Hi, just because you asked best daily out of the threee instead of best daily for you.
In my opinion none of them.
I think the problem is not the watch but the watch over that colorful tatoo. Not many models can marry that well. IMHO an all black Tudor Chrono will be perfect. Regards.

Out of these 3 , I vote for the Z Blue Milgauss.

You wear it like a second skin.

My 16710 Pepsi gets 95% of my wrist time.

Wear them all. Just pick one that you feel like it. What’s wrist size? You wear them all well. Congrats! Good Rolex collection.

BLRO all the way. Change the milgauss and explorer to a sub and you've got a perfect duo for any situation.

I own a 39mm Explorer 1 along with a BLRO and a stainless ceramic Daytona. I tend to wear the Explorer the most. I appreciate that it is understated and therefore draws little attention. However, it is hard to go wrong with the BLRO especially if you use the date or GMT function regularly.

Easy choice Milgauss, as others stated the colors go well with the ink and also the oyster bracelet meshes better with it too. Something about the jubilee just makes it too busy and takes attention away from the ink, you want it to all blend together and not one dominate the other.

Maybe can i suggest trading the explorer and getting an airking or JC deepsea?

Or trade the pepsi for a cermit or hulk?

Blro - best daily because of date.
Explorer - evening watch around the house.
ZBlue - weekend watch in rotation with the Explorer.

BLRO for its date and fit on your wrist. I love the Milgauss but always thought it works better as a complementary piece in a collection (at least that's what I'd tell myself if I could get one at retail!).

BLRO and put it on an oyster bracelet. I can definitely see that as someone’s DD or one and done.
