Great question!

Based on the OP post (and current collection), the Daytona (assuming Ceramic).

In terms of head-on, the 15450 is a better watch (in my view).

As a one-watch-only option, the Daytona.

Here’s the thing...I adore the Royal Oak, and the 15450 is my favourite variant! I know that’s unpopular, and it should be the 15202, but I happen to think the dimensions of the 15450 are perfect on all but the biggest wrists (although to hold in your hand the 15202 is better, but that isn’t what we do with a watch). But...I spent months saving for a Royal Oak, and then they announced the 116500, and with two minutes of the announcement I had ordered the Daytona and put the AP on ice!

I now have two 15450’s (silver dial and blue dial), and one Daytona (the 116500 has been and gone, and I have the 116519LN). But if I could only have one watch of any of the watches in the world, it would be the 116500.

So, OP should go Pepsi! But if you can decipher the rest of my ramblings AND work out whether I like the 15450 or the Daytona the most, you’re a better man or woman than me!!
