5. Chronograph pusher slightly bigger for easy operation
My pick will be the 126500LN Panda

And it is this mix of tribute that I find actually ends up workings against the new Daytona. Dial like a Zenith (sans the centered subdials), outer ring like a 4 digit and then a new case - so you end up with a weird mix of different era Daytonas mashed into one.
Point 3 and 4 are kind of the same - the new case. Here I strongly prefer the old case which goes way back in design. For me, that is paying tribute to the older Daytona’s but of course YMMV.
Regarding point 5, I don’t personally know anyone that has trouble using the old pushers (but I know plenty that don’t use the chronograph at all due to the screw down pushers though).
