I would go for the Sea dweller. Great all rounder and a classic.

That's a great choice too. Here's a shot of my 1992 big block.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I'm really liking the 14060(m), 16600 and Tudor Chronographs

I would say either GMT or 16600 Sea Dweller...but I may be biased since I have the latter on the forum for sale now

But really you can't go wrong with the Rolex sport models...best of luck with your search

At $5k get the 14060m ND COSC dial....there's fewer out there and its a classic style!! Get one here and you'll even have a few hundred left.

Bought my wife this one for $5k out the door (Oregon - love no sales tax) - M series in perfect condition.
