In almost full agreement here.
Can't say I ever liked the Yachtmaster II.
The New Daytona is probably a very nice watch, but its color pattern makes it very difficult to wear and coordinate with. I can only hope the ceramic bezel makes its way to other Daytona models, I guess we have that to look for in the future.
The Explorer II is the winner this year. I think this will be the most well-liked piece out of the entire line-up.
