Sub Date. Would have been good if you set this up as a poll.

True, but GMT-IIC is the clear winner.

I have to admit it looks that way.....it's a pretty close run thing with the Sub mind you.....nice to see some others metioned too.....the GMT with three bezel option is a good choice as well.....it is only one watch after all but a choice of three looks.....brilliant really....apologies for not setting this up as a pole, I am not really sure how to do it anyway and I did think maybe it would be a bit complicated with so many possible selections....someone else could have a go at setting it up if they fancy...certainly an interesting thread to read back through.....thanks to all those who responded....

My SS Airking. White dial and baton markers. Will do for everyday, and if in a pinch with a suit.

Submariner for me. That's what I had planned to wear a year in QingDao.

It would most certainly be the GMTc but with the "Coke" dial yet to be perfected.

My TT Daytona.

It is sporty enough for everyday and yet it is dressy enough for special occassions.

Probably an Air-King. Would work well with a dress or jeans.

If it doesn't have to be a Rolex, then my Breitling Chrono Cockpit

I could NEVER just own one Rolex, but if I HAD to, it would be my 16610 (Sub Date).

Man I love my black bezel 16710 so much but if forced to choose one I'd have to go with my dad's 1977 1603 on jubilee that he passed on to me. It has so much sentimental value and I think it looks great dressy or with jeans and a tee.

Ha ha....nice one Russ.....I know the feeling....had my GMT II C just over a month, worn it every day at work, I am travelling home on Wednesday and I know that my others are not going to get much wrist time during my 3 week break....then guess which one I will be bringing back to work with me....not a difficult guess.....some you just can't bear to take off your wrist
