I agree with the poster above--first determine which functions are more useful to you and decide from there. Do you need world time? The PP is a fantastic watch. If you are involved more with water sports, the YM would make a great choice. The Daytona is one of Rolex's most sought after models--it sounds like the chronograph functions are not a priority for you, but it is a great watch too.

Rolex and PP are extremely different brands--Rolex is sturdier and the price of maintenance is much lower. PP is the ultimate in "snob appeal" and it's horological excellence runs deep in many different ways--the design of it's dial to facilitate using the world time function is both simple and clever. Moreover, there is a world of difference when it comes to finishing of the movement. If you travel a lot or call people around the world each day in your business, then the PP might be for you. PP's are very expensive to maintain though, so if you have that kind of income, it would be a fun watch to own. Rolex though makes watches which are more "forgiving" in the sphere of the average lifestyle though and has the features of durability, steady performance, low maintenance costs and for most people, high satisfaction.
