Going a bit funky with the Yachtmaster but:

3-4 bad-ass pieces in my opinion... :headbang:

The EXP 2 with black bezel looks great.

A couple more months to see, but these guys absolutely don't have real rendering from Rolex. Best guesses, at best.

I would think something in white gold like you said...too bad they wouldn't do a steel coke or pepsi GMT -that might get me to the one watch...

The Explorer II is incredible. The thinner bezel is notable. Second, third and fourth are the red SD, Yactmaster and Daytona.

A WG sea dweller would be a beast.

The WG Sea Dweller is completely off the charts.

Where did you see that? If there was a 42mm SDC I would order one now. I think these are mostly fantasy and a lot of Photoshop, so we'll see. But I didn't see any mention of 42mm.

I don't think SD will get made in any precious metal. The history of the Explorer and Sea-Dweller are pure tool and never made in precious metal.

I certainly think the Coke GMT and an anniversary SDC are possible.
