No, that's pretty much the best watch there is or my name isn't Mr Daytona!

Can't really loose either way!

Great choices. Those are basically tied as my #2 picks. For some reason, the SS Plat Yacht-Master has a special place in my heart as my favorite. After that though, the Sea-Dweller and Pepsi have been the 2 I've been wanting to get next.

I'd say the GMT2c is the best fitting watch out of the S.S. watches.
With saying that....the 42mm EXP2 is also a very good fitting watch.

I like three and it's hard to choose which is best: Sub ND, EXPII with lug holes, and GMT/GMTII in Pepsi. All are great watches.

My favorites are what I have:

1. the Explorer 214270 ( for its supreme sleekness, versatility, and symmetry and being the ultimate dress/sport and elegant/casual watch--the best gentleman's watch : -)) and

2. the 114060 ( for its symmetry, history, and sporty good looks that work pretty well for a dressy occasion in a pinch)

I will say the old Rolex Sea Dweller is IMO the best looking Rolex ( the most underrated and least talked about great aspect of the watch is that the glare from the lack of A/R is the LEAST noticeable of all the Rolex divers--you can see the face on the SD!!!) It just didn't fit right on my wrist.

I'll give that a huge second. I love my sexy 16610. Never will I part with mine. I'd love to add the 16600 at some point. Lug holes all the way as well.

I'd be surprised if I'm unique here but, I don't have a favourite and like most of them for different reasons. Sometimes I like some particular more than others but that changes over time.
