Incoming..... Better than Daytona!?!?!
I shared this at Omega community—and I want to share this here aswell:
I’ve experienced many chrono-watches: Rolex Daytona (platinum, steel, TT...), different variations of a Moonwatch... now I got this racing Speedmaster. I have to say: The best chrono that I’ve ever had. My favourite Speedmaster so far! Well... that modern, close to original Moonwatch with hesalite is very close.. But for example Daytona: the dials are just too small for my older eyes. This racing Speedmaster; the size, quality, legibility, colours.... Simply perfect! Just incredible movement..... Wooooow!!!!

Very nice. Used to have the black and orange one for a while and it is a great looking watch.

In my opinion it's a much better value than a Daytona. I'm very tempted to get this one myself but have no room in my collection because it's too close to my white 116500.
Awesome piece, congratulations! |

Thanks! The subdials on the Daytona are just way too small for me; legendary watch, but can’t see the time!! I enjoy a lot this Speedmaster!! The dial.. crisp&clear, I can see everything even in the darker lighting... the white colour reminds me of GS snowflake somehow; just pure Art! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats. Love mine. It’s the best Speedy in Omega’s catalogue.

I would not say it's the better value than Daytona, the price graph is clear.
But it's the chronograph that can be actually used for measuring time |

Beautiful watch, and great close up photos of that beautiful dial. Love the racing style minute track as well. After seeing you pics, I think it's a model I should pay more attention to.
I'm sure the Daytona is a superb watch, but I have never personally been a fan of it. So this one would get my vote for sure. Lovely texture on that dial for sure. Congratulations! Cheers, Carl

I love this one, but the fact that no one seems capable of discussing it without using the word "Daytona" has always turned me away from it...

Thanks! Yeah: I can truly recommend this Speedmaster! And you don’t have to wait for 8 years to get one or spend tens of thousands of dollars/euros for some other watches to get one... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
