Okay, The Breitling and Omega, for all that both are nice watches, are in a lower tier than the others.
Any of the rest are great choices. The JLC is pure class, already discussed. The Zenith is a classic, and daytonas used to use a Zenith movement. It's a little dated, though.
The Daytona has an in-house movement, which, in true Rolex style, has undergone a number of silent upgrades since its introduction. It's very sturdy, goes with a work suit or at the beach, and is comfortable on the wrist.
If you don't have a Daytona and don't need a date function, that's a great choice. On the bracelet, it's water resistant as deep as you'll go (I wouldn't get leather wet and other straps won't be as versatile as the bracelet).
Otherwise, the JLC is the choice. You run into the occasional daytona, but a JLC is something that only those in the know, know. The JLC doesn't call attention to itself the way the Rolex does, but everytime you look at the JLC, you'll smile.
