IWC 5001-13 vs. Rolex Ceramic Daytona

Trying to decide btw these two, wondering whether anyone has any thoughts (price difference not an issue):

Option 1: IWC 5001-13 - red gold w/leather strap
Option 2: Rolex Daytona - ceramic, rose gold w/leather strap

Am thinking the Rolex keeps better time and is a little more understated. The IWC has a little more presence due to size, and has an open back. Both seem great.

Thanks

I vote Portuguese. Killer display back and oversized classicism.

Depends... Want a chronograph, get the Daytona. Want a clean looking dressy/casual watch, the Port Auto (one of my favorite models).
