Sorry, but for me that is like asking "Which appendage do you want to cut off?"

My apologies Tim. I was actually going to include ALL current Rolex watches, rather than just the professional ones. The Poll system, however, wouldn't let me put more than 10 options, so I thought I'd stick with the current models.

GMT II, black and burgundy. Seriously, I have owned a few Rolex sport models and this is the first that I cannot take my eyes off of. I have always really disliked the cyclops but on this model, I love it, maybe I have just been converted to a cyclops lover after years of not liking it. I have flipped watches in the past due to the cyclops, I have tried to like it but until now, no such luck. My latest GMT II, I seriously love this watch, it's ridiculous.

Beautiful watch karmatp, I definitely like the "Coke" GMT-Master II more than the "Pepsi" one. While I like the GMT-Master II for its classic and simple look, I also welcome the GMT-Master II Ceramic model for its technological advancements (movement), as well as its new ceramic bezel (because it's bigger and it's engraved), its new clasp, and also for its triplock crown. I do not, however, like the maxi dial much.

My dream watch would be an SS GMT-II C with a normal dial (no maxi).

Well, mfer, I am not asking you which Rolex you'd pick to live with forever if you had to choose just one. You can have'em all! Just... which one's better looking?

I'm personally having a hard time deciding between the GMT-II C and Sub Date, I haven't voted yet!

33 voters so far, and it looks like the Sub Date is winning! Followed by the Daytona in second place.

I've never been much of a Daytona guy, but this one's right at the top of my Killer Rolex list!! Not sure if I swiped this pic from the 'net or whether it's from someone here.

While I'm in no real hurry for another watch, I always thought my next watch would be a SS/PL Yachtmaster, however, after seeing Bisquitlips new Yachtmaster, I think that is the one.

Daytona and Sub Date are tied, with 16 votes each!

GMT-II and GMT-II C are tied, with 10 votes each!
