At retail, I'd take the Daytona. It would definitely get a lot more wear.

Daytona can still be found in so many variations, but the Green Ombre Day-Date is a must-have! I own both of these watches, and trust me, I wear the Ombre a lot more. It simply ticks all the boxes as a classy and sporty watch. However, down the road, you might get offered another dial for the Daytona. But there are not many cool dials in the Day-Date field with yellow gold (lacquer green and ombre).
