Omega, hands down. You get a model that has actually done something, has variety, is proven. Compared to a watch that failed - professionally and when originally sold - and is now only famous because of a future philanthropic ranch dressing salesman and the name on the tin.

Hi! We have a very similar situation. I've also loved the Submariner with green bezel since I've been a young lad. Years of learning about watches and history and ALSO the Rolex games I've lost my appeal for Rolex. They are wonderful time pieces with great history but the games and fan boys who don't actually like or know anything about watches has turned me off. Like you, I'll be turning 40 and wanted to buy something special, I think it's going to be the speedy also. Did you pick it up?

Speedmaster is the real tool watch. It looks the business. It looks like it’s made for a job. Rolex, while beautiful, is jewelry. It looks like it belongs in a vault, or maybe with a fancy suit to a wedding. The Speedy can be worn to the same wedding, if not as elegant as the Daytona, but it would also be at home as a daily driver. I couldn’t wear the Daytona to anything other than some really fancy occasions. I can wear the Speedy every day to work and enjoy it so much.

I wear my Daytona for the office. I wouldn't wear it as a daily beater, that's what my Sub was for. Now my GMTII is a much better daily wear. For the gun range, to camping, road trips (though I pack my 1911 .45 as well), I also include my Omega Planet Ocean as a daily beater. If I'm really anticipating some rough wear, I have Seiko Tuna Prospex MarineMaster.

Speedy all day long. Even if I won the lottery tomorrow I’d choose a Zenith El Primero before the Daytona. Hell I’d even have Breitling Navitimer over the Daytona! The only thing better on the Rolex is the bracelet. Otherwise it just as screams “everybody look at me and my wealth!” And I own a Rolex OP as well as a new co-axial Speedy so I’m not brand biased. The Speedy is understated, elegant, strap monster and famous for having achieved something real not for maybe having been worn by a famous actor!

I have chosen the Speedmaster Haselite version. The legibility of the watch is amazing. It doesn't matter if it is 12:00h and direct sunlight... there is no glare. You are perfectly able to tell the time or use the stopwatch. Try this with the Daytona... your eyes will burn. The Speedmaster has is 1,5T resistance, which is an equivalent to a small MRI. Since I am working in a strong magnetic environment. That is important 😊 Nice video as usual 👌

@@glostergloster6945 good point! Probably makes the most sense, given you can't scratch the caseback if it's against your wrist. Still, I like the domed crystal of the hesalite - it gives the dial some added depth that I think is more attractive to look at (albeit more scratchable) than the flat sapphire. That said, if Omega ever offered a *domed* sapphire crystal on the front, along with a see-through caseback for the movement, that might be the best of both worlds.

Yeah no contest in my opinion. Both have similar legit heritage/history, both quality companies, both considered (to varying degrees) luxury watches. Both Swiss. Then because it is a) available and b) cheaper, the Speedy is the better option, better value AND in my opinion the Speedmaster is better looking (as someone else said more understated, elegant and yes toolish). Yes the Rolex has better 'resale value' but I don't buy watches as 1) an investment or 2) to flip and sell. If resale is your main criteria in a watch (and you can find one) then by all means the Daytona is the better watch.

I don’t think the Daytona is more famous than the Submariner 🤷‍♂️ It’s called the Cosmograph because that was the original chronograph name before being renamed. The Cosmograph (with Valjoux 72 manually movement) was the watch submitted to NASA in 1964 but it catastrophically failed the high temperature tests when the hands melted together & the watch became inoperable.

Having owned both, each has their high points and things they could do better. Winding a Speedmaster is an utter pain, even the hand-crankers, plus the sapphire sandwich makes for a needlessly beefy watch. On the plus side, there's wondrous variety of sizes, movements, colors, & materials. The Daytona is downright illegible in bright light due to lack of AR and not that great even under normal light, plus the availability makes seeking one on grey market akin to buying a new car. On the plus side, it's a very compact and comfortable watch to wear, has better water resistance, and is unquestionably seen as a status watch atm. Which one should you get? The one that makes you smile the most when you look at it.

I dont think these are watches to compare. The Speedy is a more of historical piece and the Daytona is a modern watch

All 1861 and 3861 have the same defective problem. chrono min, hour hand Alignment error during chrono operation. Time Hour and minute hand alignment error. Min hand jumping while turning the crown. This is a problem that does not even occur with the Tag or Hamilton Chrono. All 5 moonwatches on display at the store had the same defective, and I bought the watch with the smallest defective, later on the service center decided it was normal, so I am just using it with disappointment, but it is always annoying. This is why many people love Rolex Daytona. perfection.

@@pharmkim244 No I don’t. I think I’d know seeing as I own the watch and wear it regularly. I’ve run the chrono for hours to check and have never seen an issue with alignment nor does the minute hand jump during winding of the crown. I bought mine in June 2021. Maybe I’ve been lucky or you’ve been unlucky and you’re the first person I’ve ever heard complain about it.

Look, I'd get the 321 version of the Omega. You can even go white gold Speedy and still be way under the radar that a Daytona would trip.

Speedie sapphire sandwich without hesitation. I nearly ordered a Daytona in 1989 but wait list was two years, so bought a sea dweller 16660. Glad I did as it’s a fantastic timepiece and still looks great today. Daytona is far too ostentatiously obvious for a mugging when you wear everyday. Speedie is not so blatantly expensive to untrained eye.

Speedmaster Racing Co-Axail, with white face. That's the one I bought & I love it. I did consider the moon watch but no one has ever been to the moon. I didn't want to wear a lie, so my decision was made.

Speedmaster looks more of a tool watch while Daytona looks like a typical Rolex sports watch. I like the look of Daytona more. I do wish Omega makes an automatic version within the professional line. I think making the bezel more slanted would make it less like a tool watch.

Always liked the design language of the Daytona. But hated all the associations with the watch. New white Speedmaster all the way.

Im blessed to have both. A stainless steel and gold Daytona with white face and gold subdials. And a classic stainless steel Speedmaster Pro with black face and Hesalite crystal. The Daytona was actually so slow selling in the 60s and 70s that dealers were giving steep discounts and even steeper discounts if you bought a gold date just or gold day date. Then in the 1980s, the yuppie trend started and Rolex gained traction along with single malt scotch and Gucci loafers. The Daytona got a lot of traction with Paul Newman's Datyona Panda. The all stainless Daytona is actually much less expensive than the gold and steel, but much more in demand, so all steel is never available. I bought the gold and steel, and although i wasn't crazy about two tone, it grew on me and it just looks elegant. So accurate and such finesse in the way the pushers and crown feels. When i was working as a prosecuting attorney, and took a case to jury trial, i would wear my best power suit, power tie, highly polished Allen Edmunds tassled loafers, and my gold and steel Daytona. It was my good luck charm.

I would buy the Omega for many reasons, but let me be the minority on the channel that says the Daytona is one of the most amazing-looking dials/bezels I've ever seen.
