"However, the black face Daytona is BEAUTIFUL to look at! When I pick it up I just can't stop staring at its beauty."

You answered your own question.

Gmt.

I'm not a chrono watch fan, so i go for BLNR.

investor6161 · 8 December 2013, 09:35 PM

Both are beautiful, but I think the Blnr is more useful to you as you travel a lot. Daytona is nice but how often you'll use the chronograph? I have a chrono watch but seldom use it's function. Gmt2c Blnr gets my vote.

BLNR...I had the black dial Daytona for 2 years and recently flipped it for the BLNR as I was never in love the lack of lume on the Daytona and am anticipating a new SS model in the next couple of years.

IMHO, if you like the current Daytonas I would suggest going back to the 16520 and having a Zenith on the wrist = money in the bank for sure!

Thank you all for your comments! I'm going to the AD tomorrow.. lets see what I come out with!

That black daytona is a beauty. Hope it helps.

Token74 · 9 December 2013, 02:48 AM

Daytona

polarinda · 9 December 2013, 02:48 AM

I'd rather buy a beautiful watch i'd look at very often over a more funtional watch of which functions i rarely use.

I agree. Let's be fair. All these "functions" are "wants". At the end a 10 $ fossil can do the same function trick. Rolex is jewelry and looks are a must in that category. IMO

Good luck, if the size of the Daytona is right for you I imagine that will steal your heart.

scheneider · 9 December 2013, 04:16 AM

Blnr

The Daytona had charmed you because of its beauty NOT its function. You should buy the one you can't stop looking at.

I'm with Judy....but then again, I'm very partial to Daytonas

Flyfisher · 9 December 2013, 11:54 AM

I do not care for the Daytona, but love the BLNR.

Hairdude1 · 9 December 2013, 01:22 PM

BLNR gets my vote

Narbeh · 4 March 2016, 05:21 AM

i am debating this myself. Leaning towards a black dial daytona. but for the money, BLNR can't go wrong. good luck.

LVSubmariner · 4 March 2016, 05:48 AM

Do yourself a favor....Daytona

fixinbones · 4 March 2016, 02:03 PM

If you've never owned a Daytona you need one before the BLNR.

Rolexing24_7 · 4 March 2016, 02:13 PM

blnr if you travel a lot

+1....

amg master · 4 March 2016, 02:34 PM

I had the same options. Went with BLNR, as it comes in handy when travelling. I plan to add a daytona to my collection in the future!

Seaswirl · 4 March 2016, 02:40 PM

Unless one is traveling a lot and with large swings in time zones, I think the utility of a GMT function tends to get overstated. I travel a lot for work, but never struggle adding or subtracting 5-7 hours from local time. Get the watch that appeals to you more whether that be the BLNR or Daytona.
