My choice would be a white dial Daytona and a Submariner 114060, and save the difference. If you could negotiate a deal, then I'd swap the Sub choice for the new C-Dweller.

This for me also. The Daytona and the BLNR are both great choices too and you really cannot go wrong.

I would not buy from an AD and buy whatever 2 watches you decide on from alternative sources and save thousands...but if you are adamant in going that route then perhaps a GMT/SD?

I wish I have your dilemma.

Then I will get the blue Milgauss and a Polar Explorer 2. Post pics then never log in again so as to not see the subs and sea dwellers and GMTs and daytonas and DJs that will make me regret my decision ;)
