The Chrono Trio - Daytona vs 321 VS AP38

[rmlovett1]

As a first or one and only chrono for me personally, I’d go Daytona.
I’d add the AP next , then the Omega.

I'm going Daytona and Speedy here, but it's mostly due to comfort. I've tried on a few 38-39" AP's and I don't find the modern watches comfortable (coming from someone with a smaller wrist). I also prefer the design and look of the Rolex and Omega. The 321 is amazing.

I prefer the Daytona.

Daytona > Speedy > AP

[Driver8]

For these particular variants I'd say -

321 > Daytona > AP

The 321 is just a very special thing if horological history means anything to you. And this particular AP is in last place for me for two personal reasons - I can't stand 4:30 date positions, and I don't like how that particular AP runs an outsourced movement (even if it is a very good Frederic Piguet movement). Which leaves the Daytona in the middle.

The 321 for me, but I can’t be objective

Omega is too thick at 14mm, and design wise needs a modern update. The aesthetic is too vintage.

AP is a work of art, but they couldn’t center the date window between the hour indices because they used an external movement. For a $35k watch, it deserves an in house designed movement to make that date window centered.

13mm Speedy, 100m water resistance, Enamel dial, and built like a tank.

AP. I have the Daytona and the AP and the AP is on another level as far as fit and finish are concerned. Perfect size (subjective, of course) and incredibly comfortable.

I have the enamel speedy, it is truly special and very underrated.

The blue panda AP in the flesh is one of the most beautiful dials I have seen.

AP>321>Daytona for me.

[Polarexplorerii]

AP looks awesome.

[T.Stanley]

AP, Daytona, 321.

[cornsyrup_bezel]

321, Daytona, AP as long as i have something i'd feel comfortable swimming with. i find AP chronos less ergonomic on my wrist.

[Miker86]

321 for me.

[Gearjockey]

321 EW

Never considered the other 2 but they look nice.

Damn things are hard to come by.

I love Daytonas, and the 321 might still be tops for me.

I own both the 116500 and the 321. The 321 feels more special to me. The Speedy is rarer than the Daytona, has understated yet timeless good looks, and is powered by a movement with such heritage. The sapphire case back lets you see the 321's incredible finishing, with each movement assembled by a single watchmaker. Most people won't know it's any different from a standard Speedmaster, but IYKYK. It's the watch enthusiast's choice of the 3.

I don’t have the AP; I’ve got a 116500 white and the 321. I love the Daytona, and also love my 321; Daytona wins for me. Not interested in APs in general….

[subprimero]

321, AP, Daytona.

321, Daytona, AP. Unscrewing pushers? Chonky pushers? Pass

[salnuaimi]

Didnt expect this participation in the thread neither the results

Today was rocking the 321 . Was very much skeptical at first when i got. But wearability of it. The feeling it gives is top class

Nice . I put the new Speedmaster adjustable bracelet on mine. Makes a big difference over the bulky original one.

Thats awesome. I put mine on the apollo 11 50th Ann flatlink bracelet and it really elevated the watch. The thinness of the case goes very well with the flatlink bracelet.

I have a 116500 and am wearing my 1861 Speedmaster today, the APs do nothing for me. I wouldn’t mind having a 321 but not enough to jump through the hoops needed to get one.
