Which to choose ??

Hi all,
Had a question for ya, (which probably has been asked before in some form of another) , but here it goes :

What watch would you get, and WHY ? (considering that A. You could walk into any AD and buy one on the spot, and B. Money was no object):

A. Submariner (Any model, SS, TT, etc.)
B. Daytona (again, any model)
C. GMT Master IIc


Would be interesting to see the responses. I know the SS Daytona is almost impossible to get, however, like I said, let's say that ALL of these watches (for the sake of the post) is readily available at the AD, with no waiting list, which would you get, and why ?

I'll start. I guess I'd choose a TT GMT mater IIc because it's a newer designed (for the most part) watch, can keep track of multiple time zones, and would just be more of a functional watch IMO.

Think the Daytona is going to get most of the votes.
Gets mine.

B = WG Daytona with meteorite dial and Roman numerals if money was no object. Why? Because I like chronographs.

I would go for the SS Sub Date. It was my first Rolex and would be my first choice again. The Daytona will be my next watch if I ever get another one, but for me the Sub is just a classic and beautiful watch that matches my personality the best.

I have never warmed up to the new GMT with it's blocky case and over-sized numbers.....I like the older model GMT and have several of those...

Subs are great, but they're a dime a dozen, everybody has one...

I'll take this one thank-you...... I just wish they made it with a brushed bracelet..
