Of the 3, the Aquanaut first, followed by the Daytona. I don’t like Tang and Buckle watches.

Oof. Tough call but think I have to go with the aqua on this one. Good scale perspective with all of them together too.

I like the look of the Daytona OysterFlex strap.

FWIW, 5164a is my choice also but the other two aren’t too shabby.

Favorite Strap? or favorite watch on the strap?

Aqua has the coolest strap, but the Daytona is the coolest watch.


In any case, what a great lineup!

I think I’ll go Dayton believe it our not. It’s the one I’d worry about least on the wrist

Patek certainly nailed the dial on 5164. I have come around to like it despite the pushers and a complication I find overrated. Never been much of a Daytona fan and the Odysseus looks weird in my eyes.

I've owned a couple Breguet 5817s for around 6-8 months now and they've really made me appreciate the aesthetic of integrated black rubber watches so much. The aquanaut especially has just grown on me 10 fold to the point where it's top of my someday list. As it turns out that exact configuration Rolex is also top of my dream list you have great taste! The Odysseus is also fantastic but would be my third out of those by a mile.

Not clear to me if the choice is between straps or watches.
In both cases, it is surprising that so far ALS Odysseus basically is ranking last. It seems to be really a divisive watch.
Anyway, my ranking of full pkg watch+ strap is (I, II and III): center, left, right.

Patek.

But I have found Panerai most comfortable for rubber strap for any I have personally owned.

Certainly all three are great watches.

I'll take Door Number 1, thanks. Best clasp and adjustable including a tool-less microadjust. WINNER.

Definitely not the Patek, the lack of any micro adjustments

The Daytona Oysterflex by a landslide both for the watch and rubber strap.
