i have a daytona.

get the daytona.

i don't get why they're the same price though....

a non-gold daytona is 10K.
a non-gold oyster is like 3K (granted this one has few diamonds, but still...)

lol...


this daytona is $28,000. 18ct white gold. yellow gold is actually cheaper...and stainless steel is really really cheap.


day date is $27,000. 18ct white gold. also it's cheaper to get yellow gold (but i think yellow gold is tacky) and they do not have stainless steel version...so i'm not sure what you are referring to.

Neither - get a new and used IWC. Get all the quality without the "advertising" factor.

I don't know anything about watches, so everything is IMO. Get the first one. It is a more universal color and looks more formal, and it will go with more things.

i wouldn't pay 27,000 cents for the top one.....too pedestrian.

I prefer the Daytona. I'm not big on the diamond markers of the other. I also prefer the chronograph face (multiple dials).

It's just my $.02, but I'd never pay that much for something made out of white gold. I know it's becoming more and more acceptable, but the issue of wear and having it plated with rhodium periodically bothers me.

That said, I like the first watch. There is nothing worse than an expensive watch that looks like something I
