I'd still pick the 16520 among the two in the pictures though as I don't like the late 14790 variants with short hour markers which make the watch smaller than it is. I'd definitely go for an earlier model with long hour markers if 14790 or any other small RO.

Yeah I totally agree with this. Normally I would always choose the Royal Oak over a Daytona, but the MK3 dial of the 14790 just always feels off for me. If it was the MK1 or 2 I would’ve said the Royal Oak.
Regarding size, this was a mens model and it all depends on your wrist size and if you like large or smaller watches. The 36mm 14790 wears pretty large, obviously due to the integrated bracelet. It feels like a 38mm, so close enough to the Daytona in size. My wrists are 18.5cm and for me the 36mm didn’t feel small.
