I am thinking about either buying the stainless steel Ceramic Daytona (Black) or the white gold GMT BLRO (116719). What should I do? I can get the BLRO now, or wait a few more months for the Daytona. Do you find that one is more comfortable or stylish? Thanks!

SDRider · 20 September 2017, 01:05 PM

Wait a few months for the Daytona? Yeah, I'd go with that.

ras47 · 20 September 2017, 01:07 PM

I personally prefer the older stainless steel BLRO to the new WG model. I'd choose the white dial/black bezel Daytona over the new BLRO. But the original SS BLRO is still my favorite, and can be had for $7,000 to $8,000 in very clean condition. If you get a good deal on the Daytona you might also be able to swing the SS BLRO. Together they should cost about the same as the new WG BLRO.

MickCollins1916 · 20 September 2017, 01:08 PM

Both great and different options. Have you tried either or both on? Do you travel often or use a chrono function? I'd suggest buying whatever YOU like more, and if that involves waiting, then that's the best option.

AS1 · 20 September 2017, 01:08 PM

the BLRO

sensui · 20 September 2017, 01:16 PM

Would be the Daytona for me....the blro needs better red/blue.

yvrclimber · 20 September 2017, 01:17 PM

Both. Steel BLRO (1675?) would let you get both?

Between the two, BLRO would be my choice.

RichM · 20 September 2017, 01:19 PM

BLRO. No time like today. I'm waiting two months for the 116519 which I thought would be sooner. Live for today.

HK Islandboy · 20 September 2017, 01:23 PM

The Daytona is an amazing watch, but too small for me personally. In that context, I'd go for the BLRO

Daytona

BLRO! That is the hefty of the heft!

jazznpool · 20 September 2017, 01:46 PM

I love the BLRO as I am an unabashed GMT II fan. Given a choice I'd take the BLRO over either of the SS Daytonas without a second thought.

Helmi · 20 September 2017, 01:50 PM

Daytona

Joemck · 20 September 2017, 01:56 PM

BLRO all day long

Glidelock · 20 September 2017, 02:07 PM

Having had the opportunity to recently try on both color options of the Daytona 500, as well as having had tried on the White Gold BLRO on several prior occasions, I would definitely choose the White Daytona 500, and as others have said...pick up an SS BLRO to boot!

lig · 20 September 2017, 02:11 PM

I'd choose the 116500 + an original Pepsi or BLNR over the BLRO.

Investr · 20 September 2017, 02:27 PM

Daytona all the way!!!!

GB-man · 20 September 2017, 02:30 PM

I would argue the Daytona is both more comfortable and more stylish but I'd still get the BLRO now. Such a sweet piece

dave023 · 20 September 2017, 02:37 PM

Daytona.

Heff · 20 September 2017, 03:03 PM

BLRO every time.

Just got the BLRO - a GMT function is super important to me and very handy. I have a stellar 5/6 watch collection but could honestly just get by with this one.

Go BLRO trust me

Vaxe · 20 September 2017, 04:23 PM

Another vote for BLRO, just get it now and enjoy, no telling when your Daytona will arrive so why wait.

ajas · 20 September 2017, 04:27 PM

I would go for BLRO

The easiest choice ever - DAYTONA!

vipereaper30 · 20 September 2017, 07:36 PM

BLRO easy over the Daytona, which is too small with a busy dial. The WG GMT is hard to beat in the modern Rolex lineup!

regnant · 20 September 2017, 07:36 PM

Daytona 116500 LN

Number3 · 20 September 2017, 07:53 PM

BLRO for me.

tommy91 · 20 September 2017, 08:10 PM

My head would tell me Daytona, heart would be telling me BLRO. I would probably listen to my head though as I am sure I could enjoy the new Daytona as much as BLRO
