Rolex only because the WG Daytona on OF is my favorite of the entire group.

AP :)

Any reason the APs are set 6-7 minutes ahead of the Rolexes?

Is there a reason your winders are set to clockwise only? Sorry I know very little about winders, but I’m considering one. My understanding is that Rolex winds in both directions.

Great collection!
I'd go AP since I'm not the biggest Daytona fan

Agreed. Never got into AP's so the Rolex collection all the way. It doesn't hurt that those are 3 of the best examples across the brand.

A stainless Daytona, a Sea Dweller, and a White Gold Daytona versus three octagonal DateJusts? Hmm, I guess I'll go with the Rolex watches.
