Itch again - BLNR or TT Panda Daytona
Ive got another itch, i have been thinking about a Daytona for some time and i liked the TT Panda dial.
However i keep thinking about the BLNR so off i went today to the local dealer but unfortunately they didn't have either. I know TT is at a disadvantage as it doesn't have as many followers naturally. Just curious what you would pick. I always follow my heart but until i try on another BLNR i can't make up my mind. what would you choose borrowed pic BLNR looks stunning, love the panda even with TT too. But can't help thinking i passed up on the BLNR in the summer in favour of the bluesy. |

Of the two, I'd go with the BLNR. The Daytona dial is stunning, but I'm not a big fan of tt. If it was the BLNR vs. a ss Daytona, then I'd go Daytona.

The panda dial is great but im not a fan of the two tone.
I would go for a SS daytona and save for WG. |

Today I say BLNR, tomorrow I say Daytona. Ultimately both would be great in a collection.

Daytona looks great. If I was buying today, it'd be that.

BLNR all the way. Like many have said, Panda dial is amazing. However, the TT turns me off. Just not something I fancy.
I would get BLNR, then wait for, save for, WG Panda. My $.02. J |

I LOVE the panda dial...but I would go with the BLNR...I get on a kick with TT watches...I LOVE them for a while...and get tired of them...and repeat...
I wear a Stainless YM (blue dial) I added to the collection a couple weeks ago...and am considering picking up a BLNR later this year... Is this gonna be a daily wearer? Honestly, I dont think you can really go 'wrong' with either... |

Try on the TT Gmtc too, might be the best compromise.

GMT for me. Not trying to sound like a broken record, but if it was a ss daytona, it would be a much harder decision for me.
now if it was a vintage daytona, then it would be real easy |

I would go for the gmt in this case. But it depends on what you already have in your collection.

Tough call, both are awesome! Would probably come down to what you are going to need (date and second time zone). If that isn't important, I would go with the Panda.
