You could almost buy both ceramic Daytona’s even at the higher price for about the same price as the blro.

I love the Daytona, but between those 2 I would go for the Pepsi.

Buy the BRLO to scratch the itch while you wait for a Daytona.

While not the same dilema, I was debating between a WG Daytona Panda and a BLRO, and went for the BLRO. For me, the BLRO had a more useful function and fit better. Regardless, best of luck in whatever you choose.

I really like the BLRO but I would spend my money on a White Daytona and a steel BLRO and still have some cash left over.

Blro easy. Why go SS when you can go white gold

If you had your pick between the two I would go with the BLRO, it’s incredible...and also very pricey. I can’t speak to which is more comfortable but I’d imagine the Daytona wears smaller and lighter since the BLRO is WG.

BLRO, without a shadow of a doubt.

It would be an easy choice for me; I love the GMT and don't care for the Daytona. That aside, the BLRO is gorgeous and has a very pleasant heft. I wear mine every day.

In theory, yes...but the reality of getting both at retail is pretty slim.

BLRO over the Daytona 500 Black...or 16710 Pepsi and wait for the Daytona 500 Black. Will be less than the BLRO.

I would never pay over retail for an SS daytona but thats just me. It's sad that the daytona C is almost the same price as a PM model. I would personally wait to get a daytona C after the hype dies down a bit. Prices are bound to go back to normal and more will flow in. Out of these two I would definitely get the BLRO though.

I have both and am a real Daytona guy, but the WG PM trumps the SS on look weight and feel, and the BLRO is really a Grail piece so I vote BLRO

I support the idea of the Daytona + 16710. Consider that. Gives you two amazing and collectible pieces with distinct looks and functionality.
