No. 7 Daytona Black Ref 116520
No. 8 Explorer II Black Dial
No. 9 Yacht- master Ref 16622
No. 10 Explorer I ref 214270
Beside, this is very personal as someone’s wrist is too small for a Deepsea, it might be good for someone but not for me, someone may like Simple watch like Explorer I but I can not tolerate watch without a date as It is important for me…
Someone may criticize Daytona has no date,,, but think about the design, it is hard to accommodate an extra space for a Date!
As for Lady, I think Milgauss Green Glass, Submariner Green or Explorer I is nice, fro the Green Sub, as the colour seems make the watch look larger, only you hand can carry the Submariner green as it looks a bit big for most of the average Asian Lady.
