Which Daytona would you chose?

If going PM would you chose the full gold bracelet or the oyster flex version?

Get the bracelet. You can always wear it on an aftermarket strap.

Fun fact. Oisterflex Daytonas have a different case and cannot use the bracelet.

I like the black ceramic bezel so it’s the ghost panda for me.
I’m not a big fan of YG too but that’s a personal thing. Thus, WG would be my choice in this comparison.

OF.
I like the combo of OF and ceramic bezel. It looks more modern to me.
This model and the other similar ones on WG and RG have a very nice flow:
black, gold, black, gold, black...

Out of curiosity, I tried on an OF bracelet (gold Daytona) at my AD for the first time a few weeks ago - pure genius. Imagine wearing a bracelet made of marshmallows...it's that comfortable.

Not a fan of the modern Daytona no matter the metal, but if I did have to choose it would be a bracelet type.

OF is sooooo good! One of the best straps on the market provided it is sized correctly.

Very difficult choice. The metal bezel is a scratch magnet and the ceramic bezel is a great pairing with the black subdials and the black rubber. I think I’ll go OF

Is price a factor in consideration?

For much flexible option can get the bracelet; u can deploy a rubber strap and after market ceramic bezel if you want the look of OF

All gold is next level. For me it's not really close.
