GMT
It’s a complication I use and appreciate far more than a chronograph. Plus for me personally, a Speedy somewhat fill the space left in the absence of the Daytona. Nothing can place of a GMT Master II. I’d kill for either though. As much as I love my BLNR, I think I would prefer the BLRO on Jubilee. |

It’s crazy how the 11 series white looks the best and the 12 series black is superior. I’m biased though and will say the 12 series black is one of the best Daytonas in decades, my opinion.

I own both GMTs on Jubilee and both Black and white Daytonas and the order of my preference is BLNR, Black Daytona, BLRO, White Daytona.
I enjoy them all and often play the mental game of ‘if I could only keep one’…it would be the BLNR/Jubilee. |

GMT for me… it’s easier to read, has a date, and the GMT function is more useful to me than the chronograph function. Both are fantastic watches, but for me it would be a pretty simple decision in this case.

Daytona without a doubt. Since being a boy this reference has been my Rolex favorite and the ensuing years haven’t changed that sentiment.

I have both (BLNR nor BLRO) and each has a prominent place on the wrist depending on the day
I travel a lot, so if I had to choose I’d say GMT |

GMT. The BLRO on Jubilee is the winner for me out of all SS models.
It’s a beauty and extremely comfortable. |

The jump hour on the GMT seals the deal for me. If the Daytona had that feature, I’d abandon my GMT’s.

I don't like the data function on the GMT so for me it would be the Daytona. I'd take the Sky Dweller over both.

What year is your Pepsi? Looks like a mk1. The Pepsi doesn’t photograph as well as it looks in person. It always looks pink/ purple to me. In person it’s dark blue and red. Reminds me of the Bakelite versions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mine is a 2021 model so it's a MK2 I believe. The MK1's were deffo more faded then this.

Good question, OP. Amazing how many days I stare at both and have to decide. I think for most regular work days and definitely when traveling, I reach for the GMT (BLNR on Jubilee or Pepsi on Oyster. I think for weekends and when going out I reach (way) more for the Daytona (black 12 series). For years I wanted the white ceramic, but the black is so much more versatile in its ability to wear casual or dressy than the white. (And especially since adding the new white Speedy, the yen for a white Daytona is just about gone (at least for today- lol)).

Also, not the same watch style, but a lot of guys cross shop the…..the (grey) delta between white Royal Oaks and white Daytonas is now less than 20%. Would much rather have the RO. I may sound crazy but I actually wouldn’t be surprised if in years to come, the black and white inverse grey values for the 126500.

Oh ok. I forgot when they added the anti reflective coating on the inside of their watches. I think it makes a huge difference, especially on the black dials. Maybe it was mid 2022 |

Overall daily functionality, GMT for me. I've never used the sub dials on my Daytonas. Every once in a while I'd run the chrono just for giggles but never for what they're actually used for.
Although I would love to add a ceramic Daytona one day, I would request a Pepsi over a Daytona at my AD.
