Platinum Daytona but one with new dial for me. Love the glacier sub dials and subtle diamond markers. Also love that you rarely see them if even at all.

I don't think its a decision I'll be making anytime soon, but I do love the BLRO so would go with that.

BLRO- brown/blue doesn't do it for me. Like the pepsi colors better. Never had anything with WG, so that's another plus for the pepsi

Platona, - as Ken mentioned check out the newer dial with the blue sub dials & subtle baguettes 👍

It even comes in a sporty black dial which would match your California very nicely.
Does this mean you are passing on the Platona Mike?

Platona I think, love the WG Pepsi but the platona is really special, looks great in pics and even better in real life. A very special watch.


Droooooool

Love this collection!

Having given my personal preference they are both awesome watches and I love them both

But if only one of those two, Platona no brainer!!

And would also consider the WG sub!!

Not at all, just on the BLRO. Hopefully I'll pick up the same Platona Ken is referring to in 2015.

Platinum Daytona certainly. I just spent a week in Costa Rica with a buddy that owns the platona and being up close and personal this past week gave me a new appreciation of this thing.

Personally, I'd go with WG or platinum DD or the WG sub. The BLRO is beautiful, but at that price point, you can pick up a preloved pepsi and have a lot of $ left over to add others to the collection.

I have both. First for me would be the platona. Next the pepsi. Can't go wrong though.

For me GMT looks best in TT, and Platona is the best looking Daytona in the precious metals arena.
