GMT-master ii BLNR or Daytona TT Blue Panda dial?

Hi everyone,

Will keep this simple!

Was previously looking at the GMT BLNR SS or the SS Submariner (maybe even TT).

Anyhow, what would you prefer....

The GMT-master ii BLNR or the TT Daytona with the blue Arabic dial?

I woulda liked a white dial with the numbers on the Daytona but that's not available on the new watches.

What do you think I should get and why?

(Note: GMT: I like the Date function, don't really need the dual time zones. Daytona: would never use the chronograph)

Thanks everyone!

Update: Meant the blue arabic dial (with the numbers) not panda!

x2.

If talking about the blue arabic dial, that is pretty sweet. But, just about anything TT is going to get thumped by anything SS on this forum. And, this forum is crazy about the BLNR, so...

Maybe a fairer comparison would be the TT bluesy vs. the TT Daytona.

Not the BLNR. Every second thread on here is another incoming BLNR. It should have its own sub forum.

Having had both. Mine was the TT White Dial Panda, I'd go for the BLNR. It's a real winner.

BLNR, I feel you are already leaning towards that choice as well with the date function being important. Both are nice pieces.

BLNR, if it is your one and only.

If you have other SS watches, the TT with Blue arabics would be an awesome addition.

It's really a question of TT or not - I personally like the TT Daytona and have owned one before. If TT were the question, Daytona TT would be the only TT I would own ( or maybe a Bluesy...) :) Good luck!

This is a tough one.....I think as the only watch I'd steer toward the BLNR but that Daytona with the blue dial is beautiful as well....just not as functional with the date/complication BLNR got going.
