If only I could afford both right now, but I'm sure I'll add which ever one I don't get down the line.

You have to get the watch out of the AD lighting and into natural light to appreciate its beauty

The modern BLRO (at least mine) looks best in natural low light IMHO.

Luckily is spend a lot of time in the car and dimly lit restaurants

I really agree with this specifically to the BLNR. I think the watch looks so much better in natural light vs. jewelry light. I'm sure the BLRO would be similar.

I have the SS Daytona with the white dial and a TT Daytona with a white dial, both earlier references, and the BLNR.

The Daytona was my grail watch, but I find myself not wearing either of them that much. Oddly enough, when I reach for a watch, it's always been for a Sub or the BLNR.

I do want the BLRO but the colors are always off for me. I have a darker skin tone so the BLNR suits me perfectly.

Between the Daytona or BLRO, I would choose the BLRO. The Daytona is a great watch, but I don't use the subdials at all nor the tach scale on the bezel. The GMT function of the BLRO is way more useful and it has a date function where the Daytona doesn't.
