DD YG gets my vote. You should try it on. DD in 40mm is just a killer.

I'm gonna try and be different even though we're on a rolex forum and say if you're going for a grail try a Louis Moinet Tempograph.

DD in RG - must have batons, not romans or diamonds
DD in YG - must have batons, not romans or diamonds
YG Sub Black Face
YG Sub Blue Face

(I love the stainless blue dial sky dweller, but getting it for 12k when it's retail price is 14k, not getting it for 22k)

Thoughts? Am I missing something?
What about a YG Daytona with green face? That watch is amazing and could be a very short run given its a non-ceramic release from 2016. Also the YG Daytona on oysterflex is a winner. (I clearly have a preference towards Daytonas).

Would you go semi-vintage? A Zenith Daytona is destined to be a future classic and currently trading below $25k.

Of the watches you've chosen, I'd do the YG GMT with green face or a DD in YG with black textured dial, lastly a YG sub w/ blue face. All great choices. GL and let us know which direction you go!

One more option is an EG Yacht-Master on the Oysterflex strap.

you beat me to it! I was about to ask the same question on a thread. I'm amazed how many people love the YG blue sub, at first it wasn't an option for me. I owned the black face for 24 hrs and loved it. . had to return it back due to retail damage. . but after seeing it more and more. .ive fallen for that one. . . my pick would be the YG blue sub as I'm making this same decision this weekend. Good luck!

1) YG DD (rounds out your lineup a little more). Otherwise,...

2) YG GMT/Black dial

Between those 2, can't go wrong.

That's beautiful...I went with the silver motif dial, but you really couldn't go wrong with either.
