Battle of the yellow gold Titans. Which one do you choose and why ?

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-09:29

A fellow WPS purist asked me how the Speedmaster Moonshine stacks up to a comparable Daytona in color, quality, extra so I decided to take some photos and let others decides for themselves... I posted this in the Omega forum but wanted to be fair which is...

You put this very difficult for me dear Justin. I´m a big fan of both brands and I own both watches. The gold green dial Daytona is a very beautiful timepiece. By the other hand...

Battle of the yellow gold Titans. Which one do you choose and why ?

Totally agree...

+1, agreed 😉. 1 - 0 for the Moonshine 👍

you made this very difficult using the daytona with the green dial which is the only daytona i like/would consider

I figured to make it fair I would have to include the JM green dial Daytona 😉. Thanks for your input. 2 - 0 Moonshine 👍

Not even close (as if there was any question😂)

Well Yokozuna is definitely cooler than I am LOL 😆😅. 3 - 0 Moonshine 👍

I love the Daytona

I’ve tried kissing up to Yokozuna for years but..

Same 😉😂🤣

Your wish is my command but I am afraid these photos will definitely influence your decision 🤣😂😺

Oh yeeeeaaaahhh!!!! What a beauty!

Knew you would like that LOL. So which is your choice ?

Yokozuna sold me! I’m going with the moonshine!

Ahahaha, thought that would happen. The force js strong with Yokozuna. He probably got you with the Jedi mind trick LOL 😂🤣. 16 - 4 Moonshine 👍

Interesting comparison, Justin

Thanks for the feedback George. 4 - 0 Moonshine 👍

The Omega for me, please

Thanks for your feedback and I tend to agree. A bit shocking to see the results in the Rolex section so far. 5 - 0 Moonshine 👍

I devote myself : The Dayto : green and gold go very well together !!

Et voilà, the 1st vote for the Daytona 😉. 5 - 1 Moonshine 👍

I am over the moon, so moonshine for me !

LOL, well since I don't have any children, the decision was easier for me 😜. 6 - 1 Moonshine 👍

😂

Moonshine without any hesitation.

I'm with you on this 😜😉. 7 - 1 Moonshine

Has to be moonshine

Thanks for the feedback my friend. 8 - 1 Moonshine 👍

Thanks for sharing these beauties and spoiling us for choice!🙏🏻

Always a pleasure to share with fellow WPS purists 😉👍

Definitely the Omega, my friend!

Agreed my friend 😉. 9 - 1 Moonshine 👍

For me the Omega. larger case, exclusivity and the history of this watch just pips the Daytona; but only just.

Thanks for your feedback. 10 - 1 Moonshine 👍

I am a sucker for

Yes understood and thanks for your feedback. 11 - 1 Moonshine 👍

Moonshine, yes for sure

😉👍

Totally the Rolex...

You might want to check out the caliber 3861 Patrick. I have been a Daytona and Speedmaster fan for over 25 years and own over a dozen of each...11 - 2 Moonshine...

You brought up a lot of good points...

There is no "might" Patrick. You are clearly biased based on your decision and reasoning. No harm or foul committed as we are ALL biased based on our preferences, influences, marketing, social media, perception, etc...

Yes. Definitely more interested in trying the new Speedmaster than ever!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after you try it on and get to feel and play with the new bracelet and movement 😉👍

Clearly the Moonshine!

Agreed on your points Kent. 12 - 2 Moonshine 👍

Daytona - love your Rolex

Thanks you for your input. 12 - 3 Moonshine 👍

I’d go Moonshine too 🥇🙂 Love the bezel and black markers

I also prefer the matte finish as well as the tone and hue of the Moonshine YG over the YG of the Daytona. Thanks for your input. 13 - 3 Moonshine 👍

I would not describe the ' green ' daytona as a gold giant... now if you use a full gold zenith daytona. then we are cooking...

We can agree to disagree but I also wanted to use current models as well 👍

indeed, to your point !👍

😉👍🙏

A great pair but... the Speedmaster is my favorite! It seems very “fresh” compared to the Daytona.

Agreed Massimiliano, thanks for your feedback. 14 - 3 Moonshine.

Coincidentally, many (25) years ago, yes! Then life gave me who is now my wife... but with another name! ;-)

Ah ok, I confused you with another Massimiliano I met but I guess Massimiliano and Giovanna are more common in Italy than they are to me as I don't know many, let alone both who have histories with people of similar names 😉😂🤣

For sure, coincidences of life are, at least, incredible!

Indeed they are my friend 😉

One question:

I think you misunderstood the point of the choice in this exercise. For me, I obvious chose BOTH 😜 but if I had to choose, it would be an easy decision as I would choose the Moonshine without hesitation...

👏👍

😉😁👍🙏

Fair enough, Champ

Totally understand your decision. For me, the RED bezel was one of the strong points about this special watch. Maybe it has to due to culture as I am of Asian decent so red is an important color signifying strength, prosperity, etc...👍😁

Generally I'm a bit biased towards Omega .. but I do appreciate Rolex too. Went back and forth over and over (your sweat pics) and I can only conclude what you obviously did... own both! :-)

Finally, someone who understands me 😁😉. BOTH is clearly the correct response 👍👏

Mostel beat me to it.. if that dayto didn’t have pcl and just brushed gold on the bracelet, it would be the dayto for me. But it’s a close one as i like the moonshine as well. Good you have both :-)

I see your point but the bracelet and the PCL were never a detractor for me. I still would choose the Moonshine for other merits. So which was your choice ? 😉😜

Definitely the moonshine :-)

Got it and noted, thanks. 16 - 4 Moonshine 👍

To me an all-brushed Daytona bracelet would look funny with the all polished case. The PCLs are fine in this instance but the Moonshine is just a better color.

+1 😉👍. Difficult to see in the photos and much more apparent in real life 👍

Good point.

My pick.

Lovely, thanks for your input Fernando. 15 - 3 Moonshine 👍

I vote for the daytona
