I️ believe the current SS Daytona is 38.6mm if you use calipers to measure it.
The 4 digit Daytona’s were more like 37mm.

 If you dont mind an extra .5mm than the current ceramic Daytona fits the bill. |

All of the original 60's and 70's Daytonas were about 38mm.
I don't think that watches were so critically measured by enthusiasts back then as they are now.

Most measurements I see here are measured horizontal 9 to 3. My understanding is Rolex measure diagonally 10 to 4 or 8 to 2. Maybe the reason for the differences of opinion.
