My favorite modern is the GMT IIc.
My favorite vintage is a 1680 Sub.

Submariner... Self explanatory.

GMT-II is a very close runner up!

The DayDate in all of its variations (even II with the right bezel... diamond encrusted ). Followed by YG (or WG) Sub and the Milgauss GV... it just looks so good in photos

SS GMT IIc.
I don't know exactly what it is about this watch. It's just the complete package for me I guess.

A toss up between the Sub LV and EXP II. Love the design of both, super reliable and tough as nails.

It would have to be between the classic GMT II and the Sub. Tough to pick just one.

Hi Leo,
No, I didn't go with the platinum.
Stuck with WG. I actually like the fluted bezel better. . the plain polished bezel of the PT was the deal breaker - so I saved a few bucks too!!
