I'm surprised no one scored the "Daytona" yet.

I've been thinking about that one. Is this the one you're referring to? Would need to move the Alpina to get it, not sure if I want to do that.

I've almost pulled the trigger on this one a couple times. I should just do it.

Curious to hear how you get along with the screw down chrono pushers. It seems like that could be a bit of a nuisance, although it doesn't sound like many people actually use their chronographs so maybe a non-issue ;)

I have a Seiko Solar Chrono with screw down pushers and I always have them unscrew (unless I'm hitting the pool / beach). I do use the chrono function (or bezel) almost every day, I just like timing my commute and other non trivial stuff.

I have screw down pushers on my Seiko SSCs, not a big deal unless you are often surprised that you need to time something. Image

That silver on looks great, looking forward to hearing the impressions when you get it Joe!

The Fortona looks pretty good. They did a nice job with that one.

Leave them open all the time and just screw them down when you're going to swim or whatever.

I don't think this is a very attractive watch. The lume, in particular, isn't great. However, the ceramic bezel looks better than the Daytona's. It's less bulky, and the numerals are less cartoon looking.
