Daytona has my vote but I love the busier dial and polished ceramic bezel.

For me it’s no contest at all that Daytona has the best looking dial of all Daytona’s.

I vote for the Daytona but I have both and the 126655 looks great also in the summer on tanned skin. But I think the YM is very undervalued in quotation.

Had both - kept the Daytona because it’s the better watch. Also, wife told me YM looked like a Michael Kors watch and I couldn’t unsee it lol

Look forward to hearing your input.

Both would be nice. I guess the Daytona, but I really like the YM too…

Both would be great to own. I'd take which ever presented the greater opportunity to acquire.

Daytona. That combination with ceramic bezel, dial and subdials is pretty special.

I used to think the YM as I had a boss with very tan skin who it looked amazing on, however it didn’t pop
When I tried it on. So I went with this, the brother of the Daytona in question!

116519 vs 116655....battle of the precious metal/oysterflex combo

Daytona

But ultimately I prefer the RG version with chocolate dial…. Yum Yum!

Daytona for me, the contrast works so much better. But I wouldn't mind a YM either way can't go wrong.
