Usually best, for a first watch, to have an all black dial as it will go with anything. A Sub-C or GMTII-C is a perfect all rounder, comfortable in any situation. However, if this will be a 'special' watch, that only comes out on more special occasions, or just on weekends, then perhaps a Daytona? I'm in love with my Daytona, it's slimmer profile, lighter weight, and less sharp edges make it much more comfortable that my Sub or GMT.
Thanks for the feedback, I would be wearing it every day..

Yeah have to agree here. Such an icon with so many options available. If a sub isn't your think you cannot go wrong with the GMT or explorer.

If you don't like the thickness of the DSSD? Then the Exp II

Sub date or Sub no date>>>

GMT is cool, but if you don't need the extra timezone, can't beat the Sub.

Find the one you like the most and then get that one.
AMEN to that! I rushed on my first one and got the Milgauss GV. Beautiful watch, but I like something rugged, thus I went for the DSSD. The second time around was the charm.....TAKE YOUR TIME.

Of those, I would go for a GMT. The sub is such a Rolex classic that I would consider that as well.

Go for the one you covet the most. For me it was the submariner so that's what I bought.
