Top row, 4th one from the left is a Sub?

Bottom row, from the left - 3rd one is Omega SMP (GMT?), 4th one is Seiko Monster(?), 5th one is Rolex Oyseter Perpetual.

Rolex doesn't put 'lume' in the 'seconds' hand....if it was a date model, no lume on '3'

I think top row, 4th over is a sub date.

Bottom row, 1st on left, is it an Omega DM?

No clue on the others.

Edit: I thought it was divemaster (hence the DM), but apparently the proper name is seamaster. My bad.

No way....GMTs don't have a luminous dot on the bezel at '12'.

My 2 cents:
Top row, left to right; 1st looks like a Glycine, 3rd Omega Seamaster PO, 4th Rolex sports model (date sub?)

Bottom row, 1st Omega Seamaster, 4th Seiko, 5th Sinn

Top row: (correct answers so far)
3rd Omega Seamaster PO
4th Rolex sports model (specify)

Bottom Row: (correct answers so far)
1st Omega Seamaster Chronograph
4th Seiko Monster

Seems like everyone is getting the seiko with its signature lume.

This is a very big hint, the top row fourth one isn't a sub. (not alpha either )

There is no Oris in the picture, no Glycine, no Sinn, no anonimo either.

There is one more omega in this picture.

I will reveal the answer at midnight tonight (Eastern time)

Odds are slim I know but that middle one on the bottom looked just like a Citizen I saw at Costco tonite.

The only one I got right was the SD...I guess I should broaden my horizons.

Kudos to you Ken, that was very interesting.

I am very interested in getting myself that IWC aquatimer, 2000m W/R yet still look decently dressy.

here is a pic of the lumes after 1 hour.

That citizen kicks some serious ass.
