Some great choices here already, my 2cents:

If we dreaming - any lemans, I prefer wg

If the stars align - meteorite OF 519

Grail but should be easier than above, platona. 116506 diamond dial my pick

Then best of the everyday - 126500

As an fyi, I owned a few 116500s and thought the changes for 126 weren’t a big deal. After acquiring a few of those, I much prefer them

While i love the modern version, especially the WG and SS my favorite are the vintage versions. I personally have a 6262 which i feel are underrated, ideally would love to own a black dial 6265 big red.

If you like to flex - white dial ss
If you prefer stealth - white gold

I’d go for the John Mayer 1.0 or 2.0 for a modern watch.

Never been a Daytona guy, but when I saw this I just had to have it.

The Daytona is my favorite reference. I have owned many. I have owned and then sold all the modern variants, mind. I realized that for me these two Zenith era Daytona’s are what speak to me and they will never leave my collection. The TT I bought new in the 90s and the SS a few years back after hunting for a 1999 SEL.

Keep the Panda, but I'm slightly biased.

I think I have to agree, this is the next one on my list - new clasp, old font on bezel, interesting dial (with some contrast)

For understated, the black or white dial zenith.

For flash, the WG blue dial 116509. Plays with the light so well!
