Daytona + Sub + GMT II
But I could also live without the Sub and some cash in my pocket!

Well, I really wasn't thinking outside the box when I voted for the Explorer, GMT, and Air King.
I would get the new Explorer II and then use the rest of the money to get into as much adventure as possible and give the Explorer a REAL test and run for its money!!

White Gold Sub-C.

If I didn't have to pick a Rolex, I'd probably get a Carbon ROO.

A Plat DDII in Ice Blue Romans or a Patek

I always have wanted a Day-Date so my vote goes there. But an all gold GMT sounds good also!!!

i spent 20k this month for 1 tag aquaracer, 1 longines master moon phase, 2 datejust II..
i can add another 6k for daydate II but 1 watch for 26k is a bit too much for me, i rather have 4 watches for all occasions.. :)

if i got another 30k, i would definitely buy daydate..

Day-date and Pepsi GMT. Both vintage with acrylic crystals. Is that possible within this budget? (new to the forum)
