Strangest thing today. I received a call from my AD today. Told me about some big pow wow with Rolex and as a result, the can go to their A+ customers, get a deposit and guarantee the delivery of watch; time length to be determined. The white gold Pepsi with the meteorite dual has long since been my grail. I also get serious wood for the yellow gold Daytona with the green face (the John mayor hyped watch). The economy being what it is, I wanna be as fiscallly concerned as anyone else so I told him that right now, I would go one or the other, but not both. I felt bad karma by going for both right now.

Curious from the gang out there. Would you have chosen white gold Pepsi meteorite GMT or yellow gold, green dial Daytona. Very much want to hear from you and not just your choice, but back it up! Why?

Thanks y-all.

First, great dilemma to have. Secondly, meteorite GMT. It’s going to be made in far less numbers as the dial is not readily available and more difficult to produce. Historically meteorite dials are not made in incredibly high quantities and although the green dial Daytona is amazing, out of the two i say go with the more rare and thus more desirable in the future. With that being said, Your winning either way!

Greentona and add a SS BLRO on jubilee.

OR...

Get both.

sgwatchguy · 20 June 2020, 03:20 PM

A very happy dilemma to have!

My vote would be for the Daytona. The GMT has the rare element to it with the meteorite dial, but the legibility is suspect. That combination of the yellow gold and green dial is an absolute winner!

GsurgBM · 20 June 2020, 03:33 PM

Daytona. Just has better aesthetics.

I admit it is a great dilemma, but I would go for the WG GMT, it will be a far lees produced watch than the Daytona. And, not second, that dial, is amazing!

APPRF · 20 June 2020, 03:36 PM

I'm on the list for both, but I would like to get the Green Daytona first. You have taste

This. I'd get the GMT. Plus, I also feel the YG daytona with green dial is a little tacky (sorry to those who own one).

MRPWRPATX21 · 20 June 2020, 03:48 PM

IMO the green Daytona is a watch you can pick up later/2nd hand compared to the meteorite. I don't even necessarily like the meteorite all that much (hard to read), but damn that's a cool watch and hard to find. See how the hype plays out with the green Daytona...it's a cool watch but is definitely inflated beyond where it would otherwise be for the time being.

42itus · 20 June 2020, 04:31 PM

The Daytona is stunning. I think either will hold it’s value at a similar rate.

I find it so difficult to compare the two besides both being made of gold and having Rolex written on them whilst being marketed a lot.

I prefer white gold to yellow so would be easy for me. One is a chrono. One a GMT, different cases and proportions. Bezel. Anyway I hope it's enjoyed whichever is chosen !!

SearChart · 20 June 2020, 07:17 PM

Meteorite GMT for sure, not even a contest for me.

Giangos · 20 June 2020, 08:31 PM

Meteor dial for me too.

RJRJRJ · 20 June 2020, 08:37 PM

Meteor, no doubt.

TswaneNguni · 20 June 2020, 08:41 PM

Have you seen any of these two choices in the metal ?

GoingPlaces · 20 June 2020, 08:53 PM

I'd go GMT, that meteorite is unique. To wear something that came from such a far place on your wrist is very cool!

Colin W · 20 June 2020, 09:01 PM

Meteorite GMT - it’s the watch I want for sure. I would like a call like that from my AD, just get it and post lots of pics

My name is on the next green Daytona at my AD so I’m a little biased.

bp1000 · 20 June 2020, 09:08 PM

both stunning but Daytona for me

Much prefer the size and proportions. The newer GMT's and even subs are just a bit chunkier and squared off compared to what I like.

glamorama · 20 June 2020, 09:09 PM

The GMT although special is more of an everyday watch compared to the striking yellow and green Daytona imao. So depends..

ap1 · 20 June 2020, 09:13 PM

Gmt but both

MrMercedes · 20 June 2020, 09:14 PM

Pepsi, because the meteorite-dial is such a dream!!! This watch is a stunning pice of perfection!!!

Henrimontgomery · 20 June 2020, 09:30 PM

Depends of the meteor. Each is different so I'd like to see it in person before deciding. Just like wood, some dials are excellent, others are meh. It's a lottery and for the price, I'd rather not play unless I know the outcome.

I hear you but the AD having 2 at same time, not gonna happen

1William · 20 June 2020, 09:39 PM

The GMT hands down.

oconnorandrew64 · 20 June 2020, 09:47 PM

The meteorite just looks classy and special. I would opt for that

I know. But consider the following :

The idea is of course, that each is different. But what if you end up with one you really don't like ?

johnorpheus · 20 June 2020, 10:09 PM

GMT. Comparison threads like this should always have a poll.

Krash · 20 June 2020, 10:34 PM
