I have both OP, despite me loving Rolex, there’s simply no comparison. The AP is leagues ahead in fit, finish, and overall desirability. Not on this forum mind.

Totally agree

With your wrist size, both watches will look good on your wrist.

Daytona is only half price of AP 26331st, so if you can get at msrp, Daytona would be a better buy.

Daytona is an iconic for Rolex, but Royal Oak Chrono 26331st is not an iconic for AP.

Daytona looks beautiful but AP looks more elegant, AP has the best bracelet.

AP is a nicer watch for sure. You also get a date indicator with it!!

I don't think you can compare these watches at all, the AP is on a totally different level of quality, obviously you'll get many replies on a Rolex forum voting for a Daytona!

Daytona for me because the AP wears large (and thick) on me at 41

Do you mean width? Cause Daytona is 12.2mm thick and AP 26331 is 11mm.

Best answer is always .... both. One in black and the other in white.
