I think you just hit the nail on the head....the SS white Daytona will give you exactly that. And - it's a very special watch....especially as you can swap dials

I had a YM SS/Plt but it didn't stay....but the Daytona is one of my favorites

Daytona for sure.

My opinion, but I love Chronographs, date or no date.

Love my plat Yachtmaster. Daytona is nice too but I don't need all those functions. The YM has more of a classic look and can be worn with blue jeans as well as a tux IMHO.

I agree 100% In all fairness though, the Daytona is going to hold it's value much better if you plan on buying them brand new.. but with that being said, I bought my YM used with intention of wearing and keeping - not flipping or selling, for half the price of a Daytona :)

Daytona....hands down. But if this was my 1st watch, it wouldn't be a no-date chrono.

Good luck.

Though I just got a YM I would vote for the Daytona (white dial) because it balances out the "diver" look with something a bit different (chrono).

Absolutely agree which is why I wear a YM with a (new style) Daytona clasp!
