What's the best looking WG setup?

WG is always interesting and I'm looking for style recommendations. Thanks.

If I was buying a wg Rolex, I 'd look at 1.) the blue sub, 2.) the Daytona panda or meteorite, 3.) blro, 4.) day date.

Any of the WG Daytona models. Mine is pictured, but I likely would have got the gray luminous or panda dial if available at the time.

My Two current favourites are:

WG Sub
WG DDII Blue Wave Dial

I cannot express how happy I would be if I had both of those

and they say money can't buy happiness. I agree with that statement if you are already an unhappy person.

Also the WG case is slightly fatter around the pushers. The SS case has less metal around the pushes. The bezel overlaps the case where a WG model the case is larger than the bezel.

You know I never knew about the case size difference around the pushers when comparing WG to SS. That's great, you learn something new every day

Smurf without a doubt. It's a grail piece for me. The next would be a DDII with black roman dial.
