Maybe mixed it up with the 11.59

Might be in the minority here but I never liked the look of Genta styled AP or Patek’s. Appreciate the quality finish but they are fugly.

Have to agree although not a modern Daytona fan the RO does even less for me, yes its got a great movement so does the Rolex, but just dont like the RO style.

And those are my guilty pleasure. I love the second and third gen overseas. Congratulations, stunning piece!

I picked the Daytona for a chronograph and a 15300 for a RO.

In terms of looks, I like the AP more.
In terms of durability, I like the Daytona more, Rolex's warranty is better than AP's.
In terms of value/money, I would get the Daytona now because I think the AP will go down in the future more than the Daytona.

They both have 5 year warranties.

I own both the Daytona and this 2nd gen Vacheron. I like the Vacheron far more.

Do you mean that the Rolex steel is more impervious to scratches ?

The finishing of the RO does of course make a difference on how noticeable they may be (depending on where they are) but didn’t think there was much difference between steel varieties in terms of actual scratch resistance.

This would be my choice too if I had the wrist for it.

I'd agree with this analysis.

I would say in terms of the bezel, the AP gets a new nick every time you accidentally tag it on something, you can only polish AP bezels 3-4 times before you need an entire new one. The Rolex bezel? That will hold up much much longer, especially with ceramic. Durability: Rolex wins, Design: Daytona is iconic!
