Welcome

To answer your question I don't know but if your trading involves international deals with different time zones then the GMT or ExplorerII may be a popular choice.

A submariner--new or old will always do the trick--always in style--always in favor--a riskless trade--pure arbitrage!!! New or old--guards or no guards--pointed or squared!! Go for it!!

Any rolex will fit right in. Right now, the young money wall street types seem to be favoring the giant breitlings and panerai.

I wear a SS Sub Date and also have an older SS TOG. I'd suggest SS for you... No gold/bling or you will be abused on the floor lol.

what statement do you want to make? some of these watches can be misconstrued/misinterpreted. obv pricepoint might dictate something too.

I would try a Daytona. After all time is money and the daytona has a useful complication....

Don't worry what the other guy wears, get the watch you think you would like to wear.
