Hi All,

Greetings from NYC. After having been lucky enough to own a few APs in SS and Ceramic (as well as a number of SS Rolex) I have decided to add a yellow gold chrono to the collection. I am torn between 2 models.

AP RO 26320 in Yellow Gold w/ white face
or
Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold w/ white face

These are both with the full bracelet. I know the predisposition on this forum it to vote AP, but I also know many of you appreciate other brands as well.

Also, let's assume for this discussion that the price difference is not enough to be the deciding factor. My only concern with the AP is that perhaps it's a bit on the dressy side. (I'm mostly business casual/jeans). But it's so elegant... The Daytona seems like a versatile and rock solid piece...

Any thoughts or opinions from my fellow WIS?

Thank you and have a great week!

Dave

Have you checked out the AP rose gold bracelet in person? I think you'll fall in love with the finishing once it's on your wrist

AP over rolex all day, go for it!

AP for sure, beautiful finishing and the bracelet alone is a work of art, altho I prefer the RG to the YG. If a Daytona with ceramic was released then this would be more of a contest.

You are very right about the daytona. It is rock solid. Feels more durable compared to my ap. But the finish of the AP is simply more superieur and the ap does have a larger wrist presence. I had the exact same dilemma and went with the rg Daytona at the end. The daytona is also more comfortable. You need to try both on to decide.

Daytona PM looks best on a hot woman's wrist

The AP in YG or RG would be a wonderful addition!

I'm a big Daytona fan...I reach for my 26320 WAY more than any of my Daytonas.

Is this a joke? Can't compare the YG Day to a YG/RG ROC. Get the AP, Dave!!!

Dave from NYC · 13 September 2016, 12:35 PM

And YES, I have notice a number of women wearing Daytonas. I still think it's a plenty masculine watch, but it did cross my mind...

And I agree that the finishing on the AP is 2nd to none.

As far as YG vs RG just comes down to the color of my skin. The RG didn't look very good on me.

Thank you all for your opinions!

Best!

Mainewatchman · 13 September 2016, 10:43 PM

Wish I had the gumption to be as straightforward as you Mike! Go for the AP Dave. The RG ROC on bracelet is simply gorgeous.
