Of those the only one that gets me going is the Daytona; go for it.

I would go with either one of the divers. I don't like Tachymeter bezels. I don't even know how to use one and they look very cluttered. Although I don't dive I can still use the diver bezel to time things.

Now of the two divers that is a very personal choice as to me they make two different statements. One has a very classy vintage look where as the other is a very modern tool/diver watch.

For me personally for the reasons mentioned above and other lifestyle reasons: Pelagos.

Lots of good advice. I guess since the options are really apples and oranges, the question is which do you want the most. If it is the Daytona, buying something else because you can get gratification sooner will not work. You will just be 3k further away from the Daytona. If you like them all the same, I think the 2 Tudors and a Speedy is a pretty good suggestion.

For the one watch guy (or newly convinced Rolex afficinado) with the need for speed (or just to to time it) the Daytona is a benchmark. For the user of a dive watch and water active individual think the Tudors are fantastic, but Rolex can do this for you in various iterations as well. As mentioned somewhere else, get the one you truly want, even if you have to save a bit more and hunt a bit further, that saves money in the end.

I wouldn't say significantly...there is a difference, though. It's a great watch.

As I am not a Daytona fan, one of the few on this forum, I'd get the Black Bay Black.
