Both stunning watches in person. Literally, jaw dropping.

And, as you can see, everybody here as their own opinion.

So...I would suggest you go back and re-evaluate your "need" and think about what it is you want out of your next watch.

DoctorA · 19 August 2018, 08:22 AM

Imho Daytona is still the way to go!

psv · 19 August 2018, 08:33 AM

I have the Daytona, and the TT GTM CHNR. I would pick a BLRO over either, but I would like to have an Oyster bracelet on it instead of jubilee.

SLS · 19 August 2018, 08:33 AM

I have not seen either in person. Not a fan of the bezel on the BLRO and I have a 116520 and I find it difficult to tell the time as my eye sight is getting worse. I would choose the Daytona

uniqueMR · 19 August 2018, 08:44 AM

Its easy, DAYTONA

DaytonaC anytime anyday for me

siempreko · 19 August 2018, 12:07 PM

Yes

Hard_Six · 19 August 2018, 12:10 PM

Daytona for sure!

CRM114 · 19 August 2018, 01:24 PM

BLRO for sure, hands down.

Daytonas do nothing overly-special for me. I got rid of a 116520 and have a 116509 I rarely wear. The 116500 doesn't get my heart racing either and know it would, like my other Daytonas, play a distant, second-fiddle to my Speedys when it comes to having a chrono-wearing day.

Texasjim · 19 August 2018, 01:29 PM

BLRO...would use the GMT function. I never use the Chrono function on the Daytona. Though, the Daytona is a epic Rolex regardless of how it’s used.

No SUBctitute · 19 August 2018, 01:37 PM

SS BLRO. I will need the date and two time zones more than a stop watch.

BLRO is a beautiful watch but can’t pull off the more formal situations the same way the Daytona can.

Robbyman · 19 August 2018, 06:13 PM

I have both so feel well qualified.

For me the Pepsi just takes it but I change my mind constantly on this.

The Daytona wears so well and it more comfortable and slightly smaller which I prefer. However I prefer three hands, the bezel colour and ‘diver style’ of the GMT.

I can easily understand why others think differently though and prefer the Daytona .

Robbyman · 19 August 2018, 06:15 PM

On Oyster...

Kigan · 19 August 2018, 06:32 PM

jezza17 · 19 August 2018, 06:34 PM

BLRO no contest for me.

ssetem · 19 August 2018, 07:07 PM

i have both, easy blro if one watch

Rolex.c6 · 19 August 2018, 07:35 PM

Wow so much love for the Daytona C.
For me it's the BLRO for sure. Not so much a Daytona lover myself, though if I had to wear one it would be the Daytona C black dial.

GSBC · 19 August 2018, 08:38 PM

I have both. Not even close...the Daytona white dial for me.
I love the BLRO, but it’s no Daytona.

runner9 · 19 August 2018, 08:46 PM

Daytona for sure

Vivalas · 19 August 2018, 08:55 PM

I’m fortunate enough to now have both and I’d have always said the Daytona for definite before. Only had the Pepsi for 5 days and loving it, though I think long term the Daytona will just slightly edge it.

Great problem to have though

travisb · 19 August 2018, 09:42 PM

BLRO. Love the bezel colors and functionality.

1William · 19 August 2018, 09:42 PM

Daytona.

unknown · 19 August 2018, 09:52 PM

One the black and white daytona and the BLRO

I would say the white Daytona

And to be honest I wear the Tudor GMT more often than the 3 Rolexes. But I do love the BLRO too

Rashid.bk · 19 August 2018, 10:02 PM

I think I like the Daytona more and my use is more formal so I prefer the black 116500, but seeing the votes come in I guess what I'm missing is a first hand experience with the BLRO and Daytona. Seems side by side the BLRO is quite the stunner.

ap1 · 19 August 2018, 10:05 PM

D5, the people have spoken and I agree

JohnGT3RS · 19 August 2018, 10:11 PM

Daytona.

brandrea · 19 August 2018, 10:11 PM

Between those two BLRO here

If any SS Professional is thrown into the mix, I'd vote for a diver
