Which 3 modern SS watches would you want to own?

If you were able to have 3 modern stainless steel Rolex watches which ones would they be??? Lets assume you don't care about price and assume you are starting a new collection from scratch.

I could only fit 10 on the survey so I left out the Air King and Datejust and went with the sports models.

ONLY PICK 3, think some people are having a hard time counting (mjclark32 & ciscopro2000). By the way the poll is public so we can see what you voted for.

Sub N/D. Got!

Current (old?) Expy II polar. Really want.

Nothing else I want and, the way the designs are going, I can't see there will be again. The Long-Haired General, for one, is pleased!

Pepsi----have

Pre-Ceramic Sub----have

If the newly updated EXPII isn't too big for me then I want that......otherwise the old EXP II Polar is what I'll be getting next.

I have a GMT Pepsi & SS Daytona and I like to add the new YM II, I cant wait to see how the SS and Rose gold blend together.

Have an Explorer II white dial.

Would accept receiving the Hulk and non-GV Milgauss.

And, as a good Rolexaholic, I'd take a fourth: Coke on a SJ.

Given that this is SS only I voted for Explorer, pre-ceramic GMT and ceramic sub.

Had it been TT I would have voted for GMT, Sub and Daytona though.

Maybe we should start another TT survey... would be interesting to see the differences.

Got 'em! :-)

Sub LV, Explorer II and YM.

(If I could add a fourth it would be a Pepsi.)

But why is the Explorer I and II always listed together like that? They're more different in comparison than the Sub and GMT, or YM for that matter.

" Which 3 modern SS watches would you want to own? "

You buying?

I suppose that seeing how I have the classic seadweller, I'd go for the ceramic Sub to have both types, and then a Daytona for good measure.
