Ok, I'll take a stab at it. Less than $10k and SS is tough but I'd go with these;
1. 16750 matte dial 2. 1680 matte dial early 80s 3. 14270 tritium |

1) 16610 Submariner with engraved rehaut. A true transition from legend to new classic.
2) 116600 Sea-Dweller. A true WIS dive watch. 3) 16760 Fat Lady. Love the coke bezel and chunky crown guards. |

Hmm so can't squeeze a DaytonaC in there?
I would say: 16610LV 16570 Black dial And a Milgauss GV Last one was tricky, in a vacuum i might put a seadweller in there (16600, SD4k, or SD50). I chose the Milgauss because I own one and if this is a hypothetical collection of 3 watches I would want something a little dressier than another diver. If it was just my favorite 3 regardless of the others, maybe I'd choose a SD. |

Tough one, but if I was going for three different models that I currently have, it would probably be:
1. 16700 GMT 2. 16600 SD 3. 1680 Sub |

I was excited to make my list, but then I saw your $10k caveat and it restricted all my SS Daytona favorites so....

10K is not exactly fair when steel Daytona's all go past 10K.

Very solid choices from you guys...
I will have to cheat a little on this, though I love every single SS Rolex I own, my 16200 will forever be my favorite for sentimental reasons... The other pieces in my collection are cool nonetheless...
