Both... the Pepsi as the daily... and the Daytona for special nights. Those are my favorite two watches, especially the 126 Black Dial. :)

Fortunately for me, I just need to open my safe to decide between the two.
But personally, I prefer the Pepsi over the Daytona.

BLRO isn't my favorite color combination. For that, I'd go Daytona.
Now, if you were to put a Black Dial Daytona next to a GRNR ... I'd be singing a different tune.

I prefer the GMT but would go for a BLNR over the Pepsi. That said I’d happily enjoy the Daytona 😉

Both. Always both.
Gun to my head, I would be GMT. For the love of God - stickers off! |

Have a TT GMT & in q for a SS Daytona, so like many, my answer is both. If i have to choose, then as a frequent traveller, will lean towards the GMT.

between the two shown prefer the GMT, the pop of colour makes it more visually appealing to me. But would not complain about owning either!

GMT for its practicality and looks.
Daytona is a bit of a niche and never cared for it but the latest 12 series is really very nice.

Well if you are really interested in using the watch to tell the time, I would have to go with the GMT over the Daytona. What time is it anyway on that Daytona?

GMT, especially a BLNR or BLRO.
I sold my Daytona, with my older eyesight found it hard to read and on my large wrist, it always wore a little small. |

Daytona. Not a fan of the blue-ish purple and red-ish purple bezel on the BLRO.

Daytona. I think it’s the logical answer. If you can get one. Wouldn’t pay grey market prices. I have two gmt. LN and BLNR. I’d take a Daytona. Unlike most I prefer the black dial. I do like the new two tone GMT however.

Daytona.
Prefer the older GMT's (5 digit and before), Patek Travel Time or World Time over the newer GMT's. Not many if any modern chronographs that can challenge a Daytona. |

Daytona
SkyD over GMT, but I know I’m in the minority with that statement.

I have a Jubilee BLRO and a black dial 116500. Either could be a sole daily watch but the GMT probably covers more bases.
When I was working in an office I rotated my watches daily. Now retired my OPs get the most wear, GMT at least some use weekly, the Daytona isn’t going anywhere but it’s become more of a special occasion watch. |
