearer for about a year and it wears great. I had the Explorer for a few weeks and it was just too average in my opinion unless I had it on a nato. I know some people like it for that reason and that's cool, but it just wasn't for me.

I’m partial to the Explorer, but that Milgauss looks great on your wrist. Definitely Milgauss of the three IMHO.

The Explorer looks great in contrast to your tattoos!

Explorer is a good understated watch and black dial goes with everything.
