I’m wearing my Tokyo 2020 Panda right now with the newer style bracelet that I sourced. Maybe my favorite watch. The white dial speedie is nice though.

I’ve never been a Speedy fan. But this one, which I bought about three weeks ago, I found irresistible. I wouldn’t say no to the white dial SS Daytona if my AD offered it to me, for sure. But the white Speedy is an excellent and beautiful watch. (And the comments about its not being adequately water resistant are unfounded. Omega says so (a watch can’t meet METAS standards or NASA’s if it isn’t water resistant). Lots of Speedy owners say so. And, after having swum in the Aegean Sea and two pools with mine two week ago, I say so, too.)

Both great watches.
I’ll borrow a maxim from sports though… “The best ability is availability”. If I walked into a Rolex/Omega AD and they had both available at retail, I’d take the Daytona. There is just something about a ceramic bezel combined with black outlined subdials that just make it incredible. However, the realization is: 1. I’ll never be offered a SS Daytona (any color). 2. I will never pay such an exorbitant gray premium for a SS Daytona. If I am spending $30k+ for a Daytona, it will be gold. That’s why I appreciate the Speddy so much for what it is. I just moved on from a black dial 3861 and there is a good chance that money will help fund a white dial 3861. |

From Omega: All current OMEGA watches are water resistant to the depth defined by the model specifications, provided that the components ensuring the water resistance are intact. This means that an OMEGA watch that is water resistant to 30 metres can be worn for swimming at depths of up to 30 metres underwater for extended periods without restriction. |

I just don’t understand why people keep saying this. Archer (who is an Omega watchmaker over on the Omegaforums.net) has debunked this misinformation time and time again. |

It’s a special edition limited to 2020 pieces for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which didn’t take place until 2021 due to the pandemic). It comes with the last generation bracelet but i sourced the new speedy bracelet and it fits perfectly. The dial is technically silver but it very much reads as a panda dial. I’d post a picture but I always have trouble doing so on this site. I love the watch. I call it the Pandamic

They are both nice watches, beautiful in their own way, Daytona will have my vote but I'd like the white Speedy and a black Daytona combo.

As far as I'm concerned you're talking about two different watches even though they both are chronometers and chronographs the Rolex is a superlative chronometer the Omega is a master chronometer both exceed cosc. neither has a date. The Rolex is far more desirable. i do like the look of the Omega and as I've stated it's a master chronometer meaning 0 to 2 seconds per day accuracy. It's far more affordable than the Rolex. However in the world of prestige the Rolex rules. And while I have no proof of this I do believe the Rolex is a lot tougher watch. If I could have both I would if I could only have one it would be the Rolex
