The question is as old as the Day Date, GMT and the Submariner since they (GMT and Sub) became available in precious metals.

If you could pick 3.
Which ones are your favourites and in which order would you get them?
I'm not including Platinum on the list since it's about 50% more expensive than the solid gold models (and of course that would be everyone's choice if money was no object

)

Day Date 36mm/40mm
1. Yellow Gold
2. White Gold
3. Everose Gold

Submariner
1. Yellow Gold (blue or black)
2. White Gold

GMTII
1. Yellow Gold Jubilee bracelet
2. White gold
3. Everose Gold

I would go with the Everose DD40 with a Sundust dial, White gold Submariner and a Yellow Gold DD36 or 40.

Bigdaddy38 · 14 August 2023, 02:50 AM

RG DD with Olive or slate dial
WG Sub
Meteorite Pepsi in WG

t65tampa · 14 August 2023, 01:59 PM

I did Submariner, then Daytona, then GMT Master II. I honestly don’t have a favorite, but I do prefer the look of yellow gold over white gold.

For me, it's all about the white metals these days, so it would be the WG variants of each category with one meteorite dial.

For example,

WG sub, WG meteorite BLRO, and WG DD, or
WG sub, WG BLRO blue dial, an WG DD meteorite.

puma1552 · 15 August 2023, 12:13 AM

1) WG DD
2) RG DD
3) YG DD

I love simple, clean watches that more or less just tell time. I have zero use for the complications on the Sub/GMT, so a treasure chest of DDs for me. But I'd probably combine the WG/YG, get the Platinum, and save like $20k in the process and just have a PT and a RG.

Harry-57 · 15 August 2023, 12:16 AM

Age old question?

I must have blinked. A lot.

If I could have three I would buy a WG BLRO and keep the remainder of the money.

worldofoyster · 15 August 2023, 12:21 AM

yellow gold everything

brandrea · 15 August 2023, 12:53 AM

I prefer SS professional references, so I’d just stretch the budget and buy a PT DD

njlam · 15 August 2023, 04:59 AM

DayDate 40 Platinum - The PlayDate
WG Submariner - Cookie Monster

Cassidyanne · 15 August 2023, 05:10 AM

It’s not an age old question, in fact, it’s quite simple to answer. The watch that is always PM., the iconic Day-Date! I mean, a dive watch in PM, that’s just silly when you think about it.

bullies · 15 August 2023, 06:00 AM

These three are the gold pieces I went with

It is quite the contrary, there is no metal more suitable for the harsh marine environment than the inert PM.
SS doesn’t even come close
