BNIB. Which one (don’t say both). Why.

espngo · 18 July 2022, 12:14 PM

Can you be more specific? Any specific reference number(s)?

Seddyspaghetti · 18 July 2022, 12:15 PM

Daytona. Easy.

Those are the exact two watches I'm stuck between too. There are many Daytona's so which one in particular are you interested in?

Bxtek · 18 July 2022, 12:29 PM

Daytona in any "flavor" for me, except TT.

Cambo · 18 July 2022, 12:30 PM

Daytona….unless you own a boat/yacht

Benzsiam · 18 July 2022, 01:58 PM

At MSRP, Daytona win for me.

harvey · 18 July 2022, 02:05 PM

…this was never going to be close.

MTdweller · 18 July 2022, 02:50 PM

Both amazing pieces . . . but the nod goes to the Daytona. You have more dial options and the overall aesthetic is more refined. I own a PM Daytona on OF and would choose one every time over YM.

chua_derrick · 18 July 2022, 02:59 PM

YM rose gold unless you want to be the part of daytona hype. Buy what which speaks to you the most instead of the one where everyone hypes about!

Andy0331 · 18 July 2022, 04:06 PM

I'll be the contrarian and say Yachtmaster in almost every case (excluding the Platona). This is only taking appearance into consideration, not price, secondary value, rarity, "hype"etc. I do like Daytona's, but I prefer the Yachmaster, AKA "fancier" version of the Sub for it's simplicity and I love the black/rose gold combo.

faimag · 18 July 2022, 06:45 PM

I actually would also go for the RG YM. Something about the matte black bezel and black dial signs to me.

Mystro · 18 July 2022, 07:27 PM

Daytona because it has the best movement made by Rolex currently inside. The Daytona is also the most comfortable on the wrist and is absolutely stunning. The Daytona is a rock star and it’s hype is backed up by its 4130 movement.

alphadweller · 18 July 2022, 08:18 PM

I find the Daytona illegible at a glance. The YM on the other hand is super crisp. Easy choice for me.

HogwldFLTR · 18 July 2022, 08:36 PM

For me it depends on orientation. If you're water oriented thrn YM if land and speed then Daytona. Regardless of the hype there is no real bad choice here.

Solo118 · 19 July 2022, 12:40 AM

Daytona always comes first to me.... this is coming from a YM owner lol

rmagoo57 · 19 July 2022, 12:50 AM

YM RG40 for me. I like the look of the strap to case integration better than the gold end links on the strap. Thinking of trading something for one???

This is such a lame comment. But I'll play. I say Yacht-master, unless you are planning racing in Daytona.

ap1 · 19 July 2022, 03:04 AM

Is this ym rg of? If so, very underrated piece that I enjoyed tons. But….. Daytona is my fav reference so there’s that.

You · 19 July 2022, 03:09 AM

Daytona would be my vote.

Saints1 · 19 July 2022, 03:14 AM

YM, RG ... easy one for me.

Trailboss516 · 19 July 2022, 03:16 AM

Likely the one that brings a smile to your face.

Actually no...let me take that back.

DEFINITELY the one that brings a bigger smile to your face. Everyone else can get lost since it will be your purchase/watch/decision.

Turbo Racer · 19 July 2022, 03:41 AM

Daytona every day and twice on Sunday lol

prnceofpersia23 · 19 July 2022, 06:38 AM

YM in RG, Daytona in YG.

al7391z · 19 July 2022, 07:57 AM

RG Daytona for me. Unexpected call from AD just before Christmas 2022. Love it and I wear the hell out of it!

Apologies, Christmas 2021. I’ve had a few single malts

justdate · 19 July 2022, 09:01 AM

YM as it has the date.

KeithP · 19 July 2022, 10:03 AM

Well, one is lovely, legendary, hard to read and has a complication unlikely to be used often. The other is super legible, has a date and a timing bezel I’d use several times a day, every day. Wears similar to a Daytona also.

Yacht-Master for me.

dba · 19 July 2022, 10:04 AM

Almost any Rolex watch over a Daytona.

amanbra · 19 July 2022, 11:54 AM

Daytona but I'm a chrono person
