White Daytona.....Probably harder to get, for me at least, it’s been on my list 3.5 yrs and it’s getting old waiting this long.

Has to come down to these two. Too early for me to decide but I would give the slight edge to my Daytona

Probably the white daytona. Thats a tough call though, and any of them would serve one well as the only one.

GMT all the way for me. Never been a fan of chronographs dials. Can't be busier. I always prefer simple, legible dials. The GMT complication is a very useful one too.

Ofcourse black Daytona! Gmt's case is too thick and the numerals on the bezel are also big.
White is cooler for most people, but I prefer black.

I’ll take the more practical complication and the legible dial for me. Nod goes to the GMT, preferably the BLRO.

From that list, the Pepsi. But if we are talking outside that list, different story...

The jubilee Pepsi is the best watch Rolex makes. DaytonaC is a very nice piece but highly overvalued by recent PN auctions etc. I would say third in line after Pepsi and Hulk.

Now, if I could still own the watches I have, I'd definitely go for the Daytona, probably white dial over black. But since you state that it's my only watch, I will have to go with GMT. GMT is a more useful complication IMO. And I like Pepsi more than the Batman. So Pepsi it is.

The gmt (batman) is by far more legible and functional than the Daytona so it’s not close here. If you are judging on looks, but what you like. But the Batman colors are spot on where still pastel Like in the Pepsi and also appears a bit less flashy.

Tough decision here. Although I love the look of the Daytona, I prefer the functionality of the GMT. I would choose the BLRO just slightly over the BLNR.

I agree with this. BLNR 2.0 GMT seems to be a more constant choicely what to put on my wrist most days. All of these are beautiful and reliable watches but the Jubilee is more comfortable for me as well.

The GMT function is the most useful to me on a daily basis given my travel schedule and doing business in different time zones. Of course, it's a Daytona if I'm at a track or Sub if going to be on and in the ocean.

I have the BLNR
Not really impressed with the BLRO
Prefer the white dial over the black dial for the Daytona

BLRO. Need the complications. Multi time zones and date are a must, for me.

I had the choice between the Batman and Pepsi and it took me three days to decide! It was so close.

I have minimal first hand experience with the Daytona, but they are stunning.

Just on looks I’d pick the white Daytona, but it’s so close. Love all four. Here’s some pics.
