Panda Daytona vs Speedmaster white dial

[tuantuanbo]

It is kinda interesting to put my Panda Daytona and the new white dial Speedmaster together and make some comparisons. Made a video and hope you would like it!

Awesome love it! I have Panda and Ed White as my combo :-)

I absolutely ADORE the new white Speedmaster.

Personally I think it edges out the panda but only by a small margin. What does it for me are the non screw down pushers. They make the chrono much more usable this way.


Life is short buy the watch-

So where are the subdials on the Speedmaster?

Side by side the Omega looks huge compared to the Rolex. The thicker bezel also makes the Rolex wear smaller to the eye.

I feel like the lack of rings around the subdials on the speedy look like a person who shaved off their eyebrows

I think the same. I do not care for white dials on already big watches - it just super sizes them.

Zero interest in this white dial Speedy.

It doesn't look that big on the wrist tho. And remember, Daytona is 38.5mm Speedy - 42mm. Of course there is a difference

I like the look of the white dial Speedy.

Not comparing apples to apples IMO. I’m on the list for a white dial SS Daytona a long with several thousand of my closest friends. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my white dial Speedy.

New Daytona is 39.5mm I think. Speedmaster isn’t a true 42mm either if I recall correctly.

I can’t believe many people are looking at these two and making a choice between them.

I love my white dial speedmaster but it was easy to buy and the Daytona didn’t even cross my mind when I was buying it. For those of us that would have to go grey, the Daytona is three times the price for starters.

I believe you broke the code 😎.

For most of us, there is no choice.

I think an illusion is a factor here.

People forget that the 11 series Daytona started with the platinum version which was measured 39.5mm, which is why it was always marketed as a 40mm line.

The steel version as featured in this video is actually 38.5mm (due to the asymmetric lugs).

So we are seeing a 38.5mm vs 42mm watch.

Now the interesting part, the speedmaster FOIS is 39.4mm, it has exactly the same dial and bezel as the 42mm professional. It's the twisted lugs and crown guards that give it its larger size as per the calipers.

The dial and bezel of that speedy is around 39.4mm vs the 38.5mm of the steel Daytona. I agree with the larger dial and thinner bezel it looks way bigger despite being just 1mm bigger than the Daytona bezel to bezel.

Neither do much for me. If I had to pick, I'd go with the speedy pro.

I can’t wait until I get my hands on the white speedy. I’ve been waiting from my AD for a couple months now. Not sure why it’s taking so long

It's a beautiful watch, demand is quite high. Once you receive it, you will love it. Good luck with the wait.

Personally, I prefer the white Speedy Pro over the Daytona.

I’ve owned the Black and White dial Daytona, sold both, much prefer the White dial Speedmaster in this comparison.

You know you can just leave the pushers unscrewed on the Daytona for the same effect.

You got the wrong guy, mate: while you are completely right about the Daytona not having a panda dial, i am one of the few who engaged on this forum against the panda nonsense for the SS Daytona white dial.

[1William]

Nice post. Not sure.

[h20addict]

Well for starters the White dial Speedmaster is actually attainable at retail...
