That said, I am in the market for a yellow gold Daytona with the zenith movement!


Actually I would argue that the Daytona specifically doesn’t look like just any other chronograph, especially to non WIS. IMO that, along with the case size, is why it’s so popular with women who seem to be able to spot a Daytona from a distance of 20feet or more. If you put a Speedmaster on a woman’s wrist it looks too chunky whereas the Daytona looks perfect (IMO).
