I already have a GMT so I feel like having two would be redundant, so I'd go for Daytona. If I didn't have a GMT, BLRO.

Daytona 116500 (white dial).

I am okay with it being my ONLY watch.

BLRO for sure!

Looks bigger on my wrist, more legible, GMT more useful to me (especially when travelling), prefer Jubilee to PCL Oyster etc etc

Pepsi. I don't like the legibility of the Daytona. And prefer the more colorful display

I have a Daytona and a BLNR. If I had to keep only one, it would be the Daytona. Same result if I had the BLRO. The Daytona has that something special going for it

Looks like Daytona is killing this by a long shot.

I sold my 116500 but still have the BLRO...but, that’s only because I have the 116519.

If I could literally only have one watch, nothing beats the 116500.

BLRO. Every. Single. Time.
In SS or PM, GMT wins.

Really close call. I say BLRO. I like the colour, comfort and the GMT/Date function which are a lot more useful for me than a chronograph.

I went for the 116519LN and I think this is one of the best Rolex pairs there is for my lifestyle and needs.

You can only have one: Pepsi GMT vs DayC



Took out all my GMT’s and Daytona’s and gave it a good thought.

Answer is: Daytona

The GMT is not as comfortable a watch for daily use compared to the Daytona.

My favourite of the lot above is by far the TT Daytona with black MOP dial.

Why Daytona?

Less legible
No date function
No second or third time zone

I really don’t understand this response.

Tough choice...my 2 favorite modern Rolex references.

Would have been useful to add a poll to this thread.
