Omega

Daytona shortcoming in my mind

 

Yeah I just don't love the Daytona, its funny the Speedy is the only time Id pick an Omega over it's Rolex counterpart.
I just find it silly that in the chrono minute ring it does not have marks for 4 minute there is the # and then three hash marks and then the next #. There should be 4 hash marks
It just throws off the balance for me and seems silly as it's not as quick to read and you'd think quickly being able to read the dial would be important with a chrono.
I also find the 3861 unbelievably comfortable on my wrist, the movement is very nice to look at (the Daytona not so much but that's why they don't do a display back as autos aren't as sexy).
I am about to buy a Patek 5172 and picked it over the A Lange even though the ALS finishing is above Patek I do not care for the pulsations ring, I must rather a tachymeter bezel.

That's the only Speedmaster I would go for: the shape and design of the moon watch, the modernity with the coaxial movement, and the see-through cashback to enjoy the heart of the watch! One day i'll get one! Best, E.
