Which chronograph combo would you buy?

Dear TRF,

Which chronograph combo would you buy? Given the budget, you can only have one PM piece below.

A) PM Daytona + Datejust 41



B) Speedmaster 321 stainless-steel + Day-Date 40



Current collection: 1) Rolex Submariner(116610LV), 2) Rolex GMT-Master II(126710BLNR)

When I wanted a chronograph I bought a Speedmaster. That’s the only one of those four watches I want.

With that daytona option I'd go option B the 321 despite not on my radar is a much more special watch compared to the datejust and dd in yg looks better daytona for rg or other dials
It's not bad but not my favorite either

A for me. If I bought B, I'd always look at the chrono and say...I should have bought A.

I'll probably go with the combo I have: Speedmaster Pro & DJ 41

I also have a bunch of money left over to buy either a Sub or an Explorer I

Tough - both great.

I’d go Option B. EW321 is special, and you get the PM in the Flagship DayDate. This coming from someone who LOVES PM Daytonas.
