I can not personally recommend any of those watches nor do I desire them. I’m out.

If you pick it? No. If it gets the most votes total? It may help sway my pick. I'm between a few for various reasons and just wanted some input on what other collector's choices would be.

If you have to ask, you need to keep looking. I'd take the Sub Date but I can't tell you what you like best.

Probably a good shout, if you’re not sure what you want, you’ve likely yet to find what you want! That said, sometimes you need to hear answers from others to work out what you really want. If my wife asks me what I want for dinner and sheer gives me options, I very rarely have a preference. Until she picks the ‘wrong’ Option, at which point I realise I did have a preference after all!

Just cannot understand these types of posts myself always buy things that I want to own, and dont need opinions on what to buy anything, except to use my own 79 year old brain.

The YG Submariner would be where I went. Great bracelet with the Glide lock clasp. Good presence and fairly priced from the Trusted Sellers. I would look at 116618LB or LN and save 5-6k. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

From the options it would appear you like the Daytona the best.

I’d put those references on tiny scraps of paper in a hat, close your eyes, reach in, and pick one

Which one is the 'bumblebee dial?' Got a pic?

I voted for the sub, but could be swayed based on the mystery Daytona.

Definitely choosing among the “Texas Timex” options there.

Personally, I do not like diamonds on any watch other than a small ladies DJ.

If there is a poll, I’ve been partially banned, because I can’t see it. So, not knowing what you own, though presumably there is a GMT Master II in the mix, because I know you like GMT’s, and because I like it, I choose the Root Beer.

Ahh! I two have a Zodiac Sea wolf, the one that looks most like the original, with the all SS bezel and black triangle markers. Great watch. I was a hit at their booth at Windup in SF. Anyway, I’ll stick with the Root Beer. Such a beautiful piece!
