Opinions Needed

I've made a decision to get a new watch, but I can't decide which one. I've narrowed it down to the following: Rolex Sub C (40 mm), Omega PO XL (45.5 mm) with the ceramic bezel, and the GS Spring Drive GMT (43.5 mm) with the sapphire crystal bezel. I've seen all three and they each have their pros and cons. I went into the Omega boutique in NYC today and sow the new Omega PO and it is very impressive. The Omega and the GS have sapphire crystal casebacks. Price wise the Rolex is by far the most expensive. Resale value is not a consideration. I would buy both the Omega and the Rolex from a trusted TRF seller and the Grand Seiko I can get at a discount in the USA. As to accuracy the GS Spring Drive is the most accurate and the Omega and Rolex are COSC certified. Water resistance is not an issue. I do like larger watches. Don't bring up the DSSD. I owned one and sold it to a relative - I was not happy with the size of the dial in comparison to the overall size. The fact that it was water resistant to 13,000 feet was total overkill and meaningless in the real world. I also owned a Rolex GMT II C and could not deal with the PCL's and the scratches that appeared out of nowhere.

I know that this is a Rolex forum, but I would appreciate any objective comments. Thank you in advance.
