It's been a good year for business and I'm considering a new piece to celebrate a few milestones.

I'm considering the blue dial Daytona 116509 and the blue dial GMTII 126719. Both speak to me, so I really don't have a preference - hence why I'm coming back to well for everyone's views.

If given the choice, which are you picking and why? Thoughts on how either would wear on a ~6.75" (relatively flat) wrist?

As always, appreciate the feedback and welcome pictures!

I really like/want the blue dial Daytona and was on the list…alas it’s discontinued so have to look grey.

I love my GMT, but for a smaller wrist I think the Daytona is a better fit.

The blue dial is my favorite WG GMT, but I’ve loved the blue Daytona since its release.

For your size wrist, I suspect the Daytona, but as i suspect you would expect you would need to go grey for either take your time and try on maybe.

Both are great pieces - I’m leaning toward the Daytona, as you can get a similar SS BLRO black dial at least.

My other suggestion would be a 116619LB? The blue dial and bezel are amazing! Plus they’re a good price.

Daytona is class in blue dial

Daytona

I’d get 126509 bright black. When I owned Mayer blue found it kind of underwhelming

jb335 · Today, 08:46 AM

Daytona for sure. Especially with a sub 7 inch wrist. As someone that has a very similar size and shape wrist and has owned both watches, I am very confident the Daytona will be more comfortable on your wrist than a WG GMT.

I like both watches, but I like the Daytona measurably more.

From this pair I would go with the GMT. I haven’t ever been fond of the blue dial Daytona it seems to be devoid of heritage. It just seems quirky.

I like the GMT. I just never really cared much for the blue dial Daytona. The GMT looks great however IMO

Love a Blue dial Daytona… But this is the least favorite if I were to list them in order. So in this case, I would go GMT, as I love the blue dial WG GMT

If you would, please say more about that. Asking as I see both the GMT and Daytona models each rich with heritage, but neither of these blue dials “the one” that makes the heritage, if that makes sense.
