I have both and most wrist time is a wg Daytona followed by the new FOIS. I have way more Speedmasters than Daytonas though, but opening the safe I do pick a Rolex most days.

That Speedy looks amazing. So much better than the Daytona.
I often say that the Speedmaster is the timelessly successful watch because you can't give it the new as well as the old. the Daytona is one of my favourite watches but it certainly has a look that leads to it always being modern even in vintage models where certain styles can't be compared because it doesn't have the fascinating and historical appeal that a Speedmaster might have

I want to love the Daytona - but the legibility is an issue. A major issue.

They need to use white hands on the subdial of the black face and black hands on the subdial of the white face.

Until that’s resolved the Speedy wins hands down for me.

One is a proper tool watch that is easy to read at a glance...............the other is a watch for utter tools! 🤣

Then call me a “tool”!

In my opinion, the SS Daytona is so hard to read (and the screw in pushers so impractical), I think it is more of a status symbol than a watch.

Here's the difference:

When I think about the Speedmaster, this is what I see::

To be fair, I DO like the Submariner. 😁
