great Daytona c alternative
I was just at my Omega AD and can’t help but feel they have a wonderful alternative to the Daytona C, really beautiful Speedmaster racing, I’ll be ordering this watch next week it’s beautiful in person, has all the latest features, ceramic bezel, less money and it can actually be purchased! Not my photo, great dial texture that doesn’t quite show here.

There is No Alternative to the Daytona C or any other Daytona...Period!
Any questions...?

You mean you want to buy a chronograph with a date and the ability to use the pushers without unscrewing them??
i don't know about that... |

and a jumping hour hand for quick time zone changes. I can also see what the time is on that one, which completely takes the fun out of ownership...

I’ve been to so many Omega and Tudor ADs and tried on all sorts of Speedy and Tudor Chrono. I just can’t fall in love with them. To OP Congratulations on the purchase of your Speedy. |

I think its beautiful watch. Compared to the Daytona, much better value IMO. Resale not so much, but that is not important to everyone.

Looks great! Post more when it comes in.
I settled for the 40mm Racing as the 44mm looked massive on my wrist. Quote:

Beautiful watch!
This thread got me thinking about this Speedmaster. Better value for money, better price and best of all, it will probably be easier to procure. I've given up on Daytona. |
