So I've decided that I eventually want two of these three; the new Rolex Daytona, the new VC Overseas in blue, or the AP Royal Oak 'Jumbo'. I'd love to have all three but it's not practical IMO (the third watch will most likely be Cartier Drive). I'm mostly rotating b/w my Reverso Duo Blue a Rolex GMT II BLNR at this point.

Daytona
Pros: Perfect size, beautiful dial
Cons: PCL's & polished case; difficulty to acquire

AP Jumbo
Pros: beautiful design IMO
Cons: haven't been able to try one on (I have tried on a different 39mm AP RO which fir well); blue dial isn't as vibrant as I'd prefer; $$$

VC Overseas
Pros: Included extra straps & quick change mechanism; a vibrant blue dial (from pics at least)
Cons: not many that I can think of other than a slightly smaller case?

Which of these 3 would you go with? (excluding price as a factor as I realize that there is about a ten grand difference in price b/w the AP & Daytona). Please vote in the poll as well!

Because threads are always better with pics:

AP and Daytona, easy

tkerrmd · 13 May 2016, 11:42 AM

I would start with the Daytona and then still see if you want to ever wear any other watch

Hollister · 13 May 2016, 11:48 AM

I wouldn't make a decision like this based on a poll in a single manufacture-centric forum because loads of people with Daytonas will very likely vote for their own choice.

Nothing wrong with the Daytona btw, but because I already have an El Primero Zenith chronograph, I would choose AP and VC. Particularly if you are paying!

locutus49 · 13 May 2016, 11:49 AM

Daytona. Then an AP if you still want one.

nymsportf30 · 13 May 2016, 11:54 AM

Daytona and AP without a doubt! Btw I like your choice for a third. The Cartier drive is beautiful.

Jumbo and Daytona

Timesurfer · 13 May 2016, 12:02 PM

Daytona

BJHofkin · 13 May 2016, 12:05 PM

Royal Oak and Overseas are similar to the point that you probably want to choose only one of those, which means the Daytona gets chosen by default.

The Royal Oak has history and an iconic design on its side, but don't sleep on the new Overseas. Wait till it's out this summer then go see it in person before deciding.

1st Daytona 2nd Ap

Ckci · 13 May 2016, 01:10 PM

Daytona and AP. I have VC OC which I like quite a bit as well.image.jpg
And 3 Daytona's and on the list for the ceramic version as is every other TRF'er.

RinkRolex · 13 May 2016, 01:14 PM

Quite interested in the new 2000v. That and the 16520 would be ideal for me.

Breadstickz · 13 May 2016, 01:48 PM

I love the new overseas but if only two I think the Daytona and jumbo make a great pair. If money's no object though there's the new ultra thin overseas in Wg which is just amazing.

Wcdhtwn · 13 May 2016, 01:59 PM

Any combo would be great. I voted Daytona and VC, Daytona gives you sporty, but the AP you selected is also sporty looking. The VC though seems to be more versatile, at least in these pictures, and strikes me as the better dress up watch than the AP. The Daytona and VC covers more bases, stating it simply.

Another for the Daytona and AP.

Cru Jones · 13 May 2016, 03:19 PM

I really like the new Overseas, but wouldn't pick it over the Jumbo or with the Jumbo over the new (all-black) Daytona, so, AP and Daytona it is (but, I would ideally have all 3).

lig · 13 May 2016, 03:25 PM

Daytona + AP for me.

Evo6 · 13 May 2016, 03:39 PM

I've been really thinking about the new Overseas lately, I love blue dial watches and the Jumbo, as exquisite as it is has a bluish grey dial in the metal.
Also I like my watches to have at least 100M of water resustance and the Jumbo only tops out at 50 Vs. 150 for the VC. Add in the three included bracelet/straps and it presents a very intriguing package if the dial is as deep and luscious a blue as it appears in pics.

singe89 · 13 May 2016, 03:46 PM

Daytona for daily and AP for dressier occasions.

BNA/LION · 13 May 2016, 03:51 PM

AP & Daytona

rebel_1 · 13 May 2016, 09:04 PM

AP & Daytona without a doubt.

kilyung · 13 May 2016, 09:38 PM

I'm going to make a bold prediction. Rolex + AP will win.

AK797 · 13 May 2016, 09:55 PM

Daytona and AP ROO are next on my list.

GB-man · 13 May 2016, 11:38 PM

Have to agree with the majority. VC gets the boot.

Danny83 · 13 May 2016, 11:40 PM

Daytona

Rogdogg · 13 May 2016, 11:52 PM

subtona · 13 May 2016, 11:55 PM

Daytona and AP Jumbo. Two timeless and complimentary choices.

The VC is in way over his head in this company... In the deep end not knowing how to swim and all his pockets are filled with nickels.
