Less confusing poll: SS Daytona vs SS GMT IIc

Other poll confused me and several others, thought I'd start a new one worded thusly: if you had both of these watches and for whatever reason needed to let one go, which one would you KEEP?

Anyone care to guess how I cast my vote?

Keep the GMT. More real life function, durable, and a date.

You would regret selling the Daytona, so my vote would have to go to the Daytona.

I have both and although I would like to keep the GMT II C because its my daily wearer and awesome I would keep the SS Daytona. They are a bit easier to get trhan before, but they are not growing on trees. Still hard to get.

Once the economy improves they will be more difficult to get and again at a premium. So I would keep the daytona.

I agree, keep the Daytona. Althought I do not have one, they are not nearly as plentifull as the GMT IIc and I would think you could pick up a GMT easier than a Daytona in the future. I do not agree that the price on either will substantially increase anytime soon, enonomy or not... Just my 2 cents...
