Poll: Pepsi vs Panda Daytona

If you could choose or only own one, which would it be?

In terms of what find more aesthetically nicer to you, not what is harder to obtain in the market or regarding resale value!

Daytona but black dial. Followed by Pepsi then Panda Daytona. That would be my personal order of preference.

Daytona over BLRO

Ultimately, I decided I needed both...

Don’t be naive they are just not in the same level. Not comparable at all. A normal customer can get a BLOR but only big spenders get panda. You poll is meaningless

But in the OP it says to disregard that sort of thing - just which is preferred


In any case, I still say stainless ceramic white dial Daytona over stainless Pepsi ... but definitely love both

I don't understand why you're so hostile. It's a question of what one prefers as far as aesthetics go. Your response is literally dictated by hype and games, something I quite literally said to avoid. Relax a bit yeah?

The Pepsi by a million. It’s WAY more practical. It’s got style and is only marginally less sought. The GMT function is way more practical and probably used a whole more by folks like us than a tach.

I love a mechanical chrono as much as anyone. Including the Daytona, but I think the hype for it nothing more just that, hype. I’ve started to become partial to the Speedy over the Daytona. It in imho no other GMT rivals the Pepsi! It’s classic AND modern at the same time. So perfect, theyve barely changed it!

Both are great and super sharp, but the Daytona is easier to wear because of its colors. Red/Blue does not go with everything. Of course, having both, is a win-win.

Poll: Pepsi vs Panda Daytona

Voted White DaytonaC But I too ended up with both. I say get whatever one you can and then try to get the one you don't have.

Daytona, easily for me. I never was a Daytona fan until that version came along.

I just don’t care for the ceramic GMT’s. The 16710 was the high water mark in the evolution of the GMT Master line.

Have both and prefer the BLRO aesthetics. There is no lighting condition that isn't beautiful. It is always easy to read and bracelet is just a bit more comfortable even though the watch head isn't as svelte as the Daytona. I like it so much, well...

Love them both, but if I could only keep one, it would be the Daytona.

He told me to not be naive and called the poll meaningless. There's clearly hostile tones to that. I don't know what to tell you of you can't see that.

Are you in elementary or middle school? Hostile? You have no clue what hostile is. If you think that’s hostile you love a very sheltered life. No mas fella

Sounds like you had a very rough child hood. Try speaking to a therapist to loosen up some.
