I have this piece and have known it as the John Player Special, after their Team Lotus livery. Have also heard it called a Paul Newman dial, but not sure if that's an accurate description.

That Daytona as well as the oysterflex version are straight fire! And now with the red accents retired….. it’s a no brainer.

I think the red accents complimenting the gold is stunning. I love both watches but I think I would have to take the Daytona this time!

That Daytona is nice but in this case I would choose the GMT. Better legibility, for me.

Green dial GMT. How many green dial GMT’s have been made over the years? Twenty years from now, what is more rare?

I’m not a fan of chronographs but the Daytona is much nicer.
