Interesting read, though I agree with the posted comments that say "who needs a chronograph for an everyday watch....?" I think that a submariner is not only a good theoretical choice, but it is a practical choice for an everyday watch..

Agreed
I agree that the Daytona is a great watch, unfortunately I would have to sell all three of my Submariners to purchase one, so I just stare and admire for now....
