Howard Hughes taught us... one can collect anything.

My interest in SS Daytona ended when the odd ceramic bezels entered the scene. They just look... I don't know.

Happily just found a RG Daytona on oyster. Would definitely love a SS Daytona with SS bezel, but I'm not sophisticated enough to buy a good vintage.

Daytona is steel at retail.

Any other decision is a mistake.

Just one man’s opinion.

I personally love the aesthetics of most PM Daytonas much more than the SS. The issue I have with SS Daytonas are 1) they are VERY abundantly available (even if not at MSRP), 2) the dials are abit dissapointing.

The PM dials on the other hand always look much more sophisticated and high end, and certain configurations, like the Oyster Flex or a FULL gold bezel are only available in PM configurations and just feel more "classic".

For everyday wear I would always go OF and for collecting, I would go PM.

PM ruined SS for me. :)

The Panda is legendary. Until you hold it next to a PM on oysterflex.

Its obvious theyre in a different league, and rightly so since the PM costs more than 2x SS (at retail)

I actually love them both and hope to have both someday. But if
I could only keep one it would be PM.

Once you go PM you can never go back

Honestly, I’ve never seen a Daytona I didn’t like. It’s not favorite watch model.

If I were to choose to have only one, it would be this one:

You can't go wrong with either of them, but for the ones listed, I would go SS.

My favorite YG 11 series variant. Hopefully one day!

Nice YG Daytona.

I have both a panda and PN, the gold is light years more impressive. IMO
