114060 vs 116710 vs 116400

What would you choose?

The no-date SubC
The GMTc
The black dial Milgauss

Taking into account, that the Milgauss would be by far the cheapest option, seeing as I'm only looking at used watches..

Please help me out!

GMT Master II for me!
In second place I would place the SubC (but with date)

The GMT-C is the best overall, IMHO, and then I'd save up for the Mil. if you wanted to add a second. Everyone seems to like the GMT-C so I guess that says something!

GMT....Great value + the added complication of the second time zone!
With the Sub a close second.

I'll choose the the 116710. It would make an excellent all-around watch.

GMTIIc is the best of those by far. The Sub and Milgaus have no date. I'm not sure there is a better all around Rolex than the GMT. It's almost perfect. I don't even have to think about it. GMTIIc hands down.

I think the GMT fans have spoken. Now, let us know what YOU have decided.

All 3 are great, BUT the most versatile is the GMT.

I love all three watches....

But the GMT will be my choice.. It is the best option, and it definitely smiles at me when I try it on. I guess I just needed a little push!

Thanks for all input!!

SubC no date. Easily. Great pedigree. More comfortable with the adjustable clasp. No cyclops.

The GMT is a very nice piece, but I just don't like the polished center links on a sport watch (too dressy) and I just don't like the green GMT hand + text as much as the older red one.

Milgauss? Too funky second-hand.
