Current Daytona VS Vintage Daytona and how they "wear"

[Brian Page]

Question - Can anybody give me some insight on how Vintage Daytona's wear? Thought a new Daytona was going to be great in my collection but when I got it I felt it wore too small on my wrist. I've had 2 Tudor Big Blocks that wear completely different in my opinion. I know the Big Block is taller, but it wears flatter as well, do any of the vintage pieces have this attribute?

Thanks!

Sorry, I've never worn a vintage Daytona, but I know what you mean about the thick case and flat back of the Big Block. The Heritage Chrono is much the same...amazingly comfortable, it just slaps itself onto the wrist like a thin slice of salami.

Adam, you know what I mean then - This is why I also favor the way the new EXPII 42 feels, I like the flatness of it.

This was the problem I had with the new Daytona and the new Ceramic SD4000.

If others have thoughts please chime in.

Own a Daytona did own a Tiger Tudor Chrono (as per big block), liked both not sure in my brain the Tudor wore flatter, in my mind the other way around. I cant imagine a vintage Daytona would wear different to current IMHO.
