VERY tough decision, but to buy and KEEP......It would be the Pepsi for me without hesitation. Gotta be on Jubilee.

Daytona all day long. I could have got a Pepsi, Daytona is extremely hard for me to get.

And to be fair, I also own both the watches in question. I love em both but it’s all about keeping the catalog in its proper perspective.

Love both and wish not to have to choose between them
GMT better function/ usefulness and better legibility
Daytona is in a diffrent category/class & more aesthetically appealing & more comfort


SS GMT variations
BLRO (oyster / jubilee)
BLNR (oyster / jubilee)
GRNR (oyster / jubilee)
LN (Discontinued)
Coke (My be re introduced)

SS Daytona variations are far less
Black
White

I have both

Pepsi for the win

The daytona would have to be the 116500 for it to be a question

The 126500 looks naked to me

The GMT, my old eyes wouldn't be able to read the time on the Daytona

BLRO on Oyster. For me it's a no brainer as I use the GMT function all the time for flight planning and logging ham radio transmissions.

Vote for the GMT. Screw down pushers have always been a thorn in my side. Congrats on owning both!

Have owned both. And also the Daytona in WG. The chrono for me was too cumbersome and hard to read. I use a chrono function often.
