White Dial Showdown

[Chute]

Normally I would say just save up and get a Daytona ( a 116520 in white is gorgeous) but seeing how the DSSD looks on your wrist, I’d say get the Tudor. It’s kind of big but that should be just fine on a large wrist

Non of them! Get a SS WD Daytona!

Of your choices the Zenith.

I agree if your heart wants a Daytona just get that. It will save you money in the long run.

I'd go with the Zenith. You should be able to get a discount on this. I love the Omega as well so I'd get that down the road. I thought I would love the Tudor but when I saw in person and it was just blah to me.

I have that SMP 300 and love it. The contrast of the white dial is amazing. I got mine at an Omega boutique, and they let me change the strap and clasp out at point of sale for a black canvas speedy strap and deployment buckle.

Enjoy the one watch while waiting for the BLNR - that's my thought!

Yea the pics of your sedna version on the beach got me started on wanting a white dial for the summers! And you're probably right; I just have the itch but I should probably wait (not patiently) for my BLNR and just get the SMP in the meantime. What I'll actually do? We'll see lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

If you only want sub dials for the look of it, the Tudor will get it done for less, although any watch with an hour hand designed to obscure the subdials cannot be taken seriously as a chrono IMO. But as a style statement I'm sure it fits the bill for many happy owners.

Yea I just love it for the history behind the movement and the beauty of it; I rarely if ever use the chrono function on my Speedmaster but I love wearing it!

Yes I wanted a Daytona until I saw one in person; looks like a child's toy on my wrist. Gorgeous piece in photos, but too small for me. Maybe if I spent more time on a treadmill instead of this forum it would fit me better lol but as it stands a little too small for me. That's why the Zenith or the Tudor at 41mm are a draw.

See above; love the watch in pictures but just too small on me in person.

I'd say my heart is more with the Zenith, so I should probably just buy the Zenith and the SMP as funds allow and not try to fill the Zenith void with the Tudor just to save money. That said I need to try both on still since I haven't had a chance to try on the Zenith or the Tudor in person just yet.


Thanks for all the feedback so far everybody I love hearing the different opinions of everyone here!
