Great video! I have that very two tone Daytona. It is really beautiful and substantial. I love it and it competes with my Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4520v Silver Dial for the most wrist time in my collection.
Great comparison, especially with two white dials, which feel like the "it" dial, taking over "green" and former "tiffany blue" trends. Great video as always!!!
Advantage of manual wind over an automatic: I like to wear a different watch during the daytime from the one (my Speedmaster) that I like to wear at night ( because of its easy-to-read long lasting lume. If my Speedmaster were automatic, it would not get wound enough by my movements when I'm in bed. And if it also had a screw-down crown (as most automatics now seem to have), I'd probably wear out that screwdown crown to manually wind an automatic watch (that is only worn at night).
I should clarify that the Daytona just feels a bit thicker. Spec wise, the Speedmaster is the thicker watch but a lot of that is attributed to the domed crystal while the bezel stays flat.
My current collection is all stainless steel watches but I've been considering recently getting a 2-tone Daytona, GMT or older Day-Date. As someone with all of those in your collection, when do you wear those over your SS watches? I'm sure 2-tone/PM gets more attention from others vs SS but curious if that stops you from wearing them as often as you'd like. I'm just concerned that if I end up buying a 2-tone/PM watch that I'll be too self-conscious of it when wearing it or worried that its too flashy that I end up never wearing it.
I’ve actually been wearing my two tone DJ daily for the past few weeks. If I knew I’d be so comfortable in two tone I probably wouldn’t have got so much SS early in my collecting.
Lots of women wearing the Daytona these days due to its smaller size. Still a nice watch. Too small for me though for the money. Once thay make a Daytona with the same dimensions as the Speedy I will be all over it.
Great comparison! Love the reference to the optical difference in the way the Speedy actually sits on wrist, compared to the Daytona (which is technically thinner). Would you say there are any differences between the tactile feel of the pushers on the Speedy and the Daytona?
They both have a pretty distinct “clicking” feel when the pushers are depressed. I would say that the Daytona’s is a bit smoother in that sense but not by enough to make note of it.
@casualdudereviews thanks for the review! yeah I raised the qns because there have been so much complaint about Omega staying with a cam lever mechanism for the Speedy rather than switch to a movement with a column wheel mechanism. Yet I've tested a number of column wheel chronos (Glassbox, Al Primeros, Carrera Chrono, GP Laureato Chrono) vs the Speedy. And as far as the 1861 and 3861 movements are concerned, you really can't feel any noticeable difference between in tactility between a column wheel and the Speedy's cam lever. Ah well, some of us do complain about a chrono not using column wheel just because of the perceived value of column wheels. On that note, I wld also say that the 1800 and 3800 series movements have been fine-tuned to not have any noticeable "jump" in the chrono-hand on first actuation despite using a horizontal clutch. With other horizontal clutch chronos, yes you often see the the initial "jump". But not with the 1800 and 3800 movements.
Mmmm I am not into luxury/jewellery, which I dislike. It would have to be steel.. and 1960s, which is what I am collecting, which basically means pitting the 321 against the exotic dial Paul Newman. While unable to pay for the awesome Paul Newman, it would still be the 321 that would win, which is and will forever remain my grail as it brings up all my childhood memories when I wear my 1967 one.
The Daytona is definitely not thicker than the Speedmaster. Per Omega the Speedmaster is 13.6mm while the Daytona is 11.9mm. I have this same white dial Speedy and a steel Daytona. Both awesome watches, but I would always lean towards the Daytona if I could only have one.
You’re correct. Sorry if I didn’t clarify in the video but I meant the Speedmaster feels thinner due to its form factor. A lot of the thickness on the Speedy comes from the domed crystal whereas the bezel lays flat.
You are confusing the thickness of the SMP300 with the thickness of the Speedmaster. The thickness of the seamaster is the one that's 13.6mm. The thickness of the speedmaster is 13.2 mm thick. So Daytona is still significantly thinner but your thickness specs for the speedmaster is still wrong. This is listed on Omega's website as well.
@@steelsteez6118 Omega's stated measurements (as with most watchmakers that communicate them), are off. I've personally measured one at 13.5, some channels measure it between 13.4-13.7. Depends on your calipers and calibration, etc as we're talking small margins. Either way I haven't seen a single actual measurement at the 13.2mm Omega states.

Sounds like you have a great collection!
White lacquer dial Speedmaster FTW! (I’m biased since it’s what I have and the Rolex AD laughed when I asked for a Panda)
I also wear it with the rubber straps and it looks pretty cool, as well.
The Speedy is super versatile. It looks good on everything!

Thank you so much!

you got to get more ACTIVE in bed. ;-)~
Great comparison! First time I’ve ever seen or heard the Daytona as thicker than the Speedy.

A Panda would be a better comparison to the Speedy. The two tone is really divisive…you either love it or hate it.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a stainless steel Daytona. Just using it to illustrate the functionality.
hell of watch that Omega.
Speedmaster is stunning!

Enjoying all the recent watch comparison videos you've been putting out recently though!

Thanks for that comparison!
Thanks for watching!
Rolly Rules!!😂😂❤❤❤
SPEEDY ALL DAY!
I like the size of the Daytona

@@casualdudereviewsOverall do you prefer the speedy or the Daytona?
@@DarylChangs if I had to pick one I’d probably go with the Speedy. I just love the heritage of it and it’s extremely versatile.

18:18 "A customer " ? Do you have your own watch store or sell watches online?
I don’t! This is my personal collection.
Daytona is too small me, Speedy and Navitimer wins
I love the Navitimer but I felt like it was too big for me. I was bummed when I tried it on because I love a good pilot watch.
Sorry don’t like the white Dail on the omega
Subdails hard to read
Daytona is so small.
Yea when I saw one in person for the first time I was shocked how small they are compared to photos
That Daytona is peak tackiness. So gaudy looking with that color combo.
Gotta have some tacky watches in the collection.
Rolex the best
No comparison
It is like comparing a Ferrari with a BMW.
Daytona 126503 wins.
That Rolex is fugly. Tacky to the max. If Louis XIV were alive, he’d love it.
