Haha! For what it's worth I kind of like the Daytona...that being said there's only 1 that I would ever really want to own:
Let's be real here, though, that's just not happening. At least not now.
I like IWC's double chronographs as well but that's a whole new ball game, really. Really though I could be very happy with either the Speedmaser or the IWC chrono, I'd just have to try them on to decide which. And then if they both fit superbly, I'm boned.

Dude, I know you despise Rolex, but that is the "paul newman" daytona. You should check the back of your watch drawer to see if one is hiding out, seeing as they can go for ~$100k

while playing monopoly deal with the Mrs
hope you guys don't mind the many pics, but i personally am left unsatisfied and itching for more when i see some of the watches posted here (hani's alinghi? c4s's roos? swordman's watches? mark's iwc perp, ctzn's watches, and many more examples) because it's a single shot with a straight angle that, tbh, i don't "see" captures the TRUE look of the watch itself. i knew this and was stunned when i saw the iwc perp ME irl and tried it on. was blown away! nothing like the pics
thus, here is an arc-series that i tried to get the gp's colour and width/height from both sides. hope you enjoy.
and i am so sold on the whole use of different materials despite the ridiculous price increase and silly exaggerated marketing. forget aesthetics, they really do preserve the watch's presence and keep it looking brand new! closing in on a yr since purchase
