Larry, I just posted these earlier on another thread, but in case you need a little nudge

1000% the GMT. There's nothing quite like the heft of a PM piece on a bracelet.

Voted for the Daytona. I don’t like meteorite dials at all.

Don't love the rubber bracelet but it does make what is supposed to be a racing watch look sporty.

Hate the meteorite dial.

So...Daytona

I’ll cheat and say GMT blue dial
Brian, how upset are you going to be when you find out the biggest release of 2021 is the Oysterflex DD40 (with ceramic fluted bezel)

Richard, did you disclose your preference? Apologies if I've missed it but I'd like to know your views on them.

I have the Daytona But I’m not wearing it very often. I was offered this GMT before and I picked the blue one in the past. But it’s been on my mind ever since and it has grown on me over time. I also realize it is a rare bird.

GMT no doubt. After having the Oysterflex for a while, no doubt that the bracelet is the better option for the long run. And that dial is special, just love how it is unique on every piece!

Gmt sorry but if you haven’t seen one in person the meteorite dial is absolutely crazy. Best dial from Rolex by so so far.

I like how the PN dial OF Daytona looks. But it has no contest with meteorite Pepsi.

Blue GMT is a beauty Richard! You are then considering replacing the blue GMT with the meteorite version?
