Let’s play this or that! AP Royal Oak panda Chronograph or White SS Rolex Daytona C?

[Roli4life]

Hello fellas!
These are dangerous circumstances for me. I have some downtime some extra cash, and I am looking to add a Chronograph to my collection.

I have it down to these two beauties.
The RO panda Chronograph in Blue or white I have not decided which I like more.

Or the Rolex Daytona ceramic. I like both the black-and-white; however, I find white easier to read.

I would not be paying a premium for the Daytona, since my AD assures me I will have one sometime this year.

The RO I would probably be buying slightly used and slightly under retail.

I would usually go for the Rolex since I love the brand; however, I have accumulated quite a few, and would not mind giving another AP a run. I owned ROO titanium, But found the dial a bit unbalanced, and I also did not like the way it presented on my 7 1/4’’ wrist on the strap or the bracelet. What I did love was the craftsmanship which got me looking at the 41 mm chronograph.

My question to those with (unlikely experience w/ both) is how does the Royal Oak compared to the Daytona. Is the Daytona a shrinking violet in comparison to the Royal Oak making it worth the extra coin, and if so is the Royal Oak comfortable on a 7 1/4+ wrist?

Any advice would be helpful. Here’s a pic of the two.


Cheers
