Hello Everyone,

I was recently in the market to purchase a AP Royal Oak Chronograph and went to a local AD yesterday to try it on one last time. I fell in love with the watch and as I am leaving he pulls out a white dial SS Daytona!!!!!! This is the first time I saw one in person. I was so set on the AP and now I am very confused! I know I am in a Rolex forum but what do you guys think and which would you pick? Thanks for the advice and I posted a picture of the Royal Oak Chrono.

Now that I have my Daytona, I would now select an AP.

kcmo · 23 September 2011, 01:43 AM

The APs don't do much for me....LOVE my Daytona though!!!

bYAZZ · 23 September 2011, 01:43 AM

That AP is absolutely beautiful. I would pick it any day.

Not a fan of any of the RO line up fine movement but just dont like the style of the watch.Not a huge fan of the modern Daytona but if I had to choose it would be the Daytona.

The AP is real nice! But a Daytona also nice! What is the price difference?

zeroshiki · 23 September 2011, 01:49 AM

daytona all the way..

never liked the AP ROO design.., the lugs hang over my wrist.

Not sure if you're buying new or care about depeciation if you are. If so, you'll take a much bigger hit on the AP.

This is the royal oak line. AP website states 39mm but fits more like a 42mm because of the case design. The offshore line is way to big for my wrist.

Considered it and I know the AP would take a huge hit. Daytonas seem to hold value pretty well. Either way thanks for the input!

I can get the AP at a good price so assuming that I would say its about $5500 higher than the Daytona.

AlbyCrowned · 23 September 2011, 02:00 AM

AP in this case is in a higher level..

TSW · 23 September 2011, 02:00 AM

You already now my answer

although I really love my Daytona and even owned two of them earlier.

HPY · 23 September 2011, 02:07 AM

I have the Daytona but i would swap if for a ROC anytime

I would go with the AP, if it is only $5500 more!

rad87gn · 23 September 2011, 02:08 AM

I don't think the AP is near as attractive as the Daytona.

Submarino · 23 September 2011, 02:15 AM

The AP is in a different category and I would choose it any day over a Daytona.

TSW · 23 September 2011, 02:44 AM

This one is my next AP

Thank you Dan

Got to have something from the classic Royal Oak line

Dr.A · 23 September 2011, 02:58 AM

In terms of looks, the daytona looks nicer, rolex bracelet is elegant and sporty. Not a fan of the AP bracelet. AP will defenitely lose on resale value, but has the exclusivity and a better movement.

If i were you id take the daytona and pocket the 5500.

SR/1 · 23 September 2011, 02:58 AM

AP hands down. I would do some bad things for that watch!!

mdtddd2007 · 23 September 2011, 03:01 AM

Go with AP offshore panda. U Will like it better. Good luck on your choice.

Fiddy · 23 September 2011, 03:01 AM

Go for AP and you won't regret.

agsstructures · 23 September 2011, 03:02 AM
