If you're interested in going for a SS, I like the 116710 and 116610. The GMT has a great second timezone function and the sub has a great bracelet and clasp. Good luck in your decision.

You've got the two tone black dial covered.

That being said I would go for either a Polar Exp42 or White Daytona

I voted Deepsea but that's totally in the blind based on what you listed. However, a Sub date or new expy 2 would be nice.

My vote goes to the SubC (or the SD 16600).

Happy Hunting!

I voted Submariner, but I would go SD 16600.

In fact, I just added a 16600 today to go with my EXP Polar 42.

Sub in any configuration will go nice with a DJII.

SS/Platinum Yacht Master - most overlooked of the sports models, and I'd like to keep it that way but come aboard, cap'n.

any of the above listed sport watches would complement a dj just perfectly. i chose the sub since it is maybe the most iconic rolex sport model but chose whichever you like you can't really go wrong.

I'd go for a sports watch and voted for the sub date as it's my personal favourite.
