best gift option
Id lke to give a 70 years old gift to my father, and between the DJ2 WG , Daytona Steel, what is the best option?
Do the difference in price between the DJ2 steel and WG is justified? My father has a yatchmaster Platnium with gray dial that he uses almost as a everyday watch. do you have any other suggestion? |

Get him the DJ II, I bet he' will never even think to use the Chrono function on the Daytona and some people claim they are hard to read....

Between those, the DJ II. The Daytona is a tough dial to read, IMO. 70 year old eyes might appreciate the DJ more.

DateJust II Black Sticks
DateJust II Black Sticks would be my choice but I'm an old guy who needs a big watch with big hands to see. This is mine.
