Daytona for me. I already have a BLNR and would prefer a piece I don’t already own over a color variation of something I already have.

Have both of those watches (GMT on jubilee bracelet though) and Daytona gets much more wrist time.

If I have to choose, the black Daytona. I love it.

Daytona for me, but GMT is also amazing.

Pepsi for me because it’s a better all around watch IMHO

between these two, Id say BLRO, I've been wearing my Daytona for the past week after dailying my BLNR, and I catch myself looking down for the date and can't find it lol

if it was a white 116500LN then Id go Daytona simply because of the dial, there's too many black dials

Can't go wrong with either. Both heavy hitters.

As much as I love the Daytona, I would go with the BLRO.

I think the aesthetic of the Daytona may be perfect but it’s just not as functional or legible as the Pepsi and, at least on the jubilee, it’s also far more comfortable

Nice feedback.

My answer is daytona as my tastes are currently shifting away from colored bezels. (Let’s see how long this phase lasts lol)

Dayona for me. I recently purchased a black dial 116500 over a BLRO for the following reasons:
- it is a more interesting design to my eye
- being all black, it flies a bit under the radar
- being all black, it "goes" with everything
- I love me a chronograph
That said, I have to keep my iphone nearby in case I need to know what time it is.

IMHO, the dual time complication is more useful than the chronograph. 126710 gets my vote.

The GMT

You get a date, and can actually time up to sixty minutes with it (not to the second or even exact minute) but very close. And the GMT function is extraordinary on this watch. But I'd get the BLNR...day time in blue and nigh time in black!

Damnit there’s just something about a black dial Daytona. If white dial, I’d vote GMT easily.
