The DJII is a great piece but if I was to have only 1 for everyday wear I would go with the GMT IIc

I voted GMT because a Sub wasn't in the poll.

I'd rather wear the GMT as a daily.

That way I'd have a rotatable bezel to play with when I'm bored.

Sorry it is the Submariner period. Love the GMT when traveling but for everyday the sub wins hands down due to the bezel that can give you a crude elapsed time.

Sorry it is the GMT period. If you can read a watch dial, you can use the bezel on the GMT to mark the time in order to do the same re minutes elapsed, so not so hands down after all it seems.

I choose the GMT. It is an all-around watch for the office, work sites, meetings, etc.

Sub or GMT first, and DJ is a great second choice, will then cover you for almost any occasion.

If I had to pick between the two as my only everyday watch, the GMT wins. If I had something like a Sub in my collectiont the DJ2 would win

I've owned both (BLNR and a DJ2), and I'd say the DJ2. No question.
