Why should you get a Daytona over the AP Royal Oak Off Shore?

Anytime I've seen a female (celebrity or not) with a SS Daytona, she's had the white dial version. Get the black dial version and you probably will remain in more exclusive company for a while. Maybe that's why in many parts of the world the black dial commands a slight premium over the white.

I sort of doubt there really are many females (celebrities or not) with their own SS Daytona that they wear regularly. I just think we WIS-folk tend to notice such things more when it does occur. It really is without a doubt a men's watch no matter who wears it.

But I see how it can be annoying. We discovery the Rolex modern grail wathc and celebs and others jump on the bandwagon with no idea why they are doing it. They just know it's really hard to get with a long waitlist.

If they were hideous they would not be regarded as they are!
My 2 favorite watches I own: Daytona and AP ROO:

Just offering my opinion on the looks of the ROO, not disputing the reputation of AP. I think the ROO is one of the ugliest watches around. I try to see the uniqueness and beauty of every watch, but the ROO makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I see it. Sorry.

AP RO blindly.
