Much prefer the new references...not just in this comparison, but across the Daytona line.

I think there's an argument for the older line besides lower cost:

- wears smaller
- less blingy (the bezel ring adds a bit of this)
- they don't have the "slab" case
- dial characteristics (subdial spacing, lume markers) are different

OF Daytona 11 and 12 series have the same case.

Old vs New Daytona Pikachu?

I’d be thrilled with either. But I’d probably pick the 12 if I had a choice.

You're right - I was speaking generally to the best above mine regarding all the upgraded daytonas.

Don’t be bothered with these comments. They tried acting “above” a silly nickname, by being a child. We have these idiots at work too.

Voting 11 series. I like the bigger hour makers over new Ozempic version.
