A Sub is a very practical watch for anyone that will never lose its appeal. By today's standards, it can be worn with most any attire.

The GMTII is a very beautiful and versatile watch. I think that it is the most versatile watch in terms of wardrobe and utility. It tells time in three timezones and the bezel will work as an elapsed time bezel, if you so desire.

The YMII is highly specialized in its utility and its busy dial and bright color scheme would not be a very versatile accessory to your wardrobe, especially for business purposes.

You could buy all three and you could have a lot of bases covered.

Adding a DJ would really round things out.

I agree with Grady's assessment here. I would toss out the YMII and go with one of the other three. Any one would be fine first Rolex.
