    I would alternate days if I had that pair at my disposal.

    You have two wrists, right? Double barrel is the answer my man! Nick Hayek did it all the time, even going as far as 4 or 5 watches on each arm.

    Modern Daytona does nothing for me personally, so it would be the Speedy.

    I actually wear my Daytona more, but love my Speedmasters more, which is odd to say I guess, but the Daytona in real world use is probably the best watch I own. The 72 hour PR is brilliant for weekends, take it off Friday arvo, put it on Monday morning. The clasp and easy-link system are top notch, the thin profile makes it perfect for cuffs and it never gets bashed on door jams like some taller pieces. Its water resistant to 100M (One of only two water resistant watches I own) and keeps extremely good time, its a technically and practically excellent watch in a lot of respects.

    There's also this thing where if you walk into most Rolex dealers wearing one here where there's still a massive waiting list, the salesman will drop whoever they're talking to and fawn over you like you wouldn't believe. When you're trying to get spare links, a bracelet adjustment or whatever that can sometimes help out.

    That said, I own one Daytona, and three Speedmasters. So that also says something.

    I prefer the one I can read: Speedmaster.
    I sold my first and only Daytona 4130 because I had to study the minute register to determine the elapsed time. I think the 4130 is one of the finest chrono movements on the market. But even a 40+ year old design has its place in current production (Lemania in the Speedmaster, or the Zenith El Primero).
    Which dial configuration on a solid gold Daytona is the easiest to read? I only say solid gold because neither the black nor white dial stainless Daytona's are legible to me...
