126710BLRO on Jubilee would be my daily if I had such a watch. It gets worn the most.

If I could only have one, Day-Date 36. My favorite to wear, in no small part due to comfort.

The BB GMT ticks lots of boxes for me.

Blnr jubilee perfect daily imo. In my collection which includes APRO, 2x BP FF, 2x omega Aqua Terra, it would be the ONE I would pick. Sold my sub after I got the blnr. Knew it was over, would never get on a wrist.

Always a GMT. It’s the single most practical model in the whole collection.

Of all my watches past and present my BLNR is the most functional and gets the lion's share of the wrist.

Submariner. Super comfortable, glidelock for different weather conditions and brushed bracelet that hide scratches better makes it the perfect daily watch.

Explorer 36mm or new OP 36mm.

Have a GMT BLRO, jubilee isn't practical for daily wear. Too shiny overly. Only need to know date once per day, then simple memory. GMT complication is just basic mental math.

Blue pelagos on a blue 1 piece velcro strap.

The strap behind the case makes it stand a little high but its comfy and a bomb proof watch

Another vote for Sub or Pelagos. Exp II also very good, but I really enjoy the minute timing on a rotating bezel.

Current daily is the Exp II. It’s so good, it’s stopped me buying anything else for a while.

I always thought I’d get a sub and/ or GMT but it feels like the Explorer II renders them a bit redundant. Yeah it’s not as waterproof and it doesn’t show as many time zones but it does exactly what I need day to day. Two time zones, enough water resistance to swim and robust enough for hiking/ wearing all day every day.

The only time it’s not perfect is with a suit and even then it’s thin enough to be just fine tucked under the sleeve.

In the last year I have sold my Daytona 116520 and my Sea dweller 126603 Two tone.
I gave the sub 116610 to my wife and I was left with an SD 16600. So ..... Sea Dweller 16600T

Explorer 214270 works very well for me, or any other Explorer in 36 mm.
I don’t have any Tudors, so I can’t judge.

I couldn’t decide, so I just kept adding. Probably a sub date though.

116610LN. Rotor extremely quiet. Feels indestructible, oyster all brushed bracelet, no need to baby it. Under the radar piece.

(In contrast to my BLNR 2 series. 2 tone bezel can be quite loud under adequate lighting. Jubilee bracelet is loud. Sometimes feel the rotor if the watch is shaken hard enough.)

It depends on your lifestyle. I think all of mine are great daily watches for me: Sub, DJ41, and GMT.
