Having a budget of £3k which watch would you choose? I can't seem to decide between.

Chris.

Myself, I would get a SeaDweller.

Hi Chris,
It is a matter of taste as usual.
You will get different answers therefore......
These are different types of watches as well.....
Me myself I wouldn´t go for a GMT II instead of a GMT I if....
From the classical perspective I guess the Sub would be the right choice.
But I would also go for the SD personally

vapalux · 8 April 2009, 11:59 PM

Complete personal taste.

Whatever smiles at you is the one!

I know what i would have but I don't want to influence you

Best of luck and enjoy whichever you choose

You can't go wrong with any of the three you mentioned! Keep trying them on and you'll know! Good luck!

Gaijin · 9 April 2009, 12:10 AM

I'd go GMT II just for the extra time zone.

The Sub is a classic though...

alphamale2012 · 9 April 2009, 12:10 AM

I suggest you try them in person. You will love 1 for sure. gd luck

padi56 · 9 April 2009, 12:19 AM

All a good choice of watches but the GMT11 is quite a versatile watch just change the bezel insert then you have a new looking watch.

SD for me but then I prefer to not have the cyclops.

hflee55 · 9 April 2009, 01:20 AM

It's a matter of personal preference. I'll go for the SD in this case.

sea-dweller · 9 April 2009, 01:38 AM

All are great ! Try each one on and see which one 'fits' you best ! I do predict that you will end up owning ALL of them one day !

landroverking · 9 April 2009, 03:32 AM

I am not sure you can find a GMT for 3K. They are getting hotter on the used market all the time. I would pick the GMT II because of the extra time zone, if that is not important to you the the Sea-Dweller as everyone has a Sub.

Dan Pierce · 9 April 2009, 03:44 AM

Each are great references. The GMT is my choice. Try on all 3 and then decide.

Good luck,

Although I own SD and would choose it over the GMIIc, I would IMHO say that the GMTIIc is the more versatile watch, looks great as an everyday sports watch dressed in jeans and a T shirt, but also due to the fact of the polished centre links and ceramic bezel does not look out of place when dressed up to the nines.

Perfect advice. You will not go wrong with any of them, they are all classics.

Great choices...As Dan recommends try them on! The SD will obviously be a different fit. You can not go wrong on this one!

presario · 9 April 2009, 07:33 AM

I'd say either SD or the Sub Date. Depends on which one feels more comfortable on your wrist. The triplock crown just does it for me
