Wow I enjoy articles like this one
will read every word on the boring subway en route to work tomorrow 😅
Daytona is my choice.
When comparing any iteration of Daytona and Speedmaster. However, I would choose speedmaster over many other watches. Happily own 2 steel Daytonas and 3 steel Speedmasters. Maybe I need a gold version of one
When you get to this level $$$$
It’s all about the flex. One may be slightly more advanced in some aspects but if you can acquire the PN you know without hesitation that’s the one
I’d prefer the Daytona by far. However, I must acknowledge that it’s amazing that the design of the Speedmaster has lasted so long. Omega has used and abused that design in so many ways…
…yet the watch remains desirable. Moreover, the hand winding movement would be a deterrent for many people. And that particular bracelet I don’t like at all. The NASA story has most certainly been the basis of the Speedmaster’s success but that could only...
Well its all about the target audience and confirmation bias, isn’t it… 🥳
On Fratello - a site that enjoys a huge Speedy community, the answer is clear… ☺️ But here as well. This site is to a large extent also status driven. So it must be Rolex… 😉 I am a Fratello guy… 🤗
It would be the Daytona for me at retail.
That said greediness would have me sell it for the stupid amount of money they’re going for and buy the Omega and pocket 200k 😂. I really like the moonshine gold Speedy a lot…certainly enough to seriously consider purchasing it.
Visually the speedy
I don’t like PCL on Daytona, the Daytona has too much writing on the dial, I don’t like the gold in the bezel writing, the subdials seems less legible, nor screw down pushers. The brushed gold on the speedy is more my vibe
Daytona…
For the extra effort to make a new movement in this model. Omega is a bit “lazy” in this situation but it is same as Daytona for their precious metal variants. Maybe we are setting too high an expectation?
Compare? What’s to compare here?
Just because Omega(again), copied a successful Rolex reference does it mean that it’s better??? The Rolex is linked to a historical event while Omega is linked to Rolex )) We should rename Omega as a subsidiary of Rolex… What a shame for such historical b...
Sorry you don’t see it.
To long to draw the similarities, instead open both websites simultaneously and see each appropriate reference. There lies your answer!
To me, these two are not really competing with each other: a manual wind horizontal clutch vs. an automatic with a vertical clutch.
I do realize that for someone who is just a normal person (not a watch freak, that is) these would appear as close competitors based on the looks though.
