For me. It's the SubC. Perfect all-around watch for me. Your preference may vary.

Happy New Year!

I already have:

Classic, simple, stylish, understated, tough & versatile. The watch I always wanted, and it has lived up to my expectations....

Same thing here, I think I'd go with the green dial though.

14060M. It's a classic, iconic model that fits in any situation, from the range to the beach to a black tie dinner party.
Now, I just need to get another one.

The GMTIIC as it has probably greatest wrist presence of any watch I have owned so far.

It just looks and feels so much better than anything else out there.
