Be ready for sticker shock of owning and maintaining AP. Astronomical service costs

Do you need the date or chronograph function? Totally different watches.

I own a handful of Daytonas - love them...constant I'm my collection...

The AP (specifically the 26320) for me gets more wrist time - by far!

Little bigger at 41mm and the details are crazy - the band - again just crazy...

I like the AP chrono so much would love to own the 41mm date version (15400)

Happy Hunting...looking forward to your AP incoming thread!

My RO has cost only a fraction more to service than my GMT. Over 5-7 years the difference is minimal.

I had an AP15300. On occasional it was jumping several minutes ahead.
To me paying $1,700 to fix the problem is alot of money.

For you, apparently not. Its all in perspective

I paid $1200 for a full service and cleaning up/polishing the case and bracelet. I thought that was good value, but each to his own. Over 6 years I don't think $200 a year is a lot of money to maintain a watch, compared to a car.
