If someone else already hasn’t said it, best to add. If only room for 1, keep the AP

Have you considered the Casio GW-M5610U?

Don’t do it.
Another vote to keep the AP. |

The off-centred date window on the AP drives me crazy! Once you notice it, it’s impossible to ignore. I’d trade it any day for a precious metal Daytona.

For a PM Daytona…yes. Otherwise I’d stay put

I don't think they are in the same league. Compared to that, the Daytona is an overhyped and common mass produced watch. I agree with the others, maybe a switch to a PM but most likely a Platona would be the one that would definitely be an upgrade.
But swapping THIS RO for THIS Daytona, even if you fell in love with it, doesn't seem like a rational move to me. |

I traded my 15510ST for a 116515LN and couldn't be happier about it, but SS vs SS I wouldn't have made that trade

I’d keep that AP as it is much nicer than the Daytona and I have owned two Daytonas.

Thank you for all your responses! I think I’m going to be sticking with the AP.

Millions of Daytona’s out there, world and his wife already own one whereas the AP Chrono is sublime understated class, stick with the AP.

I always loved the royal oak but my wrist is more round than oval and I could never get a good fit - just not meant to be for me.
I own the daytona 116500 with a black dial and I love it. 30 watches in 3 years is moving quite fast. You move on pretty quickly it seems, and I dont think if you get the daytona it will be any different. It also sounds like you expected more from the AP despite your complaints being relatively minor: 1- 10% in power reserve (36 hours instead of 40 hours) is not crazy off but you can always get it serviced 2- The hacking seconds is something that a lot of movements actually dont have (from omega speedmasters all the way up to patek and fp journe). Its a design decision whether to include it or not... I dont really see it as a "feature". My speedy does not hack and it is what it is... I set the time just fine. I would keep that AP if I were in your shoes. I love my daytona but if I could get a nice fit on a royal oak I would have had one by now. The royal oak is a beautiful watch and it looks great on you.

If you’re trading it for a full PM then maybe otherwise no way.

AP all the way.
It's the difference between a mass produced,machine-made watch and a hand made, hand finished exquisite timepiece. No comparison.

I own a modern SS ceramic Daytona and no way I’d trade that AP for one.
