If only one watch to wear which one?
A white gold Daytona or a white gold BLRO?

BLRO. It has a date and the GMT hand is useful when traveling to other timezones.
That said, my sense is that the chronograph complication, like the Daytona has, is under-utilized. I think its a useful function. I use my chronograph quite often to track time when cooking, and doing laundry. It also useful for those who bill hourly--like attorneys--to keep track of billing when out of the office and away from computerized timekeeping software. |

BLRO as it has a date. I ended up selling my Daytona as I like having the date handy.

GMT II by leaps and bounds. Far more useful functions for all but racing drivers.
I love Daytonas too. |

BLRO, quite simply because of the amazing process that goes into creating a single-piece bezel insert of half red and half blue solid Cerachrom ceramic. Of course if the options were BLRO vs Platona, then I'd have to say Platona ;)

You might get bored of the abundance of color on the pepsi.

Surprisingly I'd pick my omega seamaster. More low key and if I'm asked about it I can say omega instead of Rolex. Especially at my age wearing a Rolex gets some weird looks.

I am not a massive fan of WG or the BLRO but if you like them equally it would be more versatile than the Daytona as it has 2 complications vs 1, and unless you are using lap timing features a lot, a date is an advantage and the dual time zone is very hand if you travel into time zones more than 6 hours apart..... So I would answer the question as BLRO.

BLRO..... Not a fan of either honestly.
I'd wear a SS Daytona over WG. Platinum on the other hand...... |
