I would rather have a second time zone and the date on the Daytona instead of a "Units per Hour" on the bezel. What do the Forum member think?
I think it would've called a GMT Master instead of a Daytona if it has the date and second time zone functions/complications.. Oh hang on a tick.....

Very handy function to have, I switch watches daily (sometimes more than once a day), and would love to be able to glance down and see the amount of reserve left on the watches. Then I could give a quick winding to those that are low, so they're ready to go.
Yes, I have tried winders but have not had luck with them, I prefer to hand wind.

Let us not forget the Yacht-Master II, which has a programmable countdown function.

x2! I'll cry if they put a date on the daytona and bastardize it .lol however, I do feel if you want a date on a chrono buy an AP ROC, Omega Speedmaster, Breitling, JLC, tons of other different brand and hundreds of options....I think that is also what makes the daytona stand out!
