They simply look GREAT and belong together.

Rose Gold · 1 June 2018, 06:24 AM

I would definitely say that they do not belong together. One.. the AP, looks like a futuristic version of a watch while the Daytona looks like a classical version of a watch. I would say that they are at opposite ends of the watch spectrum, and that they do not belong together. Perhaps they belong together in the sense of being part of a collection, but they clash like oil and water in my opinion.

Funny you say the AP is futuristic when it has been updated two times since this classic model.

Both look great on you Fred, and this is clearly your favoured size of watch. If the ROC had white subdials they would be almost the perfect inverse colours of each other.

You make a great argument on why they bleong together in a collection. Variety.

The AP was designed in 1970, 50 years old

No one said wear them at the same time

Zoran · 1 June 2018, 06:26 AM

Two great looking watches that have earned their place in every collection!
Congrats on having both!

KBM · 1 June 2018, 06:27 AM

Great duo, buddy.

Chadridv · 1 June 2018, 06:28 AM

That's it! Done. The answer is definitively BOTH.

looking awesome my friend.

AJM914 · 1 June 2018, 06:29 AM

They look great!

rmlovett1 · 1 June 2018, 06:35 AM

Love ‘em! Very nice!!

sensui · 1 June 2018, 06:55 AM

Beautiful Fred. I'm not on the AP train yet but I can see the appeal for some. Dashing pair there!

Thanks bud!

Having owned a 5711/1A blue (also a Genta) in the past, I actually prefer the similar styled bracelet seen here on AP 15300 and 26300. Some may feel otherwise but the AP bracelet here is more balanced for me given the slightly more heft and the hand finish is simply stunning. Give AP a try if you have the chance

Largoshark · 1 June 2018, 06:56 AM

Both beautiful watches, but I really wish that AP didn't have a date window (especially a white date window on a black dial.)

toucan · 1 June 2018, 07:09 AM

Nice Fred!

CoveWatch · 1 June 2018, 07:13 AM

Beautiful pair, somehow I still prefer the Daytona. Good thing you can chose both.
Enjoy them in health.

Navarino · 1 June 2018, 08:22 AM

Both look great. Totally agree that they can peacefully co-exist in any collection :-)

droptopman · 1 June 2018, 08:31 AM

Great looking duo.

904VT · 1 June 2018, 08:33 AM

They both belong in any chronograph enthusiast's collection. The 5 must have are: Daytona, AP RO Chrono, Patek 5170, Speedmaster, and AL&S Datograph

Congrats on the awesome pair!

Dominik · 1 June 2018, 08:34 AM

Great Duo! Enjoy it.

vinny84 · 1 June 2018, 08:47 AM

There shouldn’t even be a debate. Both awesome watches that any collector would love to own

schoolboy · 1 June 2018, 09:41 AM

Awesome!

I love the pushers and crown on the AP.

Congrats!

schoolboy · 1 June 2018, 09:43 AM

What's the reference number for the AP?
