I have a pool and a hot tub in my backyard so always stuck with "diver" style watches or anything with a screw down crown and at least 100M WR. I used to own a DJ41 briefly and it took daily dips in the pool without a single issue.

And I'm also a "date" guy. Hence why I've never bothered with speedy (nor daytona) in the first place. I've handled it at AD's and like the speedy but due to reasons above, I'll never own it. If I itch for a white dial, I'd rather get the polar Exp2. Speedy only has a single gasket on the non screw down crown giving that 50m WR....and no gaskets on the crown pushers. A accidental push on the crown or failed gasket and watch is RIP in a feet of water.

At $8k, it just becomes a "dress" chrono. If I want a dress chrono, I'd rather get IWC as they pretty much rule in the dress watches segment with some terrific dial designs.
