From your list, I would pick the GMT II C and the Datejust II

But really, you could just use the GMT II C for everything and pocket the change!

GMT-II C for daily wear and a SS white dial Daytona for dressier occasions.

I think that I've finally found the perfect Rolex combo for me. I have a YG 18038 for dress, a SS Daytona for everyday use and a 5513 sub on a tropic strap for a casual vintage change. From your choices I would probably say Daytona and Datejust.

The DD is not for that budget, so its very easy for me to choose:
Sub C ND and Datejust 36mm with black mother of pearl.
All Rolex can be worn for most if not all occasions but its nice to have a classic one like the DJ and the most iconic sport model Sub, all the best

DateJust for formal and GMT for everything else. Bigger is not always better when it comes to a dress watch.

not sure..
not many options at 20k for me
at the budget priced Probably have to lean towards a Z serial WG
since z serials average around 20k's in WG

ExP42 Polar and DJII ( smooth bezel / Black face with stick index ) - IMHO the fluted DJII is too bling and too broad )
