take the hype and resale $ out and 90% of appeal is gone from the daytona.

Blue Sky-Dweller. With such different complications and size, I can’t imagine many struggle with this particular choice.

Love my Blue Sky Dweller. I have 7.5 inch wrists and think the Daytona is undersized when I’ve tried it on

Very different and both winners imo. I'd go with the SkyD cause i have a big wrist plus there'd be less risk of my wife taking ownership of it.

Blue skydweller, hands down. Actually any skydweller over the daytona. The Daytona is a nice watch, but it is just a chronograph, and I don’t really have mich interest in chronographs. Daytona does not look particularly beautiful (it looks nice, don’t get me wrong), does not do anything particularly interesting, and I don’t have much use for the chronograph. Also, I am not a fan of big in your face bezels that have no practical value to me - I’m never going to use a tachymeter.

The skydweller on the other hand looks stunning and still more understated than the Daytona, it has a really interesting mechanical features, and the dual time zones are useful to me, but even if the complication was not useful it is a complication that would at least be running rather than sitting unused on my watch. Finally, it does not have a large tacky (or is it tachy) bezel giving it the bling factor.

Own them both. I have a 7.25 wrist and prefer the Daytona for comfort. The Sky l like better for dressing up. The Sky might Have a pretty decent chance of appreciation because it’s Rolex most complicated watch currently. Love them both but If I have to pick one of the two I would go with the Daytona.
