RG Daytona or Royal Oak?

[Exceptional]

Would appreciate some feedback.

I am looking to buy my first RG piece, I want this to be my daily watch (or at least most worn watch, to work etc). I am interested in the rubber strap models as I feel they provide a nice balance between PM and casual look. My choices are:

116515LN - This is the most cost effective and easiest to obtain. Have been told I can be placed on the list if I want this.


15500OR (I would change to a rubber strap) - I am not sure on availability? But its absolutely beautiful.


15500OR Bracelet (grail piece) - This would be the one I would opt for if cost wasn't a factor, but currently not sure I am at the point in life to drop this much cash on a watch. However, could be purchased easily within a couple of years if I don't purchase any other watch.


Runner up - Patek Aquanaut 5167r, but unattainable for MSRP so this is out for now.

I started this in the AP forum, as I prefer the AP's. Would appreciate some feedback on:
1. Which would you choose of the 3 and why? Would you enjoy the Rolex for now and move to a RO later, or buy the croc strap RO now and potentially add the bracelet down the line, or yolo and go full grail!
2. Can anyone advise on availability of these RO models? I am assuming theres a wait. So far, I have only contacted a few ADs and have been told its out of stock and nothing much else in terms of if I can purchase one, and can't go out to visit any ADs yet. I know some grey dealers who can get this easily but don't want to pay over MSRP. I was told the steel was unavailable last year and was shown some diamond bezel ones lol.
3. Would you recommend the RG RO as a daily watch? If not, why? I hear they are delicate.
4. Can the croc strap model be ordered in rubber from AP? If not, does anyone know how much the rubber strap is and whether you have to buy from a grey?
5. Would you expect a discount on PM?

Many thanks in advance
