If I had the choice between the two, and even if they were the same price, I'd be all over the YM like a fat kid on a cupcake. I love that reference!

It ended yesterday. I succeeded to catch both watches in the shop at the same time.

It's true saying that you need to try Yacht-Master and not judge from pictures. It's f****g gorgeous.
And Daytona did nothing for me.

So, I returned home like this:

Congrats! Great choice. That is my favorite YM! That blue dial and red second hand and writing is so cool looking.

I'd have said "Daytona" as the white ceramic model is THE Daytona for me. I'd even take it over the Platona.

daytona without question...
the YM in my opinion is just way too blingy especially with that platinum bezel

YM w/ platinum dial, the YM w/ blue dial makes the watch look smaller.

Guys, selection is made and money paid. And I don't need cobblestone on my wrist - I already had a Panerai :)
