I would go GMT but I'm not convinced you technically need it considering you have your DSSD. That kinda fills the Rolex sports watch look.

I am not a Tudor fan, so I certainly go for the rolex GMT II

Not a huge fan of the Tudor, but love the GMT II. Both are excellent watches though obviously so whatever floats your boat! Good luck

Currently my only Rolex. My favorite SS model in the entire lineup. I, however do own both but prefer the GMT by a mile.

I have the Black Bay and an older GMTII. I'd choose the new GMTII over the Black Bay if money isn't an issue. There is quite a big price difference between the two as I'm sure you are aware. I also own the an Explorer II 16570. I really like that watch but I think the newer 216570 is such a big improvement that I will likely trade at some point. I no longer care that it might look too big on my wrist. I'd say the Explorer II is more suitable for a younger more active person. But that's just my opinion. You need to put all three watches on your wrist and see what you like.
