Hi Guys,

Need some help, which one would you choose and why:

New yacht master 42mm oysterflex
Rolex Daytona white gold racing dial
Ap Royal Oak chrono 41mm

Only from these 3

Thank you

Here are some pics

Out of these three, i'd go for the AP.
I'd prefer the white gold Daytona on Oyserflex with the ceramic bezel out of the three though.

CKizzy · 30 June 2020, 12:33 AM

Daytona all day!

huncho · 30 June 2020, 12:42 AM

Ap

alphadweller · 30 June 2020, 12:44 AM

YM42 without a doubt.

Bybybmw · 30 June 2020, 12:56 AM

YM basically because I am not a fan of all the complications the others have.

acheronsgrief · 30 June 2020, 12:56 AM

Close call, id go YM>Daytona>>>AP but couldn’t fault you for any choice.

Same here. The YM to me is the most legible and has the most appealing look.

Rori · 30 June 2020, 12:57 AM

YM42. It’s modern, it’s stylish, it’s unique in so many ways.

If the watch will be in rotation with other watches, then the AP

If it’ll be your only watch and you’ll wear it daily, then Daytona

If it were me, I’d be going for the Daytona out of those 3

I’ve had gold Daytonas but now I wear the Yachtmaster 42. It’s easy to under-estimate the sheer class of this watch. Beautifully designed, luxurious and yet also unobtrusive on the wrist. Always assuming that’s what you want. It’s not at all ‘showy’.
And a lot easier to read than the two alternatives.

TellingTime · 30 June 2020, 02:40 AM

Daytona everyday

swish77 · 30 June 2020, 02:43 AM

YM, out of those three. I find that Daytona reference cluttered and too tight with the numbers on the dial instead of the traditional hour markers. That 41mm AP wears very big, but if you are OK with the size, I think the panda (or reverse panda) would be the way to go.

Oxfordian · 30 June 2020, 03:24 AM

AP, simply because it is the better watch, you are getting a watch from the top tier of watchmaking.

+1 and it's no contest

hugepencil · 30 June 2020, 05:07 AM

Arabic numbers on Daytona doesn’t work for me. Out of these three, I’d def go YM then AP.

Fuzz3D · 30 June 2020, 05:50 AM

YM and Oysterflex strap for maximum comfort on hot days and a nice clean dial for easy readability.

Little machines · 30 June 2020, 06:19 AM

Daytona all the way !!

Daytona for sure. I love that dial.

synrrgy · 30 June 2020, 08:19 AM

Go with the Daytona!

Benzsiam · 30 June 2020, 08:27 AM

They are all good, pick the one that you like the most.

Buy the one YOU prefer, it’s YOUR money and YOU will be wearing it !

IMO

Royal Oak wins among the three.

) The Yacht-Master is the most attractive, but it says Yacht-Master on the dial, which is what ................ the master of a yacht ? Very pretentious and tacky

) The Daytona dial looks like a jumbled non legible mess of parts bin leftovers.

What, you think Rolex names are to be taken literally? That Sub owners all live on submarines while Daytona wearers own a racecourse? And presumably, Seadwellers are all worn by mermaids...

GST15 · 30 June 2020, 11:10 AM

That Daytona is Badass, but I'd probable choose the AP

watchwatcher · 30 June 2020, 11:17 PM

I would go Daytona from that group. The dial/red hands combo has a special place in my heart. The new YM is nice, but I actually prefer the RG model.

Do you prefer the ym rg for its size or color? AD trying to convince me the wg fits my 6.5 but I’m doubtful

The color basically. Plus, it looks to me like the plots and maybe hands on the WG model are bigger, and look a little "off" to me? No offense to owners, it's a wonderful watch with a lot of wrist presence, but somewhat cold/sterile looking (IMO).

Anyway, the RG is just the perfect blend of size and warmth in color tones-again IMO. Or it just may be a sentimental bias as I had the RG and flipped it away and wished I hadn't.

Just my two cents.
