If the SDC isn't an option, I'd go with a 114060 or 116610.
Congrats to you and the future Mrs.

not being an ass, but what is the great appeal with the SDC? I cannot see in person, so am not too certain of the case size compared to the 116610ln.

It is ok to be this indecisive (We have all been there). I would hold off and wait until there is a piece you must have. If you are looking for something classic, sporty, and dressy...The SS WHITE DIAL DAYTONA would be the way to go. Congrats!

I wouldn't write off the aqua terra - mine is getting more wrist time than my hulk at the moment. It's a very classy piece with superb build quality and maybe better suited to your ceremonial day than a diver.

BTW - that PO LMLE is stunning!

Funny, I'm not a big ring guy either...

With the 10K as the number lots of options - classic sub is a great option - if you like green go subclv.

On the bubble of 10k I've really liked the new sdc - very timeless and classic!

Let us know what you do

Subc is always a great choice but as you have one I also like the Skyfall very much. Congrats on your wedding, cheers!

Congratulations and best wishes.
I would consider the GMTIIc as a top choice. You have a Sub. and travel for work.

A less boxy case and no cyclops over the date, which screams Rolex across the room. What is not to like?

I'd forgo a watch altogether. It made me nervous on my big day. You'll relax much more without it.

IMO, on the wedding day, I believe the Aqua Terra will be the best fit. And I personally would vote for it as a keeper as well. If there was a DJ or DD listed there, my vote would have been different!

But did you seriously hope to get votes for anything non-Rolex here

I second that on the Aqua Terra. When picking up my PO from service at the boutique, I was lured into trying the AT on. And once it was on, I realized that no amount of photography or even Daniel Craig could do justice to the piece. It is a stunner! Go try it on. I believe these 41.5 Skyfall pieces are available only at the boutiques.

Id go for the Skyfall, but since you don't want dressy then the Sub!

Thank you guys.....

I honestly think it'd be perfect for a wedding day watch and a life time watch. It's suttle and flashy...and you can look at it and smile when it's on your wrist.

I would say Zenith if it was on a strap. Therefore, I'd recommend the AT.

Pastel colors. Light blues, greens and pink.
We are keeping the whole day pretty relaxed as we are that way inclined.

Hey mate,
Understand your point of view however this watch will take place of the traditional ring, as I don't do them. This will symbolize our commitment and special day.
