Very different watches, but if someone opened a box and told you to pick one are you taking the Batman or the white gold Daytona on leather.

Bluside · 28 April 2017, 11:35 AM

Daytona. I already have a BLNR.

But if I didn't, I would still pick the WG Daytona (and get the BLNR later.)

AK797 · 28 April 2017, 11:36 AM

The new WG Panda would be coming home with me.

kilyung · 28 April 2017, 12:01 PM

Gold

armen34 · 28 April 2017, 12:02 PM

Daytona for me, especially if I don't have to pay for it

DrThom · 28 April 2017, 12:55 PM

BLNR, never been a fan of the Daytona (sorry).

locutus49 · 28 April 2017, 01:04 PM

Daytona, by a mile.

Sky21 · 28 April 2017, 01:07 PM

116519, is this really even close??

c41006 · 28 April 2017, 01:08 PM

Daytona, because it's not a BLNR

clinton_L · 28 April 2017, 01:18 PM

Blnr

rolexnub · 28 April 2017, 02:53 PM

BLNR ... not a fan of the overpriced Daytona.

sensui · 28 April 2017, 03:50 PM

My favorite six digit steel Rolex is the blnr....now that that's out of the way...the Daytona hands down.

busytimmy · 28 April 2017, 04:08 PM

Always gold

And1dre · 28 April 2017, 04:11 PM

BLNR gets my vote.

rsm335dase · 28 April 2017, 04:35 PM

How on earth has the Daytona enjoyed such mythical status? Even for the normally sighted the subsidiary dials require a certain amount of squinting for establishing timings.In addition the hour and minute hands can also be a pain to read because of reflection.
A very very overrated overpriced chronograph- it simply does not perform the role required. I speak from experience having had a Zenith.The much overhyped new Ceramic Daytona has failed to address this major issue!
The BLNR delivers on all fronts-NO CONTEST!!!
And as for all those demented owners who have paid up to twice retail for the privilege of flashing the new Daytona on their wrists it can only be for one reason-sheer vanity.
My BLNR leaves for nothing!

Great feedback everyone, thanks!

sacsha00786 · 29 April 2017, 04:13 AM

Despite being a owner of a new daytona, I would recommend the BLNR. It is such a beautiful and practical watch!

m j b · 29 April 2017, 04:33 AM

I had a Daytona and I could rarely tell what time it was. Not enough contrast between the hands and the face/subdials. Natch, that depends on the color of the face, subdials and hands, but I've yet to find one that works for me. Except maybe the new blue face, with black hands. But I can't buy it new, and I'm not sure I want to spend more than twice the BLNR price on even a used one.

Devildog · 29 April 2017, 04:41 AM

It's a no brainier.

Take the Daytona, sell it, and buy a BLNR and pocket a chunk of cash.

Strange question. One is 3 times the price of the other.

Atleo · 29 April 2017, 05:31 AM

Blnr. Every time.
