DD for damn sure! Not to mention a SS Daytona can be had for $35K range.
I own one and love it, but would never buy it at 35. Go for the President

SS Daytona is a fantastic watch, but not at 40k.

I’d go DD President.

Daytona is nothing but hype. DD40 is easily the better piece

As a current “Panda” owner I would really have had a hard time spending $40k for one. A sold gold president on the other hand….
