Much prefer the platona. Not a fan of that much gold, even if it fit on my wrist.

If you are considering a Platinum Daytona versus an AP and post thread here in Rolex forum then of course you want the Daytona. If you truly wanted AP you would have posted in AP forum. Of course most people here will say Rolex over AP just like in AP forum they would say AP or if in Patek section they would say Patek. Don't have to look at any poll results here to know the outcome.

Daytona wins over an ALS or PP Double Split in these neck of the woods... Even am Air King would win over a Jumbo here.

I'd say Platona. To me, the Daytona is just a nice design.

It wouldn't win easily in the right neutral sub forum.

I vote Platona, the AP is just too much for me, esp on bracelet.
