Man, that is a tough choice.... I'd have to try both on and go with what felt right. But both are amazing pieces! If it were me, I'd consider the 36mm DD with the black MOP and diamond hour markers.

Daytona for me, I prefer chrono to day and no date to date.

That DDII has some serious wrist presence, and in a certain way getting the DDII in Rose or yellow good and a Steel Daytona will give you two of the most classic Rolex variants. They would make a very good pair and be quite versatile.

I actually have a 36mm President and am deciding on either a SS Daytona or a GMT II, probably the BLNR, so I think we think similarly.

DD2 RG Ivory. No question. The wrist presence with a DD2 is amazing
