GMT+Sub+Daytona, I also think it should be in that particular order

I like a dress watch option, so I vote #2.

My $30k (actually ever so slightly over) got me 3 Rolex and 2 Tudor. Perhaps consider a late model Daydate. I friggin love mine.

Nice job doing your math!

Personally, I’d spend $10K on one and invest the balance for a year while you learn what you like.

The $20K at least can make you 3% risk free.

No collection is complete without a GMT. So #2 if I have to choose only those options.

Hulk, Pepsi and Daytona - probably currently the most popular 3 in the rolex lineup.

2 would be my choice, as I'm not a great fan of the Daytona.
