Congratulations on the 40th, a wife who supports your watch passion and a great watch tomorrow. I wasn't too fond of the cyclops at first on my polar Explorer II but grew used to it and then appreciative. When I wear my most comfortable Explorer I, I miss the date. I'd go with the GMT II myself.

Gmt has a busier bezel and a little of that bluish green to it so it's a special watch but I'd pick which function, sport or interest you most are akin too.

The GMT is more versatile, but the Sub is inevitable.

I'm hoping for a GMTc. Gives you a date and a second time zone along with the bezel that you can use as a marker. Makes it very versatile. The PCL also upgrades the piece to a dressier watch. Then again the sub is such a classic, it's hard to argue. Happy birthday and have a fun day and a great lunch. The day comes to be fashionable on time my friend...

GMT II only if you need a second time zone.
Sub C gets my vote.
Advance wishes.

My choice would be the 114060; hard to find a nicer watch.

Have a great day and enjoy the buying experience! No wrong choice can be made.
The 114060 is perfection in my opinion.

Its strange and hard to explain, but the 114060 is so much more than a sub without date

Greater than the sum of its components... and even the components it doesn't have

Happy Birthday! I have to say as an only Rolex, you can't beat the Sub (and I'm a bigger GMT fan).

So, I was pretty certain that the sub would win. Clean dial, classic, all time keeper.

I tried them both on.

And...

It just sang louder!
And I love it!

Thanks all for the advice, good wishes and enabling. Now, I wonder how long before I can start talking about adding an 114060 without the threat of divorce!
