In a vacuum if you could just have 1 of these to wear on a daily basis what would you choose ?

watchwatcher · 6 May 2018, 07:37 AM

BLRO. But I would have to scrounge around in the vacuum for a different bracelet or strap to put on it.

Depends on your personality...
Are you more subtle and strong like a Daytona
Or like a shiny red blue bezel tied together by a SS blinged out looking jubilee?

Are you the quiet guy in the room or the guy that talks all the time in the center of the room

lol

SS BLRO all the way. IMO, the White dial option with the black bezel on the Daytona C isn't my cup of tea. Now the black version is another story, but I would still take the SS Pepsi over either Daytona choice.

I am on the list for the black Daytona and the SS Pepsi. I guess if the Daytona showed up first I would pass on it and wait for the SS Pepsi.

mahefa · 6 May 2018, 07:50 AM

Daytona is nice but SS BLRO will beat it in every way in my opinion.

jed11 · 6 May 2018, 07:57 AM

Daytona for sure.

JR16 · 6 May 2018, 08:12 AM

Without a doubt the Daytona. Have a feeling the SS BLRO is going to disappoint

Daytona for the comfort. GMT for the complication. Tough pick if just one.

Black GMT to combine both.

Simon_e · 6 May 2018, 08:53 AM

Easy choice - the daytona, it's much more beautiful and fits my lifestyle better.
I do like the GMT and will buy one but for me the daytona is the ultimate watch

Flybak · 6 May 2018, 09:01 AM

I like both complications, but not necessary both of the proposed models. I'd go with the Daytona between these two, and either the all-black ceramic GMT or the BLNR (leaning more toward the oyster look than jubilee right now).

brucethemanlee · 6 May 2018, 09:34 AM

I tried on BLRO and had it next to my Daytona. I want the combo for sure. However if just only one?

DAYTONA without question!!

In that photo, the Daytona has the cleaner look and the best overall one watch only. The colors on the GMT may tire quickly.

codester · 6 May 2018, 09:50 AM

GMT for me. Love the color!

TickTockChuck · 6 May 2018, 10:13 AM

SS BLRO for me please! Love the look and useful complication for my lifestyle (date, 24h hand, legibility, better lume, sweep second hand). Although I appreciate the beauty of the Daytona, a chronograph really is of no use to me most of the time. I also find the Daytona a bit hard to read at a glance due to the busier dial. Not saying I'll never get a Daytona, but I would choose a GMT first. Cheers!

Spoonage · 6 May 2018, 10:28 AM

BLRO because I need the GMT function more than a Chrono. With that being said I currently have a BLNR and white dial DaytonaC. Would still pick the BLNR over the Daytona

fishingbear · 6 May 2018, 10:32 AM

“to wear on a daily basis”; I’d have to go with the GMT.
However I will own both when my BLRO comes in.

Seaswirl · 6 May 2018, 10:40 AM

White Daytona. I’m not sold yet on the Pepsi and need to see it in the metal.

nocampo · 6 May 2018, 11:30 AM

SS BLRO for me as I find the second time zone and date function of more use than chronograph.

wulin · 6 May 2018, 12:40 PM

Daytona...Not a fan of the jubilee bracelet.

kaien · 6 May 2018, 12:43 PM

Tough choice...

The Jubilee bracelet on the BLRO isn't my (current) cup of tea, but the Daytona doesn't have the date (which I prefer).

However, because I already own a BLNR, my vote falls to the Daytona.

VICI · 6 May 2018, 01:03 PM

Depends on the size of your wrist and if the date is important.

Or.. the GMT.

Think about it from a function perspective too.

I like the YMII but have no use for the 10 min counter.

Justindo · 6 May 2018, 01:06 PM

These are the two Rolexes I'm hoping to get this year but I would definitely take the Daytona over the BLRO.

G8RDPM · 6 May 2018, 01:23 PM

SWISSAHOLICS · 6 May 2018, 01:34 PM

Daytona

Andad · 6 May 2018, 01:40 PM

I have an M white SS Daytona and an M Pepsi.

I can not bring myself to even vote based on the current availability/price fiasco.

I have lost all interest in these models.

watchmework · 6 May 2018, 01:46 PM
