I typically use it meaning "catches your eye," (in a good way).

There is no question here. The SkyD for sure.

The Daytona wears small for a 40mm watch. When I first tried one on I was like geez it feels and looks so small.

If they're in SS than I'd say SkyD mostly due to the bezel.

Skydweller, this isn't even a fair comparison.

Subjective term - own them both - both amazing - but pretty clear choice here - SkyDw.

Sky dweller. The bigger dial and fluted bezel make it pop more than a DaytonaC

Sky-Dweller but it’s not my preference of the 2. Just more bling than I’m used to.

I have both and Daytona fit me much better because of my small wrist. But SkyD is a huge statement on my hand though. Presence goes to SkyD

SkyDweller wears much larger and has much more wrist presence.
Totally different watch.

42mm, shiny fluted bezel.. it definitely the Skydweller that has more wrist presence, I ca t see how anyone could argue the contrary.

To a non-WIS the SD will have more presence, fluted bezel and larger case. To the trained eye however, a Daytona is a Daytona is a Daytona. It's legendary. I voted equal.

Yep. Had to be. They only made a handful of them. Rolex ran out of orange sapphires and when they sourced some more they made one for the guy I met. This hobby is great! Something for everyone.🤙

Interesting how the blue tones of your Sky Dweller and the red month indicator mimic the BMW M colours. Nice SD BTW.

Not a fear comparison but easily the Sky Dweller.
It’s a more advance watch, better functionality, better looking and of course, wrist presence
