·It would be especially AMAZING, if we could use this rubber bracelet on the Moonshine Apollo 11 AND now, we can also find a leather strap option with the buckle in Moonshine gold…. Right @hansmaulwurf !?

·The Speedy has always been a Daytona killer in my opinion.
In the looks department at least...
I still respect the Daytona for what it is though.

Well - the chances improved since the release of more Moonshine Gold Speedys 😉

·I don't know boys, the proportion of the Daytona is better and more cohesive.
At msrp, Daytona all day. At current market, I'll give the win to panda Speedy.
A solid gold Rolex is hard to argue with.
Proportion? The subdials aren't even centered in the Daytona, and the hour indices are different sizes and shapes. Add to that the strange end links make it difficult to change straps. At least the PM Daytonas are actually 40MM, unlike the smaller SS versions. Speedy all the way.

·Not trying to put the Daytona down at all (and still hoping to add one to my collection at some point), but a key strength of the Speedy is the ease of reading time and elapsed time thanks to its monochromatic design.

Not just that, but the Daytona's squished indexes look like amorphous blobs while the minute/running seconds track doesn't have any space to breathe. It certainly is an aesthetic, it's just not legible, practical, or clean.

·It's just silly not to appreciate the Daytona's merits, no matter how annoying Rolex fan bois are
* 12.2mm thick
* column wheel
* vertical clutch
* -2/+2 secs / day (rated)
* 72 hour reserve
* Cerachrom bezel
any of which I would take in a Speedmaster.
Yes you can get a 3861 that may be more accurate than -2/+2 but it's spec'd for 0/5+ so could run +5 and be "within spec"

·When my wife wears her Daytona, she either asks me what the time is or checks her phone. The watch looks good, though.
