·That’s like saying film versus digital, or analog music verses digital. Some of us have both and appreciate that a few companies choose to continue heritage technologies for us to enjoy.
Omega Speedmaster or Rolex Daytona.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorI think the comparison is more like a manual transmission or automatic transmission. Even though the automatic have the technology to out do manuals, some people feel some cars should be nothing but manual.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorWas waiting for all the Automatic race cars to come out 😂🤣
I did own a quarter mile V8 Ute with a 2 speed ratchet shift power glide gearbox.
(Similar to below)
Having manual cars most of my life, I don’t mind the occasional hire car in automatic.
Having a 4x4 that is manual and even has a second shifter for high and low 4x4 gear is enough of a theft proof as anyone needs nowadays.
Have a few mates with newer 4x4s that are automatic and all the 4x4 operations are push button. (Problem when shit goes south and they can only limp home on 2 wheel drive 🤯)

·I would very much like to have a Daytona, panda dial of course. BUT, I am not willing to pay for it and wait however many years it takes to get one. So I have four Speedies. Three new ones this year. And a Tudor I got last Christmas. Daytona ish.

·Considering both of my cars have manual transmissions, you can see where I fall in that camp. I actually had to hunt for a year to find my most recent car in manual since only about 5% were made in manual trans and only from 2017-2019 for that model.
(DCTs with non-nannie programming can be insane; just can't get that mule kick clutch dump experience any other way.)

·I like both watches - Daytona and Speedmaster. I am in the process of reacquiring a speedmaster for mod though I have Daytona.

·So I know this as been done in some way or another more than 1000 times, but I want to look at it on each watches own merit. History and resale value is a large part of why people buy one of these two watches, however I want to get peoples options ( I know this is a bias omega forum) on these two watches based on quality and visual beauty ( I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder). For that reason, I want to use sapphire sandwich version because it uses modern materials that I feel would match better to a Daytona. Nothing wrong with the hesalite, but it is more geared to history, rather than materials for modern watch making. So the question is, does the Speedmaster carry quality, prestige, luxury on par or near on par with the Daytona or are they on two different level?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Platona or bust…
And by bust I mean Speedy.
God how have I missed the existence of this thread. So much for me to facepalm.
DCT are not automatics!!!! They are automated manuals. SMG’s are better then both but a dead tech unless your in F1 or LeMans prototypes. Or pretty much every other racing on the planet.
Manuals with a manual clutch are dead in racing. The increase in workload vs an automated clutch system like SMG is just to high. As an owner of an automated clutch car I can tell you that Hans (what I called the computer and hydraulic system) always did perfect up and down shifts faster then any human could without having to be Hans Struck on the three pedals.
