I'll be going with the White Dial Daytona C.

I like the BLNR, but I'm not a fan of the jubilee. If it was on a regular oyster bracelet it could be a different story.

I have both.

I’m on holiday at the moment and right now it is 11pm and I’m chilling in the bar with my family.

I could have worn either. On my wrist is the Pepsi .

I have gone between liking the Daytona more and then the Pepsi, for sure at the moment it is the Pepsi.

I had a recent comment about the Pepsi ‘it is all the watch you will ever need’ I would take the Pepsi if I had to choose.

Really wanting a black dial Daytona though.

DAYTONA without question!!

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

Daytona White for me, while I think the GMT is a more practical daily wearer, I'm not particularly fond of the purplish bezel. I do however like the jubilee bracelet.

BLRO for me but own and love both. This one has quickly become my overall favorite!

I love both but have to go with the Daytona. The new white ceramic combines all the great things from Daytonas over time without the exotic dial. The white dial is like the original porcelain dial from the early 16520's. The Bezel is like the famous 6263. The bracelet is just awesome and comfortable and the new movement is hyper accurate. The only thing I miss is a date but its easy to not have.

If you wants a legendary chrono--it's gotta be a Speedie.

I own them both among other Daytonas and GMTs - and as surprising it is for me to admit, I’d take the BLRO all day long over the Daytona in this comparison.

White dial Daytona for me! Jubilee doesn’t do it for me. I have the 116500 and BLNR and love the combo though. BLNR will be my travel watch, and I love it, but can’t beat the Daytona for a daily.

If it was my one and only, SS BLRO...I just need something with a date.
