Mine would have been Air-King, but that option was not available.

For me its the Turn o graph. I think a bezel on a DJ just looks too out of place.

Didn't see a choice for the Date, either. It's the perfect watch for me, though many guys would consider it too small at 34mm - the same size as the Air-King.

I am really suprised about the TOG. It is high on my list of wants. I think it is one great looking watch. The 2 tone, yellow gold and S/S, black dial, jubilee braclet, red date wheel and minute hand, stunning.

Milgauss, just not much happening and the second hand tries to compensate for that but it doesn't work.

Milgauss.

Ironically enough if it had a date on it, then it would be my FAVORITE Oyster. :)

It's funny how one's taste changes over time. I used to love the plat YM and now I just think it's plain ugly. Similarly, about 20 years ago I fell in love with a TT Tag dive watch and bought it. Now, I can't stand TT. I don't think, however, I'll ever stop loving the GMT Master II, IIC, Sub and SD.
