Everyone thank you for your responses. Sorry it took awhile to respond. Life happens. It was interesting to see which watch garnered more thumbs up and it seems like the BLRO was the winner. Regardless, I'm going to pull the trigger and flip my WG Daytona plus some cash for a relatively (i.e 2-3 months old) mint BLRO. I had the Daytona for around 2 years and during that time only 2 people noticed it in as far as commenting how nice the watch was. It was so under the radar which was nice, but I missed having a date function which is why I wore my Omega DSOM more this past year. I thought about getting a SS Pepsi GMT, but having a precious metal watch it is hard to go back to SS. Having had the SS LN model of the GMT which I wore for 5 years I have a feeling this will be my last watch purchase because it's everything I want in a watch.

One question, how important would it be to you if the watch you bought didn't have the green hang tag that had the serial number of the watch stickered in the back?

I love the GMT though haha

So, what is it that you time? I love the chrono complication, but I can never come up with a reason to buy it other than it looks cool. Given, that's good enough. LOL!

It is certainly the WG BLRO because the GMT watch with the date is much more useful than the chrono watch without the date.

Daytona for me.

I have that same 116509 and really like it because it's the one Daytona dial I can actually read the time and subdials from at a glance. But if it's case of one having to go, it's an easy choice;

BLRO stays. Sayonara Daytona.

yld2rob · 9 October 2015, 10:57 PM

That Daytona combo is my favorite one. So I would choose it.

Nice to have the hang tag, but not important. Just make sure you get the correct warranty card.
