I have a small collection of watches but “need” to add a Rolex. I am down to the DaytonaC or SS BLRO. Which would you pick (assuming you could get either at retail with no wait)?

I’m not a fan of the Daytona C—I prefer the prior iteration—so the choice is a simple one for me

tyler1980 · 19 August 2018, 04:32 AM

Blro

AJMarcus · 19 August 2018, 04:41 AM

I have both. Hands down BLRO! Since picking up the BLRO from my AD two months ago the Daytona C is in the safe.

As much as I still want a Daytona, I voted BLRO. The GMT movement is much more practical as a one-and-only watch in my view.

HL65 · 19 August 2018, 04:45 AM

I have both Daytona’s and new BLRO and would take BLRO over both Daytona’s for sure.

bp1000 · 19 August 2018, 04:46 AM

Daytona

I like the BLRO but i dont think i will ever buy one. Prefer the previous GMTs for sizing and look. Also prefer the tudor GMT which i appreciate isn't exactly svelte.

That said, i would probably pick the daytona as an only watch. Its perfectly sized for all types of wear. Can dress up and down, go under the cuff, is protected from water by more than just seals and has the useful chrono complication.

torrente · 19 August 2018, 04:58 AM

I do have a DaytonaC but not a BLRO, on that specific dilema I would chose the BLRO.
With my current collection that apart of the DaytonaC, it includes a DJ36 and Exp, I chose DaytonaC.

Daytona

GB-man · 19 August 2018, 05:02 AM

Daytona for me but both are tops in my book for SS Rolex currently in production.

I’d prolly say for me 116500 black > 126710 > 116500 white.

sensui · 19 August 2018, 05:29 AM

Daytona any day...older blro references would be a closer fight....not even close on the new ceramic gmt.

BLRO for looks and more useful complication for my lifestyle.

D500, and LVc are my two.

Daytona for me. Both great watches though.

wow alot of Daytona favor here.

I find the Daytona styling to be amazing but short of functionality to the GMT

the GMT for function over Daytona any day

Bxtek · 19 August 2018, 06:44 AM

This would be a VERY tough choice for me as the Daytona has always been one of my favorites, and so has the GMT. For me, I could probably toss a coin and be just as happy with either. If I really had to hand pick though, I think I would go for the BLRO. The aggressive look of the Jubilee bracelet has always appealed to me more than the Oyster.

Roger Lococco · 19 August 2018, 06:57 AM

Tough choice. I love them both. I’d pick the Daytona.

No contest. GMT.

nyc2la · 19 August 2018, 07:37 AM

BLRO for sure

mps354 · 19 August 2018, 07:40 AM

I prefer the Daytona

UnicoJG · 19 August 2018, 07:43 AM

I would pick the SS BLRO, I appreciate the aesthetics of the Daytona but no date is a deal breaker for me.

fdm79 · 19 August 2018, 07:44 AM

Blro

TeddyS · 19 August 2018, 07:48 AM

BLRO does nothing for me at all. Maybe when I see one in person it will change my mind but for now I say 100% Daytona

I voted for Daytona, but I do not think I'm sure. Such a difficult choice, both are fantastic watches.
