Exactly this

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 have the panda and the pepsi

For a 1 and only a pepsi by far

If you have a sub then go for the daytona

Anything but a sub, then the gmt

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.

Love both of mine. Really depends on mood. I would say the Daytona just feels more special on but the Pepsi is useful in almost every single way. But sometimes the coloured bezels just clash a bit with clothing.

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.

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