Let's continue the Eyecandy threads. I'll start:

Modern Daytona Seconds at '6. The "2001 model" with white dial & champagne subdials. The only modern Daytona anyone should even consider. :) I had a great pleasure and honor to review this legendary rep for the community. Thanks again Stephane!

The Omega Broad Arrow. Another legendary rep. I bought this watch twice.

Reduced Speedmaster rep. This inaccurate but very nice rep was in my possession for a week. I traded it because I was going to buy the full size Moon Watch. That's still on my wishlist.

At the moment I don't have either a Speedmaster or a Daytona, but here are some old shots:

Seagull ST-19 powered Daytona 6263, very well made watch.

Looks quite close for my eye.. I have never understood the "asymmetrical pushers issue"

Vintage, 1972, Omega Speedmaster Mark II. Heavier style than the original Speedie, same movement.

All vintage gen Daytonas (prior to the 16520 release in the late 1980s) were powered by the Valjoux 72 base movement. The pushers on these movements were spaced unevenly (asymmetrically) from the centered crown. This picture illustrates the difference
