WG Yacht Master vs Daytona - Panda

As the title reads… currently have a WG Yacht Master and thinking about trading it for a Panda Daytona.

Thoughts?

If it’s the Falcon Eye, I wouldn’t do it. If not, then maybe. Sorry. I’m not being much help here.

Boy I would have a hard time doing this. Granted, I have the WG YM 42 and I think it’s far superior to the SS Panda. Don’t get me wrong Daytona’s are great but going from PM to SS (even PM on OF)is hard for me to get my mind around.

Given the option I’d stick with the WG YM but as mentioned by others two great watches

I would stick with the WG YM 42. If you were going for a PM Daytona, then the PM Daytona.

Not a chance. But, I would give some thought to adding the Daytona.

I would keep the WG YM, but I am admittedly not a big fan of the Daytona. It is too busy for my taste.

That said, if you can only keep one, why not trade for the Daytona and spend a few years with it?

I'd keep the WG YM. I find the Daytona small, cluttered and barely legible both for time and chrono.

appreciate everyone’s insight. in a turn of events, made the decision to just keep the WG YM and add the Daytona (116500LN) to the collection as well.

arrives tmrw!

Great choice.
You can always sell one later.
Personally I prefer the YM… I’d love to daily that watch

I love the YM42, it's darn near perfect with its crystal clear legibility and beautiful white gold luster. I found the SS Daytona to be tiny and uninteresting but that's just my wrist and my eye. If you can try both on, I'm sure one will call to you over the other.

I’d rather own the 116500. I found the ym too plain. Daytona OF trumps both
