SS GMT BLRO v White Daytona C

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

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
