Icon20 Rolex SS Daytona VS JLC Master Chronograph

Hello everybody and thank you for checking my thread out.

If you were able to buy only one of these two, which one it would be? forget about the reselling value.

BTW these photos are all googled and are not mine.

Love JLC and in fact have a different JLC Chrono, but of these two I would go Daytona - I tend to favor sportier watches right now.

Love the JLC but I will have to go with the Daytona, there is something about specially if you see it live, the JLC looks smaller, it is also 40 but live looks smaller.

Between these two fabulous chronographs, I might want to tip the scale just a tiny bit in favor of the JLC. I'm so sorry Daytona.
