Considering the forum you're in, I suspect an overwhelming majority of "Daytona" answers... I, however, prefer the AP!

Between those two, AP without a doubt. It would be better to choose between the AP and the WG daytona on oyster flex as they have more in common. In that case the daytona wins.

You're in good shape regardless! Both extremely comfortable. Daytona more classic in size and form while the 44 is modern and masculine.

Both are stunning, I own an AP 44 and my wife has the white face Daytona c.

The AP is an amazing sports watch, no brand other than RM produce a watch that looks as cool.

The Daytona is a beautiful looking watch but on looks alone it's not in the same league as a sports watch. However it depends how you'd wear it, if you want to wear it with a suit I'd recommend the Daytona but for very casual wear I personally went with the AP 44.

Hard to say without knowing your collection. If this is to be an only watch, Daytona hands down.

I own both and for me the AP Ti is great weekend watch. The Daytona is a great daily watch. If I wanted a fun weekend watch AP for sure. If I wanted a daily wearer than 116500 for sure. Of course as my man Mike aka Kilyung says "Both always".

Tough call. I'd probably go Daytona, but I've never tried on that AP

I have the DaytonaC and I am considering the "both" option.
Have not seen the new Ti in the flesh, but that is going to change tomorrow as my local AD has one in stock.
But I do love my 116500.

Very hard choice can't go wrong with either. I would pick AP over Daytona though.

The right answer here is BOTH! If that is not an option, then the AP first and buy a Daytona down the road.

Daytona 116500 LN. Because it's Daytona and makes its own movement and last but not least it's a product made by my favorite brand named Rolex

Not being a fan of titanium, I'd have to pick the Daytona.

However, if the choice was the Daytona versus a steel AP ROO, I would definitely go with the AP.

Nothing in the offshore range does anything for me so I vote Daytona. Now if we are talking about the AP 26320ST or the new 26331ST then it wins every day of the week.

The Daytona has to have the pushers unscrewed to use the chrono function which hinders it I think. The AP can be used instantly. However, the Daytona has much better water resistance.

Without sounding rude, we don't know if you're saving hard to purchase a watch or if you can comfortably afford it. I throw this into the mix because the AP will have really high servicing costs but the Daytona, whilst still high, much more manageable.

Design wise, I think the Daytona can be worn with anything on any occasion but the AP more casual than formal.
