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.

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.

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.

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.
