That'd be tough I agree.

I do love that watch, but this panda dial just speaks a little bit more to me:)

If not, between these two and ignoring everyone else, I'd go for the DJII. Something about the panda white dial and TT doesn't do it for me.

Good luck with the choice!

Panda Daytona looks great, but the TT Champagne dial DJ41 has really caught my eye twice now in the ADs when I went to look at other watches... really thinking about one now.

Most people would see the Daytona as more desirable, but I have no use for the complications. Your DJ41 is a beautiful watch, classic in every way, but then again I wear a DJ (36) TT and would love to get a 41 as well. Of course, my best recommendation is keep them both, each is a beauty in its own right and hardly superfluous, but if that's not an option, I'd suggest keeping the DJ41.

Chris,
Your forearms look like you're thin and in shape/work out but your jeans look like you haven't seen a gym since jr. high PE class.

This is no disrespect, but since you asked about the watch/attire - you gotta know that you'd be doing yourself a big service to go buy a few pairs of Levis 512.

A newer cut, slim taper but not too skinny.

Your belt? Although I'm about a cute pair of Levis jeans I'm not about a chunky Levis belt. Ferragamo makes a good looking belt that's not too fancy like the Hermes or Gucci belt with big H or Gucci logo. I'd look into getting some cuter belts.

I know this is not what you were looking for when you said any opinions appreciated but hopefully you'll appreciate it.

Wow...well ok then
all good
You've pretty much nailed some things...
I workout hard..daily. Lean/athletic build, legs are muscular, not bulky.
I like Levi's and have worn the loose fit cut for a long time, but have recently purchased some 502's normal cut, normal taper.
I have other belts, but these, being very casual, go with the leather driving Mocs I usually wear. I suppose thinner would be good too:) no big H or G logos needed.
now which watch??? Lol

Datejust. IMO, chronographs from any brand look alike and that includes the Daytona. Once I see prominent sub dials, my eyes glaze over and the watch blends into the crowd and is not distinctive. I do realize that I'm in the minority! and that the Daytona is revered...but the typical chronograph look doesn't work for me.

Good luck with your choice.
