Agree and that’s why I voted with my wallet
I own two Daytonas on bracelets and I love them. I do like the OF Daytonas in general though.

I own an OF Daytona and not any of the other two, but funny enough I agree with this. OF feels more at home with the YM. It’s part of its DNA and the first watch that got an OF strap.

The Daytona it works well IMO and wears really nice. The Daytona is a sporty piece so a rubber bracelet makes sense and goes well.

Personally I think the Skydweller with OF is just weird. I’ve tried it on. Comfort is nice for those with bigger wrists (as the SD has a bigger diameter and thicker case height), but it’s a dress watch through and through. It’s just strange with a rubber bracelet.

Interesting perspective on the SD …

I think the other options should be to include the OF with the divers as an accessory, but I don’t see that happening

Jeez, this is one that I am stumped on. No YM for certain, so its between the Daytona and Skydweller....polar opposite.

RG YM 40 or the WG Daytona.

I really like both, it’d be tough for me to choose one.

Sometimes I like to start the chrono at noon. I really like to look at the red second hand! Nice fluid movement!

Well I used to have the yachtmaster. I have the rose gold meteorite Daytona. But the sky dweller is my favorite. It’s a yellow gold black dial and I just freakin love wearing it it’s so nice.
It kinda makes no sense on paper, sky dweller on rubber but it just somehow works. That watch is a bit too much for me on full bracelet and it’s sporty yet classy and just really cool on rubber.

Daytona for me. RG in particular. Main reason is that I own a Date Sub already and planning to get GMT in future. YM resembles that diver design a lot.

But to be honest it really depends on the size of your wrist.

Sky Dweller looks very chunky on <7 inch wrist.
At the same time Daytona will look too small on 7+.
YM luckily has both 40 and 42 mm options and among those I prefer 40 mm better

None I just can’t get on board with rubber and PM. Maybe to mix it up with a SS sub but that is about it.

126519LN without diamond indices. Contrast with the subdials is sublime

Completely agreed. A sub on OF would be awesome, though if they do, I guarantee it’ll be on the PM model only! I wish Rolex made an SS watch on stainless. I would absolutely love a 40mm YM in SS on OF with the matte black ceramic bezel. That would be a killer daily.

To me Daytona just looks aesthetically the best on OF, so probably the Daytona.
