114060 (got it)
BLNR (going to get it, hopefully)
Daytona Black dial - but I'm not convinced; it's nice but I don't know if I really like it.

Explorer and Explorer 2 are nice, so is the Yachtmaster 1 ...but they just don't seem different enough to be among the "3 watch collection". Daytona just seems like the logical choice if you want to differentiate between the three watches.

Doesn't the YM Blue Dial contain white gold? Otherwise the YM would have been in my top 3 as well.

My perfect 3 watch SS combo was:

Milli GV
GMT2C LN
Daytona Black

swapped the black daytona for an everose and this is the best combo I can think of.

114060: beater/diver
1680: vintage cool
BLNR: travel/dress casual

I'm also considering a 36mm explorer I as an alternative beater.
