Don’t like the small 6 o’clock subdial on the AP. Strange design choice.

AP are nicer in terms of fit and finish but Rolex are more robust and reliable. However, both can coexist nicely in any collection. If I were forced to choose one, I would choose the AP

The ROC has prominence on any wrist. The Daytona certainly stands out but I think the AP is the winner here.

The new ROCs are better finished, and have more dial combos, esp if you like blue they have nailed it with contrasting silver subdials, but it does wear wide, more like a 42/3mm, as opposed to the 38/9mm feel of the Daytona, which with its smaller size and CE you can wear anywhere at any time.
You have right with ROC 38mm.
I speake yesterday with my AP AD and he tell me the new ROC 38mm it’s like 39-39,5mm.
So I think can be a true competition btw this two.
IMO AP win this time.

With a rubber strap option for the 26331st ROC; I think it edges out the daytona.

I find the Rolex is a great even beautiful watch... until you try on the AP or PP... then it goes to being more a good and rock solid watch.

AP in this case. Daytona is nice and I'm waiting for my white dial ceramic, but AP is on another level. Wrist presence and finishing can't be matched by Rolex.
