Between the Sub C, the Hulk, TT Sub C blue, the GMT II C, and the TT GMT II C, my favorite is the one I am wearing right now.

Well if I had to choose from the list it would be the GMT11c but doubt if I would buy one.

Tough call, but for me it's the IIc. The GMTs have always been my preferred reference and the newest version brings so much to the table.

I can't help but add the 16610LV is also a favorite for me. Such a unique reference.

After owning or having owned various Subs, GMTs, Explorer IIs, and a Milgauss, I'd have to say the 39MM Explorer. IMO, it's the sleekest, classiest, purest, and most versatile modern Rolex. Also love the fact that it's less common than most....
