Best Daytona Homage?

[MRB123]

What’s the best modern Daytona homage out currently? Is there a sterile Noob (current model) out that doesn’t have Rolex branding?

I don't think it exist a sterile homage of the Daytona. Not good quality ones. ..
you can find "Parnis" or " Bliger" Daytona homage on aliexpress but nothing to see with Noob quality!
these homages have meca quartz "vk " movement....

Rotary, Orient, Parnis, Steinhart - the usual suspects. My own thoughts are you should skip the homage thing altogether. If you’re buying a cheap copy of the original you may as well get a more accurate copy with a copy of the logo on it as well.

I wonder if the sterile brands will eventually start using the noob? Wasn’t that the case for some subs?

I’ve got a gen 126710 Pepsi so people wouldn’t question me too much if I wore a rep, but I generally avoid it now. I figure nearly $700 on a rep could be put toward getting the real Daytona that my AD could likely source in under a year for me.

Or buy a rep and spend the change on something fun a motorcycle or a boat

Alpha Watch has decent vintage Daytona homages, they come with the Seagull ST1903 movement based on the Venus hand wind column wheel chronograph, I have some of them and are nice for the price.
