I don’t own an AP because I’m not that drawn to the aesthetic. I do own a Daytona, though my preference is not the white dial. But for the purposes of these two watches and specifically these two photos, the AP appears a more pleasing watch on your wrist. It might be a tougher decision if the Daytona had a black dial, but I have a feeling the AP would still have the edge.

AP fits the best and looks like it was born on your wrist

Stellite · 18 October 2019, 12:19 PM

I prefer cleaner dials, so AP it is for me. The Daytona does look great though

002 · 18 October 2019, 12:33 PM

Daytona!

I don't agree that it looks small on you. I thinks it fits perfectly and has Ideal, classic proportions.

Also, I'd go Patek over the AP if thats the style you prefer

wulin · 18 October 2019, 12:35 PM

As much as I love the Daytona, this AP is on another level

epc2 · 18 October 2019, 12:48 PM

This being the Rolex section , I'm Surprised with all the love for the AP.

Seibei · 18 October 2019, 12:53 PM

None of the above.

opaline460 · 18 October 2019, 12:57 PM

Ap

audiophile35 · 18 October 2019, 01:01 PM

AP for sure. I am lucky to have both but feel like I reach for the Daytona a lot more. I swapped the bracelet on the Daytona for a RubberB strap which makes me want to wear it more. AP is definitely dressier. This blue dial is stunning! Having said that - I just got the yellow gold green dial Daytona and damn that one to me is just plain brilliant!

I don’t like the AP. Hands are too thin and blend in with the dial. I don’t like the case. The bracelet is awesome. Candidly, in my view the Daytona is better daily wear watch.

AP not even close. Daytona looks blah can't read it, boring useless tech scale i wanted because its scarce !

AP Royal Oak every day of the week. The Daytona is out-classed in every way.

steeevvvooo · 18 October 2019, 08:05 PM

AP. I've had two WG Daytona (one on bracelet and one on leather) and both didn't last long in my watch box. Now I have an AP ROC as my "luxury sports watch" and much prefer it, as does my son!

I still debate whether to trade the AP for something else so perhaps it's not a keeper but it offers something different IMO. Plus... The Daytona wears too small I think.IMG_28042019_081004_(2500_x_2500_pixel).jpg MVIMG_20190829_171821.jpg

I wear based on function due to my job, and so function is usually how I decide. Do you need/use the chrono? Do you need a date function? How about activity level? Daytona will hold up better. If you don’t need the chrono (it’s almost impossible to read anyway) I may go AP in this case especially if you wear your watches like most here and keep it on the sideline for most actual sporting activities and where it may procure a scratch or two.

Mlioon · 18 October 2019, 10:48 PM

I have had both (Daytona not ceramic) and out of the 2 I only still have the Daytona. I think it is worlds more comfortable, but actually liked the way the RO looked better. Every time I wore the RO, I just couldn’t make it comfortable on my wrist.

123Blueface · 18 October 2019, 10:51 PM

Ap

brandrea · 18 October 2019, 10:53 PM

A poll would’ve been fun, but it looks like the AP is running away with this.

Waxtactic · 18 October 2019, 10:59 PM

First go w/ what you need.

Personally I'd go Daytona. Great look, functionality for everything from smoking ribs to timing basic day to day things. I also feel like you could get it, wear it and if you find you don't care for it, you can sell it, take the money and apply it to the AP. You'd then spend less overall to acquire the AP. I'm not advocating flipping (I despise flippers), but it remains an option.

AJMarcus · 18 October 2019, 11:01 PM
