Horological Meandering

Looks aside, which one do you prefer? A toss up for me, luckily can enjoy both. Modern movement with bells and whistles, higher tech materials and accurate like an atom clock or old school charm but not as accurate (can be regulated of course) ...

I didn’t find yet my favorite chrono. Maybe I’m not a chrono guy

What’s in the pocket is real. All others are just on paper only 🤪

but pretty sure your dealer at least will take the Daytona...try trading the other way round with the Zenith or JLC and you’ll be treated differently 😊

I have 2 of 3 with the casebacks engraved 🤪

I think looks are important but considering everything, I'd choose the Ed White no questions asked. IMO, it has a lot more charm and that movement (which you can see) is to die for.

So I just suggest comparing data but of course not relevant since all are subjective when comes to charm.

Speedmaster...IMO utterly ageless...a pure timepiece!

Just look at those 6238/6239/6263/6265s and PN, now they are the King 👑

We all have our preferences but coming from someone who has owned them all and worn them all for extended periods of time, I feel the Speedies trump the Daytona in almost every way. Don't even get me started on the 321 movement (Lemania 2310 base) as I am... 

I don't think many can say that so ownership has to count for something, no? We all can and should choose based on our own likes and dislikes BUT one never knows for sure unless you have first hand experience with all these different references. It is lik... 

Overall character...

The only Daytona that seduces me is the intermediate (Zenith) and to me it is a keeper. In terms of reliability, routine service and maintenance both are excellent. For instant trading and cashing in the Rolex is the pass to the moon, tough the higher the... 

I love modern pieces hence and I’m into tributes and new models. Both are keepers in my books and I absolutely appreciate my ADs for allocating them to me. Thanks for the info on the zenith, maybe someday I’ll have more confidence in the vintage or interm... 

Personally I'd take the Omega, because: - 321 movement; - overall quality; - horological heritage; - aesthetics (probably one of the very few who thinks the Daytona is not good looking and not desirable).

one isn’t completely alone 🍻

Omega hit the nail on the head with this new Ed White. Thanks for the input....panda has lots of fans I have to say.

Enjoy both in good health. George

..of Speedmaster 42mm over modern ST Daytona 520s though both are perfectly proportioned. The EW somehow is challenging me with its proportions (case: bracelet width)- The bracelet width seems narrow to me even if its true to its original form. Maybe its ... 

I would easily choose the EW 321 in vintage or re-edition over ANY Daytona, vintage or modern, if we take the monetary aspect out of the equation. I say this as the Daytonas, especially the vintage 4 digit models, sell for multiples more so I would choose... 

One is a large manual wind chronograph (which is a genre in and of itself) and the other is a sleek luxury sports watch.

Therefore a White Daytona and a Black Speedy for me works. Rolex bracelets are better than the standard Moonwatch and I always think Omega look nicer on leather strap but this newer bracelets from the Apollo 11 and the Ed White changes my mind now.
