If you have those three, great lineup!
Then your daily should be what feels right for that day and/or activity.

I would prefer the Explorer. Not sure why but it always looks good with dress shirts that are lighter coloured and has the date with second time zone.

The Explorer II is probably my next watch, it has everything I want including GMT, if I could get a BLNR I probably would but now a 40mm pre owned is the watch.

I want to vote for the Daytona because I love the size and I think toes the line the best between sports and dress. But I think the lack of a date would make it hard for me to wear one daily.

I voted for an explorer II, mostly because I own one, but I like the size better and well for me I would prefer my daily be a bit less of a conspicuous Rolex than a sub. But that's just my personal preference

Difficult SubDate & EXII are both excellent daily beaters.

Wow, Sub takes 70%! Thought it would be a far more even spread than that.

I'd pick the Explorer II 16570 out of those three choices for my daily driver. I used to have a black-dialed 16570, and if I would have purchased the white to start with, then I would have kept it. Probably the most comfortable watch I've owned.

The winner will always be the sub. It is the most popular selling watch in the world, every Tom, Dick and Harry who knows nothing about watches gets one.

Those reasons right there are why I don't wear a sub anymore. I love my Explorer II and find it to be the perfect daily watch.

I owned one ceramic Sub after owning close to a dozen older 5 digit subs over the years. The shine that watch gives off like in your picture forced me to sell it.

Me as well, especially thought we'd see more Daytona. Perhaps ceramic is the preferred daily.
