I vote for the GMT II-C and Sub LV over the Daytona as well.

I note that you can only wear one at a time.

Tough call. Probably the Daytona for me. I don't know how any watch can be considered overrated if you love it.

The Kermit & GMTIIc are both supreme watches as well. It's just that after a week of wearing the Daytona, I was absolutely smitten. Either way, I'd rather have fewer of what I love than more of what I like.

not to bash daytona owners but as said before it is overated. The only daytona I would wear would be the paul newman vintage. The gmt and sub is the way to go!

Too late. Wore one for six months and it bored me to death. That is NOT to say I didn't admire the movement (mine was a great time keeper) and heritage, it was just "blah" to me. When I need or want a chrono I grab a VC OS, Concord (El Primero), or my Oakley.

I am much happier to have a YG Bluesy I flipped the Daytona for about a month ago.
