The 243 / 305 decision has been hard! LOL
It looks like I can get around $800 more for the 305 on trade in.

White dial is what you need, go polar.

Of the choices above, I'm voting for the EXP II.

IMHO GMT is always the answer.

I would keep the 305 because it's 47mm and sell the 243 44mm

What about the new SS SkyD, that will add some nice contrast to your collection.

It's how I'm leaning :-) But I know the safe ones for me have been black dials, and part of me is of cours mulling over the SD4000.

Sky dweller is very nice, but i'm not sure I'm ready for a fluted bezel piece.

Any choice other than the EXPII would be largely redundant....

(BTW, it is Submariner, and Submariner Date - not, Submariner, and "No Date"...)

Really tough, but I've admired the 243 slightly more, so, I'd flip the 305 for the new SD.

Go for the latest and greatest SD50. So what if you have other divers. Expand the pride.

In a strange turn of events I picked up the SD4000! It just really sang to me this time, and I have have to admit I've missed my old 5 digit one for years. I should have never let that one go.

The white dialed Explorer II was amazing though, and I think I might go back for that one. I just knew I'd regret not getting one of the last SD4000's.

On the list for the new SD Anniversary as well.

X2. Explorer II would give you the GMT function you're "missing" from your collection. Congrats on the SD4K

Thx Al! I forgot I actually "do" have a GMT watch (GMT-IIC). It's just my wife has taken that one over.
