AP SS ruined Rolex PM for me: Do you agree?

[thekman]

I recently acquired my black 15500ST and have been blown away by the level of finishing vs my other watches. Recently I visited a few Rolex ADs and had the chance to try on the CHNR GMT, the Smurf, a Daytona OF and even a blue dial Daytona (not pictured). I also tried on an AP diver recently. To be honest while I love Rolex SS models and would get BLNR GMT in a heartbeat if offered at retail I feel like AP SS ruined Rolex PM for me. For example the full gold CHNR is almost double the price of the SS Royal Oak but in my opinion does not even come close in terms of finishing and overall luxury feel. Any AP owners feel the same way?

Now some quick pics. Not the greatest quality as they were snapped quickly at the AD.
