Just picked up my second Speedy. I can’t get enough of it. Unless you really want something with more bling, I think the Speedy is perfect. Unapologetically utilitarian and toolish, which ai love. Seedy went to the moon. Daytona was worn by Paul Newman.

I certainly think it looks a lot more legible than most Daytonas. And that the fancy self winding, moonphase, date,racing speedmasters etc are missing the point of the watch.

They are both comfortable watches that wear well balanced on a bracelet. The Speedy is less watch to thin about, but does not have the same special sauce. If all you are looking for is a great/iconic chrono, just go with the Speedy.
