having tried both recently I’d be inclined to disagree .. especially Daytona 126 .. looking at them I felt Daytona was a bit bigger to look at and presence on the wrist

Agree. But the Daytona (in gold) feels better balanced and Easy-Link clasp adjustment helps with wearability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I own both. Daytona 100% wears smaller. Not even a question.

Not sure which one wears smaller. However, I personally like the DD. Daytona dial too busy for me.

Daytona definitely "feels" smaller even though they're both technically 40mm

The Daytona tends to wear a bit smaller compared to the Daydate 40.

Absolutely Daytona. Every time I see or try one on at the AD I'm shocked at how small it looks in-person.

The Daytona wears flat compared to the DD but size wise the Daytona and DD are similar.

Daytona. Tried a platinum version on earlier today for the third time and the size is just too small. Have a DD40 as well and it definitely wears bigger

I think wearing smaller is better. It just feels better on the wrist

I own both.
Daytona gives appearance and feel of wearing smaller.

DD’s never fit properly either as the bracelet can’t be adjusted. |

I'd say the 116 definitely wears smaller and the 126 wears almost the same as the DD40

Wear the same but Daytona will appear smaller due to busier dial

I own the 116508 and have tried on many 228238. The 116508 wears smaller for sure. Never tried on the 126508, but I think it has the same case at the stainless and two-tone variants that I have tried on. Those both definitely wear bigger than the 116508. They're probably pretty close to fitting the same as the 228238, maybe slightly smaller--but you're splitting hairs at that point.
