I think you try them all on and pick the one that you think fits you the best. Those are all magnificent choices and I'd be happy as a clam to be able to pick up one of any of those choices.

Haha! Well then, sorry mate, can't help ya! My choice is the Sub. Hands down one of my favorite watches. Since you asked for input.

But like I said, I'd be very happy with any of them.

Anyone want to give me one to try out and just make sure I'd be happy with it?

Of them all I would go with the GMT. Unless you actually would use the Submariner for its intended purpose.

All of these are awesome watches, I'd love to own any of them. My only beef with the DDII, or rather with the DDII model you're thinking about, is that for 25k you should be able to read your watch at night. There's no lume on there whatsoever. I mean, they could have at least put some on the hands. When you think about it, as their flagship watch, no lume at all is just ridiculous...

now that i think about it, before making up my mind about buying a gold rolex, i always loved the black gmt master. well i didnt actually make up my mind, i told my dad i liked the black yellow gold gmt master and he said that he didn't believe i could spare for a gold rolex after my recent purchases, and i said that if i showd him i could go right now to the AD and pay cash for the gold rolex, he'd have to pay for half of it, and what do you know, he agreed ajajajjajajaja, so I show'd him the money and showd him zero debt. so theres the discount i am getting form my ad plus a 50% discount accountable to my dad. THANK'S DAD JAJAJAJAJ

First choice - yellow gold Blue Sub (with the maxi dial); second choice would be the black dial GMT2c. Good luck!

I think if you want a solid gold it should be the DDII , its a stunning watch. I just prefer my sports watches in SS

What about a gold daytona? Prefer the White gold in sub. Out of your pick I would go for a GMT. Best of luck with your choice.

Black or Green dial GMT, although the Day-Date II is a good option too.

It depends on what you want: whether you want a more sporty watch with an oyster bracelet, 24-hour hand (GMT), and lume, or something more classy with a president bracelet.
