Without knowing that, my first pick (if sticking with Rolex) would be a DJ of your favourite configuration followed by a sub of your favourite configuration. I lean toward the DJ only because the Ex2 is a larger case and would pair excellent with a DJ for more formal occasions…and the DJ can easily be dressed down even if it’s the fluted/jube combo.

It’s funny that you mentioned that you like the floating hands of the 216570…I feel the same for some reason…it’s just kind of neat, but most others in general prefer the updates of the 226570 and point out the “flaw” in that the black on the floating hands doesn’t match the black of the dial.

The legibility is definitely better on the newer E2, but the floating hands were super cool and reminded me of the rubber coating we put on our dog tags in the Army to keep them from making so much noise.

Date-Just is the leading candidate at the moment, for all of the reasons you mentioned. I’m on the list for one at BC Clark in Oklahoma City. Also down for a two tone Sub, but the DJ seems more realistic.

Here’s the collection before I blew it up and started over:
