Also voted the Explorer II it's just a great watch witch looks good with anything casual or dress. Also looks great on a NATO.

Considering I just picked up my first and it's a Sea Dweller I think my answer is pretty obvious.

I voted the YM2 although I doubt I will ever cough up the cash for one.
When I give up that much it will be for a Plat DD.
I do not know if I could justify having that much tied up in just 2 watches.
20, yes but 2???? I don't know and I have trouble selling anything.

My second choice is the Deep Sea Sea Dweller as I am getting one soon
I then like the Explorer II white dial, GMT II C, YM, Explorer one, Sub LV
(if it wasn't for the LV I wouldn't get a sub at all, I see too many of them
I just feel its been soooo overdone by now, its a shame. I like the SD its
a little more low key)
the Milgauss does nothing for me and I am really up on the fence with the
Daytona, I am not sure if I love it or hate it yet... I don't like the price and
have no use for a Chrono BUT it does look good BUT there are better Chronos
out there I feel.

Explorer II for me. I like the subtle/distinctive styling and dual-time function. GMT II is too expensive for me and looks too much like SD/Sub (SS versions).

I voted GMT IIc, but it would be tough to choose between that and the Sub.

I used to like the Rolex Sub the best of the sport watches, but the Rolex YM is now my favorite. However, since I do not like large watches I am content with my 36mm Rolex SS Datejust. Still, I do admire the Rolex sport watches.

What's with the Mugabe tactics? Removing the obvious opposition (Sea Dweller) as it is too strong a contender?

I would have voted SD too.

Relax Man. SD is already discountinued, what can I do?
If the discountinue model include, the pool is not enough.

"Submariner"

Wish there'd been separate categories for Submariner and Submariner Date. I voted Sub Date, but would not have voted classic Sub.

Tough choice for me: Inched out the Explorer I by a hair!
