⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ Agree with George but if were to pick only 1, it'd be the Sub...due to most versatility and ceramic bezel

Sub date for the best daily piece. Though I love the ExII equally.

Between the 3 you proposed it would be the SubC Date for me. But in my collection that title goes to my speedy pro.

I just rotate my little 3 watch collection. Unless there is some special occasion I don't have a primary watch at all. With yours I prefer the Explorer II. But with a collection the quality of yours I couldn't hold back on any of them.

This was a tough one for me. Given your parameters, I'd easily go with the SubC date due to the ceramic bezel and perfect size.

However, if you'd permit some slight modifications/additions, I'd offer a daily wear list as follows:

1. SubC Date (black)
2. DaytonaC (white)
3. Explorer I (39mm long hands)

For me these are more even in terms of daily wear suitability, the first two because of the ceramic bezel and overall style, and the explorer for the extreme versatility.

The explorer 2 would be more competitive for me had I larger wrists.

I 've only had my 16570 for 2 weeks now, it has been a fantastic daily watch. It has greatly surpassed my high expectations.

My 14060 on a NATO has been my work daily for years.

But I did switch to the bracelet just last week and I'll see how that goes for a change.

Given those three for a choice my 16610 would be the one.

As there is no C attached....
