Which Blue dial White Gold Watch would you pick?

Hi All

What would you pick?

Daytona 116509 vs Submariner 116619LB?

Thanks!

If the opinion of a 1 month Rolex fan is worth anything, I find the Daytona to confusing. Too many dials. I prefer a more simplistic design so I would go Sub.

No contest - Daytona. Best dial on any Rolex.

I'm not a Daytona fan at all, but yeah, Daytona man.

I vote for the Daytona because the red accents in the blue dial make the whole dial much more interesting

I know I'd pick the Sub. I'm not a Daytona fan but no doubt that one is a Beauty.

Out of only those two? I think the Daytona wins by a small margin. I like the pop of red in the sub dials along with the functionality of the chronograph.
