Tough call between the sub and the exp 39 since I like both watches equally; both tool watches as they can be also worn with a suit especially the sub. I cannot say the same for the rest. Sorry, but not fan of any of the 3 remaining.

1 - Sub
2 - Air King The rest aren't on my radar. Air King has the same case with anti-magnetic properties as the Milgauss, and is better looking and cheaper too. |

If I didn't already have a GMT II, my first pick would be the white Explorer II. Otherwise, I'd go with the black SubC. The others leave me totally cold.
I still travel Internationally and the dual time zone is useful. |

Exp1 Exp11 AK new model Milguass I prefer to wear the Sub but for me the Exp1 is the more versatile from its better fit to its suitability for formal with suit & tie to in the hills situations etc. |

Wow not for me.
My list SS Daytona GMT Sub Exp II Exp I know you wanted your list ranked, but any list that doesn't include a GMT or Daytona just isn't right. |

Steel only? Have to vote for the only model with a gold option - Sub.

1. Sub
2. Exp I 3. Exp II 4. Milguass 5. Air King If they'd make a few small tweaks the Air King could easily slide up to #3. I like the little hits of color on it and I can get over the mix match of hour/minute numbers. What I can't get over is the utter lack of lume but for the 12 o'clock marker. If those 3/6/9 markers had been the lumed ones from the new ExpI then the Air King would rank much higher for me. |
