Black and blue, or white and gold?





I vote black and blue :)

They are both quite different, and big price difference too. I find the daytona to small, but a stunning watch.

Tough choice, I'd go black & blue myself.

You need to be comparing apples with apples; the watches shown are very different time-pieces and, in my opinion, cannot be compared in either function or price. However, I like them both but for different reasons.

Daytona. But as an aside the dress looks white and gold to me. It's taking over the internet!

Not only do I see white and gold, I can't see how anyone gets blue and black out of that dang photo

. . . . as to the watches, I'd be good with either

They are both gorgeous watches & obviously are totally different in terms of look. What fits in with your lifestyle better? Do you plan on a Sub some day? In that case, I would go for the Daytona. Are you thinking you might want a gold Day Date someday? Go for the GMT instead. I dont envy your dilemma. All the best. :-)
