The most beautiful SS Rolex

Which one is the most beautiful SS model, in your opinion? Mine, in the order of preference, are:

Milgauss GV (in my opinion, a genius design solution, combining classic and contemporary)
SS Daytona, white (although my wife is wearing it for me)
SS Daytona, black
Sea-Dweller 16600 (a great-looking watch which is also very solid and substantial; can't wear a Sub after it)
GMT IIc (also a great-looking watch, though it gets least of my wrist-time - I appreciate it but not as much as the other ones).

I would put in this order:

GMT IIc
SS Daytona, black
Sea-Dweller 16600
...
Milgauss GV

Why people like Milgauss GV? Is it because green crystal? Sorry, I just don't feel it at all...

My ordering:
SS Daytona, white
SS Daytona, black
(new) Datejust, SS/WG bezel, black face (does bezel disqualify this one? )
GMT IIc or Platty YM (again, if bezel doesn't disqualify)

The ss daytona blackdial because of the robust mature dial it really stands out in a public setting..The polished bezel with the black numbering really adds a touch of flair and crispness to the watch itself..

Unlike some sheepshagging BKLs we know (no names mentioned), some of us keep our prized watches.
