funny thing is this is 11 mm thick vs 12.2 mm for the 116500LN. daytona just shows more case curvature.

danicasi2002 · 17 September 2019, 11:38 AM

love the grey color particularly on this. It tones down the busy dial.

locutus49 · 17 September 2019, 11:40 AM

Virtually everyday I see a youtube video titled Omega xxx: the Sub killer, or AP: the Rolex killer, etc. Cracks me up. Rolex must be doing something right if everyone is trying to kill it. lol

It is considerably more flashy than a Daytona and there is no EZ link :)

They each have their place.

seanneok11 · 17 September 2019, 03:51 PM

Only thing that bothers me with AP is that bezel wears down

Ichiran · 17 September 2019, 06:51 PM

Congrats!

OP, I'm also keen on this piece. Please could you share your wrist size and how this watch wears on your wrist?

Not if you wear it normally, I've seen plenty of 10 year plus ROs with crisp edges.

Daryl · 17 September 2019, 09:57 PM

both are amazing watches.

It’s a nice watch nonetheless.

The ceramic Daytona is a nice watch but side by side with an AP it’s not in the same league, not even close.

Thanks.

I think it sits well on your wrist. I hope I can also get this reference from the boutique.

I'm very interested in this model. Do you have a boutique recommendation for NYC?

VICI · 18 September 2019, 12:20 PM

Wow, very nice!!

I know for a fact that AP Vegas will have opening spot for this model very soon.

First two listings on C24 asking for 26.8k and 33.9k

myporsche · 18 September 2019, 06:04 PM

Fantastic choice, dang the 38 size looks great, congrats!

redsubby · 22 September 2019, 01:02 AM

Never been a fan of RO Chrono, would take Daytona over this all day.

uniqueMR · 22 September 2019, 03:26 AM

Congrats

F430Spider · 22 September 2019, 11:39 AM

Nice - but Daytona wins it

Razorsedge1 · 22 September 2019, 12:20 PM

Beautiful watch!

sechsgang · 30 September 2019, 05:12 AM

Especially given current market pricing, who would ever buy a Daytona over one of these??? At 12k vs 24k retail to retail there are arguments to be made depending, but I cant wait for mine...just came in and paid for, gets shipped to me Tuesday!

Muxi · 30 September 2019, 10:11 AM

APs are not too bad a scratch magnet as some people say. My nephew has one and he kept saying that but when I got mine, it does not really scratch much with daily use. It is unforgiving, true, if you hit something, but it does not mysteriously get scratched up out of nowhere.

You ain’t wrong. I wore this watch for a few years and then sswitchedto a jumbo perpetual calendar. Absolutely exquisite time pieces but it is so difficult to maintain the finish. On a Rolex slight imperfections add to the character. On an AP they drive you crazy.

Cant go wrong with a ROC

But the 38mm is a tad small for my liking. Prefer the 41mm!

myporsche · 30 September 2019, 07:20 PM

I think it is a fantastic watch an agree it bullies the Daytona quite well. The AP gray is so sweet especially in this 38mm and sub-dial contrast combination.

Xamy · 30 September 2019, 08:29 PM

Beautiful

JohnGT3RS · 2 October 2019, 06:05 AM

I think both are great.

jag32 · 2 October 2019, 07:04 AM

The Daytona while timeless and classic, looks like just any other chronograph out there. In the picture above, if I wasn’t a WIS there’s a strong possibility of thinking it’s a Speedmaster. The ROC on the other hand is legitimate haute horology and unique in every sense with an indescribable savoir faire entirely lacking in the Daytona.

That said, I am in the market for a yellow gold Daytona with the zenith movement!
