If only one watch to wear which one?
A white gold Daytona or a white gold BLRO?

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

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 ;)
