If only one watch to wear which one?

A white gold Daytona or a white gold BLRO?

BLRO- just picked one up as the only watch to wear.
- Date function & tracking different time zones are more useful than a chronograph to me.
- Like the splash of color on the blro as well.

BLRO. It has a date and the GMT hand is useful when traveling to other timezones.

That said, my sense is that the chronograph complication, like the Daytona has, is under-utilized. I think its a useful function. I use my chronograph quite often to track time when cooking, and doing laundry. It also useful for those who bill hourly--like attorneys--to keep track of billing when out of the office and away from computerized timekeeping software.

BLRO as it has a date. I ended up selling my Daytona as I like having the date handy.

GMT II by leaps and bounds. Far more useful functions for all but racing drivers.

I love Daytonas too.

In all fairness chronographs aren't only used by racing drivers. In my personal opinion a Chronograph is on of the most useful complications on a watch.

A GMT can only really be used when traveling, or to workout the time in different time zones. I would say I use that function less in my day to day life than a chronograph


I love the GMT though haha

So, what is it that you time? I love the chrono complication, but I can never come up with a reason to buy it other than it looks cool. Given, that's good enough. LOL!

BLRO, quite simply because of the amazing process that goes into creating a single-piece bezel insert of half red and half blue solid Cerachrom ceramic. Of course if the options were BLRO vs Platona, then I'd have to say Platona ;)
