Reasoning below;

Daytona: No date kill it. Look small on 6.5” wrist too.

SubC/ND/Hulk: Super case make it look blocky. Glidelock although fanciful and very adjustable on paper, quite useless for me as hardly use it. If necessary to expand bracelet, Easylink seem easier. Either on or off, no need to stumble for accurate adjustment. Bezel click is quite distracting.

GMT: Super case issue again. Beside the PCL, nothing to nitpick for me. Bezel action is muted and usable for tracking elapsed time albeit with 2-3 mins off accuracy.

ExpII 42: 42mm case might be too big for some but black dial wear smaller. Dial to body ratio is very high, meant superb legibility. Had both black and white 42mm, keeping the black. Find it easier to read on black dial during half dark half bright situation. Fixed bezel a plus as no moving part meant it’s more rugged and easier to replace/polish if banged up. GMT hand serve as day night indicator if it’s not used to show second time zone.

Thanks for the experience. Should chsnge your profile pic
