Well it certainly would not be any of the modern day Rolex although I might be tempted by the new Anniversary GMT in SS.

The TT version comes ONLY with a BLACK dial.

If you want the GREEN one, you'll have to go for the all gold version.

Wow! The SS Daytona with white dial face is a real beauty. BUT, the all gold, green dial face GMT Anniversary Edition is quite a stunner to behold!

If money was no object, it would be the Platinum DD.

Would be a keeper for life!

This one would do it. The Platinum DD with glacier white diamond dial would be a close second.
