WG Daytona is my preference, but you also need to think about the condition, looks to me, its pre-owned, make sure you have the card.

YM to me is a second watch you should have after Daytona, the condition looks good, and you need bigger wrist to make it a nice fit.

AP is really nice in the mechanical part, especially the beatiful movement, and the polishing, however, the pre-owned price is not that good compare to Rolex. In addition, AP may require more maintanance, make sure you have the orignal paper.

Anyway, its my personal opinion, you can bring your wife or girl friend with you to give you more suggestinos, that's what I always do.

3 fine watches-no bad choices.
I love the yacht master.
It depends what else you have?
For me I would probably go for the AP just because it's AP.
I'm not really taken by that set up for the Daytona.

IMO

Royal Oak wins among the three.

) The Yacht-Master is the most attractive, but it says Yacht-Master on the dial, which is what ................ the master of a yacht ? Very pretentious and tacky

) The Daytona dial looks like a jumbled non legible mess of parts bin leftovers.
What, you think Rolex names are to be taken literally? That Sub owners all live on submarines while Daytona wearers own a racecourse? And presumably, Seadwellers are all worn by mermaids...

The pride of Germany is a great looking piece. Its in a totally different price range though.

YM 42

Daytona too small and I'm not a chrono person. AP is a great brand, but again not a chrono.

YM. You’ll thank me when it comes to the cost of servicing . AP chrono servicing is going be a major disaster.

YM2. Its the best size for what the sub should have been. Bi directional. Easy to ready. Excellent band. Chronos are good for timing but all the tiny dials make them difficult to read for a complication you'll likely never use

The YM out of those 3 mostly because the other dials are a bit busy for my tastes. However for that kind of money there are other watches I would choose instead.

Are you getting them from an AD or Grey dealer? That’s how I would choose honestly since I only buy retail now but I highly doubt all 3 are available at the moment so is this for the next purchase lol?

The color basically. Plus, it looks to me like the plots and maybe hands on the WG model are bigger, and look a little "off" to me? No offense to owners, it's a wonderful watch with a lot of wrist presence, but somewhat cold/sterile looking (IMO).

Anyway, the RG is just the perfect blend of size and warmth in color tones-again IMO. Or it just may be a sentimental bias as I had the RG and flipped it away and wished I hadn't.

Just my two cents.

If that's the actual Daytona it looks like it's been polished. Get the AP unless you have enough bracelets and want rubber.
