love the grey color particularly on this. It tones down the busy dial.

Virtually everyday I see a youtube video titled Omega xxx: the Sub killer, or AP: the Rolex killer, etc. Cracks me up. Rolex must be doing something right if everyone is trying to kill it. lol

Only thing that bothers me with AP is that bezel wears down

Congrats!
OP, I'm also keen on this piece. Please could you share your wrist size and how this watch wears on your wrist? |

The ceramic Daytona is a nice watch but side by side with an AP it’s not in the same league, not even close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Especially given current market pricing, who would ever buy a Daytona over one of these??? At 12k vs 24k retail to retail there are arguments to be made depending, but I cant wait for mine...just came in and paid for, gets shipped to me Tuesday!

APs are not too bad a scratch magnet as some people say. My nephew has one and he kept saying that but when I got mine, it does not really scratch much with daily use. It is unforgiving, true, if you hit something, but it does not mysteriously get scratched up out of nowhere.

You ain’t wrong. I wore this watch for a few years and then sswitchedto a jumbo perpetual calendar. Absolutely exquisite time pieces but it is so difficult to maintain the finish. On a Rolex slight imperfections add to the character. On an AP they drive you crazy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Cant go wrong with a ROC
But the 38mm is a tad small for my liking. Prefer the 41mm! |

I think it is a fantastic watch an agree it bullies the Daytona quite well. The AP gray is so sweet especially in this 38mm and sub-dial contrast combination.

The Daytona while timeless and classic, looks like just any other chronograph out there. In the picture above, if I wasn’t a WIS there’s a strong possibility of thinking it’s a Speedmaster. The ROC on the other hand is legitimate haute horology and unique in every sense with an indescribable savoir faire entirely lacking in the Daytona.
That said, I am in the market for a yellow gold Daytona with the zenith movement! |
