Sea dweller vs Turn-o-graph vs Milgauss

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a gold Day-Date presidential which I use as a daily. I've had it for about 3 years. I'm young and feel like I want a newer, relaxed daily user. But I want one that will have street cred. One that looks good but has soul, if that makes sense. I want one to know which one people who appreciate Rolex, like the members of this forum, would choose. So what should I get:
1) Sea Dweller
2) Turn-o-graph
3) Milgauss

I'd say the Sea Dweller. The Turn-o-graph would look similar to your day-date, and the Milgauss is pretty obscure. You might also want to consider a Submariner.

Sea Dweller for the young crowd.

definitely the SeaDweller. It's a tough dive watch that is just too cool. Also "younger" IMO than your other choices.

the Turnograph is the most similar to your current piece. I don't like the Milgauss that much.

SD or GV would get you "street cred" with WISs.

Sea Dweller (but I would not choose the Deep Sea) or a Submariner Date.

I vote for a white dial TT TOG.
2nd place is the Milgauss. ( 1 white dial, 2 GV, 3 Black dial)
3rd contestant is not in goal yet

If it's street-cred you're after from those three, then it'd have to be the SD.

If you like something cool for young man, I think you will get a lot of attraction on Milgauss GV. However, SD Is a must to have too.

Out of those, the DSSD would have the best cred. Also to consider for cred for a young man, is the Pepsi GMT or GMT IIc and probably the best of all ( having just seen one on Paul Hartson on Soccer AM) a SS Daytona in white.

Among your three choices: SD for "street cred". I would suggest a 16610 Sub would be a better option in this instance though.

I'd go with the DSSD (or a SD) then a Millie, then a TOG. As for "Street Cred"..whatever that is...get what you like and not something that you think will have others perceive you in a certain way.

TRF members probably "appreciate" all three choices, so, I don't know what to say as to "cred" among Rolex owners and fans...... But, when considering your current watch, an SD or DSSD would be the most different, if that's something important to you. A Milgauss is probably more appreciated by a Rolex fan over a layman.....the TOG is a great watch, but tough to compare against the others.

If "unique" is what you seek, go with the Milgauss GV!

Well, I have both the Sea Dweller and The Milgauss. What does that tell you?

The SD for daily use, the Milgauss for dress occasions?
