In Response To: Not Sure About the Daytona Comparison . . . ()

Well don't take me to0 "literally" Jeff...

However when i wear my Big Red 6263 Daytona i think it's a beautiful watch but is slightly too small, although the screw pushers help.

So to me the 2446 Autavia Panda is (to me, and maybe me only) a Heuer version of a Daytona, but a bit more satisfyingly chunky (40mm across bezel not 37.something) and shares many design similarities. For me a "Daytona" style needs to have a bezel which rules out a Carrera and if i'm honest, all the watches i love have bezels... Perhaps it's a personal thing, we can all see different things ;-)

Either way i love both, but marginally the Autavia wins and will get more wear due to value and size.
