Exact same thing that happened to me.

As much as I love AP, I lately find myself doing just the opposite.

I have both of these too. Both keepers. Agree I’m way more defensive and picky when wearing the AP or where I’ll wear it. The Daytona is easier but the AP gives you that special feeling when you put it on

26315 is a looker for sure! But probably hang on to the daytona if you can. Cant go wrong with two of the hottest chronos.

Thanks for all the input guys!

I will hold on to the Daytona for now, then see after I can try it on and see it in the flesh. I bought the Daytona at list, so trading up to the AP for a small add on seems pretty smart.

I guess I can regret selling the Daytona down the line as well. Got it new with my name on it (now there´s no more of that) and its not easy to get it, to say the least.

Cheers!

I would not make the trade. Daytona is a Daytona, tough to replace and my become tougher. Can always find a ROC.

Daytona isn't tough to replace...just look at the # on sale in the grey market. It's not a rare piece. There are way less 26315's out there.

They compliment each other well. But if I have to be honest, the AP really exposes the daytona hype. Despite their market price, they are not the same in the same league IMO

i am pretty sure even with the 2.5x mp premium the ROC retail with a 5pc discount is still more expensive. 10yrs later the daytona and the ROC would probably be worth close to same.

The are not in the same league in terms of craftmanship or detail but many more people know and seek the daytona hence the premium.

if you sell the daytona and buy the roc, you will be able to sell the roc and buy a used daytona without issue and without losing much if any money i think...

any one who compares them as equivalent craftsmanship probably have not seen the AP dial without the protective plastic in an outdoor sunlight setting. its blinding!!!

this is all gueswork looking at chrono24 market pricing. i have no rolex and no interest in owning one. i find rolexes too small and uninteresting and common. I also don't really like ROC but i do like and own several APs.

ROC in a heartbeat. The 38mm is unreal and I think is a huge win

I´m buildning an 8 piece collection.

Would still have two Rolexes without the Daytona.
So for that reason is guess the AP makes more sense.

The dial on the AP looks awesome, thanks for posting all pics...

Didn’t weigh in earlier since I don’t know what other watches you have.

Since you’re building an 8 watch collection, would you have room for 2 chronos? If the answer is yes, then the Daytona and the ROC should both be there.

I’m fortunate to have both, and while it’s tempting to compare, they’re both very special in their own ways and they’re both rarely seen out there in the real world outside of Instagram.

Comfort wise, which one is more comfortable for you to wear (between daytona and the ROC).

I owned multiple APs long before the hype started but for every day wear I always came back to Rolex especially to the current Daytona.
