Some watches I am considering:

Black Bay GMT - I've been following this watch since ZF's release. The quality and accuracy are top-notch. The date and bezel color are nearly perfect. However, I am turned off by the ICHS. I will wait for a CHS version from another factory.

GMT Master II - This is the only rep available with true GMT + CHS AFAIK. I travel frequently and am a fan of true GMT function when flying. I own a few genuine true GMTs. The Batman and Pepsi bezels are still far from accurate IMO; leaving only the black version to buy as of today. The DWs are a hit or miss and can vary from batch to batch. Most rep true GMT movements are still unreliable. I might wait for better DW consistencies and movement reliability.

SubC - Noob v10? Looks pretty good OOTB from a distance away. The current batch of Noob v10 seems to have good looking DW. I prefer the No Date version to eliminate the inaccurate cyclops/date but the Date version is currently on sale. Maybe will try both.

Daytona pre-ceramic - This one is exciting. Finally a fully functional chronograph and correct thickness! I would love a TT but a gold-wrapped version doesn't exist AFAIK. The gold IP looks terrible on most of these. The SS versions are fine.

OP39 - I am looking to buy a red grape and wear it OOTB on a strap. The ARF is recommended but I don't want an SH3132. Is there anything wrong with the UBF version?

AP RO Panda chronograph - Almost perfect. The date is still not centered. I will wait for a release with a centered date.

Nautilus - Blue dial color still off. DW font/print has room for improvement. I will wait for a more accurate blue dial.


What is your favorite watch and do you have recommendations of what I should add to my list?
