I am over the moon, so moonshine for me !

I still got love for the daytona though.
It reminds me a bit of the question of which of your kids you love more. π

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

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...
Totally agree...

Additionally for every one of these "special" Speedmasters, how many more of these gold Daytonas will you see? Plenty more ;-)
Not even close (as if there was any questionπ)

The Moonshine. Iβm not sure I could rock either which tells you how much cooler Justin (or Yokozuna) is than me. I do wish Speedmaster had greater water resistance in general but still no question. Omega is gaining on Rolex...Iβm sure itβs probably a matt...
I love the Daytona
By: Tchela1 : February 12th, 2021-10:59
But here the moonshine is more elegant. I need to see it on Yokozuna first, to really be sure!
Interesting comparison, Justin

Without a shadow of doubt, my choice would be the Speedmaster. Reasons why are several technical, of which many have been mentioned already and esthetic reasons. Furthermore Iβm probably one of the very few who think the Daytona is not a desirable watch. ...
The Omega for me, please

I find its design to be more visually pleasing than the Daytonaβs. Love the red bezel and the black hour markers set against the gold. Ano Nuevo

Omega. Honestly i can not say wrong words about the Daytona, because i do not wear it, so i have no reason to pick another watch as a favorite. But never saw a bad Omega, or a Omega that is not my cup of tea. And the Speedmaster Moonshine and the new Snoo...

Totally the Rolex...
By: patrick_y : February 12th, 2021-13:13
My understanding is that this Omega has a cam system instead of a column wheel controlled chronograph? I'll take the Daytona. It might not be the crazy popular choice, as I know Omegas are in vogue, but it's the qualitative one!
You brought up a lot of good points...
By: patrick_y : February 12th, 2021-23:22
The Gauss resistance, the longer service interval, the G-force resistance is all very interesting stuff! I definitely default to you since you have both to compare side by side. I'll have to wait until I own a Moonwatch before I can make an informed decis...
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...

The point of the exercise was to base your decision on the merits of the watches - looks, design, heritage, movement, technicity, etc... The flip lock buckle of the Rolex is great. I suggest you try on a Moonshine or the new 3861 Speedmaster as it has a s...
Clearly the Moonshine!
By: kkochheiser : February 12th, 2021-13:14
Admittedly, I'm a bigger fan of the Speedmaster than the Daytona, although I have both (in steel). In gold, for me the advantage for the Speedmaster is even greater. Kent
Daytona - love your Rolex
By: penfriend : February 12th, 2021-14:18
because I simply don't like the speedmaster design at all (kind of metal has got no relevance)
Iβd go Moonshine too π₯π Love the bezel and black markers
By: oyster case : February 12th, 2021-14:31
Also like the hue of the gold from pictures, is it distinct in person? It is very flattering on Yokozuna ππ π Plus, the bracelet works really well in gold π while Iβm not a huge fan of it in steel π

One question:
By: Mostel : February 12th, 2021-18:03
If Rolex did NOT have polished center links... and the ultimate scratch magnet bezel... would you feel the same? I ask because we --most of us--are obsessed with condition... At the end of the day... Rolex always trumps Omega... ALWAYS... So is it the scr...

Fair enough, Champ
By: Mostel : February 15th, 2021-14:32
And I later noted to myself that of course Omega trumps Rolex frequently... so no argument there... given some afterthought... I completely 'get' why you prefer the Omega in this contest... And I am 100% aware of the Moonshine historic importance... For m...
My pick.

I vote for the daytona
By: Cookies : February 13th, 2021-01:34
The heart says it, but the brain says the Moonshine is superior in many ways. Something rakish about a gold daytona conjures a weekend club ride out with the driving club.
Fantastic question...
By: Christian777 : February 16th, 2021-01:18
Itβs the Speedy for mine. I have an anniversary model and they are totally underrated in the current intoxicating environment where supply/demand trumps technical excellence, history and provenance. Letβs all keep in mind that the Omega Speedmaster was th...
