Wow That's a hard choice two fantastic pieces but I would lean toward the Daytona

beshannon · 20 September 2017, 09:08 PM

Two different watches, you should get the one you like and want the most

Wildy · 20 September 2017, 09:16 PM

If it's a keeper the GMT. If it's a possibility that in the future you may trade it then the Daytona.

rmlovett1 · 20 September 2017, 09:19 PM

If you already have WG or PM in your collection, I'd go Daytona. If not....go for the PM piece....they're outstanding!

viper · 20 September 2017, 09:42 PM

Black dial Daytona!!

NSmalls · 20 September 2017, 09:50 PM

Blro

RFIgroup · 20 September 2017, 09:55 PM

Daytona ...

gwalker · 21 September 2017, 12:16 AM

BLRO hands down. Love the look of a Daytona but I prefer a date and imho the GMT is the best looking Rolex along with the YG Blue Sub.

The BLRO is my pick ....

BLRO all day. Not even close.

Hey Richie...which one you getting?

I agree with the other member who said get the Daytona and a SS Pepsi.

The new BLRO is an amazing watch but I'm digging the bezel color as much as the 16710.

heng51 · 21 September 2017, 03:08 AM

Wait a few months for the Daytona for sure.

AK797 · 21 September 2017, 03:12 AM

BLRO for sure, a really silly situation that these two are price comparable now.

It depends... What watches do you already own and at what price are you getting the SS Daytona and BLRO? Do you like SS watches or precious metal?

The Daytona is slimmer than a GMT and more comfortable on the wrist. A precious metal Rolex is always going to be available, usually with some discount. A SS Daytona at list price is going to be hard to get and/or usually require a long wait.

I would get the SS Daytona at list price and then later get the BLRO if your heart still longs for that watch.

BLRO is so classic and beautiful and visually it is a Rolex a mile away, for all the right reasons. The other one is a nice watch.

BLRO for me if I had the funds. I do not.

So, SOL is actually for me.

My thoughts as well.

WEST HAM ROLEX · 21 September 2017, 04:48 AM

Personally I prefer the BLRO,,as just love all GMT

Also in the UK..
Just been through Heathrow T2 twice this month and they had the BLRO

Daytona...no chance in London anywhere

CRM114 · 21 September 2017, 04:55 AM

The BLRO.

Unless you're getting the Daytona at MSRP/list price. Then get the Daytona first, immediately sell it unworn for the ridiculous street price, then take that Daytona money plus profit and put it all towards the BLRO.

travisb · 21 September 2017, 05:38 AM

Love the 116500 but this is my pick without question.

For overall comfort/style I LOVE my Daytona. For form AND function I would pick a GMT as a one and only. As others have mentioned, maybe source an older GMT and then you'll still be ready for the Daytona when it becomes available for you.

OR just be a super boss, buy the BLRO now and then add the Daytona when it's available.

montecarlo77 · 21 September 2017, 08:08 AM

Wow, so many great replies in favor of both watches!! Thanks to all, I am not sure my choice is any easier now:)

Want_bourbon · 21 September 2017, 09:56 AM

I'd go with the Daytona, but buy a steel BLRO to cure the craving.

jonnyz1245 · 21 September 2017, 09:57 AM

BLRO! So very nice

KenU · 21 September 2017, 10:01 AM

Daytona

busytimmy · 21 September 2017, 10:08 AM

Blro, or better yet, smurf

thedak · 21 September 2017, 10:15 AM

Blro

JohnAcosta · 21 September 2017, 10:20 AM

Are you able to try them on now? Maybe not a 116500 but maybe an older model so you get the feel of a Daytona? I lusted after Daytonas for a very long time until I tried one on. For me, the dial isn't very legible and it wears smaller than you'd imagine. Very disappointing day for me.

For these reasons, if it were up to me, I would choose the 116719.
