Cool idea for a poll.

doc.kool · 22 March 2016, 06:44 AM

not really a fair comparison given the MSRP difference. You could probably buy a black dial and white dial Daytona-C for the price of the BLRO!

You could but this is a fantasy poll where both are SS models.

Daytona-C doing very well so far, thought it would be closer.

DJ TT 2002 · 22 March 2016, 07:11 AM

I voted Daytona and surprised myself.
I wasn't a huge fan before but the DC really caught my fancy!!

The SS bezel Daytona ain't to shabby, neither.

jfmiii · 22 March 2016, 07:15 AM

i would take a SS PepsiC over the Daytona. I assume you didnt mean that. That being said, DaytonaC>BLRO.

I think that's exactly what he meant...

I did too.

I voted for the BLRO because I have a SS daytona, Platona, and only the regular GMTc. I like having variety and color.

pumped · 22 March 2016, 11:57 AM

Daytona

nick c · 22 March 2016, 01:00 PM

Daytona baby

ltmgeller · 22 March 2016, 01:04 PM

Ss Pepsi for me. Possibly WG model as well but it'd be nice to have a ceramic Pepsi.

AK797 · 6 July 2016, 10:59 PM

Lets bump this and see if there is any change now the Daytona 500 is out.

BigAl72 · 6 July 2016, 11:17 PM

SS Pepsi.

I like it...you are a driver of change!

If the BLRO came in SS, I'd have owned it upon release and paid list price without much argument.

Against the new Daytona? Tough one...I do love the 116500 in black but a big fan of the GMTs...only reason I don't have a BLRO is cost in gold...I am going to go with "cross that bridge if I ever get there."

How's that for a non-answer? Maybe I should be a politician

Daytona because has the better looking lug pillars; dislike modern maxi case style!

Brexit politics has gone medieval round here.

SS BLRO if/when

Love my blnr the way it is. I am lacking a Daytona, so that one of course.

Vipes · 7 July 2016, 06:10 AM

I voted Daytona-C. I like the bezel color of the BLNR better than the BLRO.

PrinceT · 7 July 2016, 06:12 AM

I agree with you Brian. I wonder why Rolex was not able to make the Blue and Red of the BLRO as bright as the original Pepsi. They were able to make a bright Blue colour on the BLNR, which I prefer. Why did Rolex make different shades of Blue for the BLRO and BLNR?

Racerdj · 7 July 2016, 07:39 AM

Thanks for the bump. I missed this the first time around.

jfmiii · 7 July 2016, 08:26 AM

Pepsi

Because the BLNR was made by first making a blue bezel and then filling half in with black, whereas this could not be done on a two primary colour bezel so there was a bit of colour bleeding. A CokeC will also have a crisp red like the BLNR's blue using the same process.
