With these questions it's always..
.. comparing a brand such as JLC with Rolex. I find this somewhat strange because IMO there are huge differences between the two brands. Just look at the MCC and the Daytona they are both watches, with both in house movements with a chrono complication. For me this is all they have in common. So in this comparison just choose what you like most. I cannot imagine that you don't have a favorite. And don't be influenced by those who dislike Rolex and therefor refuse to go for this brand. I think the Daytona is especially in SS with both white and black dial quite an understated watch, much more than the shiny JLC.
And for me I like both watches. I'd choose the Daytona for a real sturdy and reliable sports watch and the JLC for the more fashion reasons. I hope I never buy a watch just because it is JLC or Rolex or whatever. But then again you never know what these marketing stuff does to your mind. All just my opinion of course and no offence to anyone.
Best,

If you want to go to the most famous Chrono, you will go on the Daytona. If you want to play a more original card, you will go on the JLC. Mechanically speaking, both are interesting. Aesthetically speaking, it is very subjective, as will all depend on yo...

I agree with the previous reply, all down to you as you're the one who will enjoy it. I've recently got the SS Daytona, white dial. For me, it was just perfect, size, weight, prestige, and the way people recognize it. My wrist is quite small and I've expe...

Hi Gelfand, As a current owner of the JLC I would say I am biased, but when I was looking for a modern chrono, as you are now, I thought about the Daytona as well. When I finally chose, I picked the JLC due to it's more unique look, the fact that it had a...

The JLC is actually easier to get hold of if you are purchasing brand new and tends to be cheaper than the Rolex in the after market. This may also be a consideration for you. I have to say, I would personally go for the JLC, mainly because of it's origin...

...for practical reasons. I owned a SS Daytona for nine years and enjoyed it for the first three or four - until I needed reading glasses. I had the black dial and it became almost impossible to tell the time without first putting on my glasses. I recentl...

I owned a 16520 white dial, and honestly it did nothing for me. It's a such plain chronograph watch that you will get bored of. JLC has a more appearling dial and I'm sure it will keep you smile for a long time. I just tried on the new Navy Seals Chrono t...
