On the other hand, while robust and a great movement, there is nothing particularly special about the current movement inside the Daytona. Moreover, you likely will be able to buy the Ed White, as opposed to having to play the Rolex game.
That said, if I had the money, I would choose A.

I would too, and will.
I think a lot of the thing is that some people like people to see what’s on their wrist. A non wis will likely recognise a Daytona. No one apart from a wis will know what an Ed white is. It will just be an omega.
To some that perception matters - and that’s fine. The price point is what it is, but it’s hand built and will likely be release in much less numbers a year than the Daytona
