RG DAYTONA OFLEX or SS AP RO CHRONO

[Rodolfo_4]

I want them both, they are basically the same price, around 26k

But what will you get first?

My small colection is of 2 GMTs

TT GMT YG
BLRO GMT

[RHIII]

ROC - period

And Thanh is a great guy!!

ROC is my choice here.

2 rolex and 1 ap would be great for variety personally for the newer roc version I'd prefer going with panda dial or even previous model's black dial. But then the rg daytona will be a PM which will also be something different. Hmmmm... tough choice what about 15400or?

About the 15400, it is a nice watch, but i think the dial is to simple,

That is why i really want to go with the chrono

I am also considering the panda, but havent got the chance to see it in the flesh,

I got to see the blue one, and it is really special

The RG daytona on the oyster flex, is also something else, when you get to try it on

Roc

AP ROC. We’re the choice between the WG Daytona and the ROC, I’d have a harder time deciding, but the finishing on the ROC is really striking

Agreed, I have the full rg daytona and still is tempted to added the daytona or OF and ceramic bezel honestly If I were u I'd add the daytona never thought I's like it as much as I do. My ap and hulk have much less wrist time. The daytona with ceramic bezel will be a nice worry free PM watch that'll go with anything as well while the ap will be a watch u'll have to wear with caution.

The ROC without question.

[Mr.WorldTimer]

Personally I prefer the dials of the YG and WG oyster flex Daytonas, that being said of all the rose dials, you chose imo the best!

I have the pleasure of owning both an oysterflex daytona and the previous version (41mm blue dial) SS chrono. Speaking truthfully, I found the AP chrono to be very bulky and thick. I also am not crazy about the movement either for several reasons:
1) not in-house
2) known to have reliability issues
3) sometimes when pushing in the crown it will jump a minute forward (intermittent problem)

I prefer the size of the Rolex daytona, it fits more comfortable, in my eyes the dial pops more and the lack of date window lends itself to a more balance and well proportioned dial.

Now I must state that I do like my SS AP Chrono, I deliver harsh criticisms only because you have presented a choice between the two. I felt after owning both and having a clear winner in mind I should share exactly why.

I'm pretty sure AP ROC is inhouse movement..

Daytona for my vote ��

Thanks for the insight

It is really a tough choice, specially because of the SS VS PM debate

I love my BLRO, because it is a rare piece, but my TT gmt is still my favorite, because of the yg-SS contrast

From hodinkee,

“I should also mention that the primary “watch nerd” complaint against the chronograph is that it does not use an integrated chronograph movement. What this means is that the movement is essentially an AP 3120 self-winding caliber as found in the 15400 with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module sandwiched on top. This makes the Offshore, inherently, a thicker watch, and less desirable to the purists out there. Perhaps the easiest way to see this chief complaint is to look at the date window of an Offshore. Notice how sunken it is into the dial? But, turn the watch over and you have AP's lovely 3120 starting at you.”

No it’s an F Piguet movement, which is now Blancpain and owned by Swatch. I believe there are rumors about an in house chrono coming soon.

That’s the Offshore chrono. Different movement than the Royal Oak chrono.

[GentleMonster]

You already have 2 Rolex. I would nudge you to take the AP ROC. The wow factor is strong with the AP :)

I was immediately sold when I looked at the bracelet. Too bad my small wrist can’t take the 41mm APs, else the ROC would already be in my collection.

[s14roller]

Roc

[Chadridv]

as much as I love the daytona on OF I think you should give the AP a try. And if Thanh Do still has that one available, I'd jump all over it.

[Carry The Interest]

There are situations where I would give the win to the RO over a Rolex alternative. This is not one of them -- between these two, I'd go with that Daytona. Stunning configuration. Perhaps consider the WG on OF with ceramic bezel as well?

[blacke90]

Based on your collections, I would proceed with the AP.

Factually, the ROC at 11mm, is thinner than the 12.4mm Daytona.

[Double Barrel]

Obviously the daytona is the better choice here. Wait for the in house movement for the ROC

Please pay special attention to the phrase "I found". I did not mean my writing to come across as a declaration on which watch is on technical spec thicker. I meant it more as how I FOUND the watch to handle and fit while wearing. It is a very bulky watch compared to the Daytona at least with regards to how it sat on MY wrist.

I love Rolex rose, it's such a warm wonderful colour. I hope you satisfy your dilemma!

No sir. I wish that were the case.

[jonathan17]

Dont get that AP ROC, get an AP chrono when they realease the new movement(non-integrated) then it will be worth it.
