Rolex GMT-Master II BLNR Or Daytona SS 116520
I am on the verge of getting myself a Rolex GMT-Master ii BLNR watch next month. Actually, to be more exact, I am 80% sure of getting one as I am still kinda debating between getting the BLNR or a Rolex Daytona stainless steel watch, which is the other 20%. You see, at first, I wanted to get the Daytona SS so that I can have each version of them in SS, TT, YG as I already have the Daytona in TT and YG already. Both of them with the Rolex Modified El Primero Zenith movements. Anyway, when I saw the Rolex GMT-Master II BLNR, I suddenly got struck by it that all of a sudden, it came to the equation of me either getting it or the Rolex Daytona SS. At first, it was a 50-50 tie between the BLNR or the Daytona SS but as time goes by, I seem to be leaning towards the former. I know that the Daytona is more of an icon and has more history to it but there is something with the BLNR, which I cannot explain that draws me to it. Also, one thing going for the BLNR is that I feel that I can see the time much easier that I would with the Daytona as it's dial is somewhat more legible. For your information, I am 55 years old already and my vision isn't anymore as good as when I was younger that I need glasses nowadays to read. I might be wrong but it also seems that the BLNR is more rugged and is a bit better everyday watch. My question to you guys out there, do you think that I would be making the right decision if ever I choose the BLNR over the Daytona in spite of the latter's history? Or it would be better to have a Daytona in 3 versions, SS, TT and YG? The last 2, I already have. If you were in my shoes, what would you most likely choose between the BLNR and Daytona?Another information, aside from owning a TT and YG Daytona, I also have DD I, Submariner TT Blue and GMT i SS Pepsi Rolexes.
THANKS. PS. By the way, if ever I would have to go the Rolex Daytona SS way, I would have to get it second hand because my budget can only go as far as a brand new Rolex GMT-Master 2 BLNR because here in the Philippines, a brand new Rolex Daytona SS is at least 100k+( Philippine Currency) more expensive than a BLNR. A second hand Daytona SS would cost 20K more than a brand new BLNR. |
