Daytona for the win.

Bxtek · Today, 02:03 AM

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

JRell · Today, 02:06 AM

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

jamesgames · Today, 02:33 AM

Daytona all day. I also own gmt and Daytona SS 126 references.

daysky1 · Today, 03:04 AM

GMT of course!

Only ppl who own they will understand what ur saying

ltmgeller · Today, 05:11 AM

Pepsi would be my vote

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.

MY-WATCH · Today, 05:25 AM

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

Agreed

shirtguy · Today, 06:07 AM

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

marmite2005 · Today, 06:10 AM

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

Stan Cooper · Today, 06:13 AM

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.

Kylewilliams441 · Today, 06:13 AM

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.

0nly5iv3Digits · Today, 08:44 AM

126710 BLRO. I have a strong suspicion this generation of Daytona won't age as well as it's predecessors.

I think of heavy hitters as being hard to come by and seldom seen…

Good point. But I would say one thing. The price of entry for these 2 watches is not just the retail price. Most will need to have a six figure spend history to even be considered for one. So in that sense I would definitely consider them heavy hitters as they are mainly saved for the VIP clients. Especially the white Daytona.

Love the Rolex GMT II lineup. Have a bunch. Today I have a 126500 on my wrist. IMHO there is not a more refined/balanced Rolex design than the Daytona. At least on my wrist.

I did sell it but ownership of both watches included in my perspective.

Watchdog · Today, 10:45 AM

Folks who own the Daytona romanticize it. No one wanted one for years. It wears small and is illegible. I was offered either at retail, and I chose the GMT Pepsi on jubilee. The truth was it was a longer wait than a Daytona. The AD received many more Daytonas that year than BLRO. That is still the situation at some ADs.

Ketler · Today, 10:46 AM

The Sea Dweller...Oh wait........

YoyoGift8 · Today, 11:41 AM

I own the BLRO & the black Daytona so I will choose the Daytona. If i did not have them i will still choose the Daytona.

dukie748 · Today, 11:56 AM

Not a fan of chrono's - any chrono's - so the BLRO for me.

Seen many a Daytona in the wild, never spotted a Pepsi.

Vince_76 · Today, 11:57 AM

Daytona

David5807 · Today, 12:14 PM

I have both, and the choice would be the Pepsi every time.
