As to your question the two tone Daytona does nothing for me, so in that equation I would get the GMT
I would say BLNR, because you have no GMT.
But it seems like the Daytona with the white dial is calling for you.
Congrats on the Polar Explorer II purchase.
I've always liked the look and the versatility of the piece.

Sublovin-

Both are great options. I am lucky to own both and just purchased my 16520 white dial Zenith Daytona back in October (searched and waited a good while to find the right one). I would say Daytona IF the condition is exceptional. These are no longer made and will be harder to find great condition pieces moving forward. Best of luck with decision and post pics when you make the move!
Cheers

I just flipped a Zenith Daytona TT for a BLNR, I want a vintage Rolex but I think it's going to be a Sub or GMT. I'll as a Daytona as well, but it's going to b a newer model

I prefer the BLNR but I have some problems with the new Daytona. I'd need to see the Zenith in person because I think I might like it better than the new one for reasons I won't go into here. I like the PEPSI even better than the BLNR. Have you considered it to fill the GMT hole. I think it will hold its value well and it also looks great with Jubilee bracelet and NATO's (see Dan Pierce photos). Enjoy the Exp II. I think it was a very good choice. Let us know what you decide.
