I think I would have felt the same if I got the reference I really want.

I went from Rolex to AP and back to Rolex. I don’t like to baby my watches—I’m more comfortable with Rolex and not too concerned with scratching them or banging it on my desk…etc

Great and funny input, thanks folks!. This leads me to another AP question. My go to watch currently is a DD 118238 (36MM). I dont have small wrists I just prefer a 40MM or less. I have heard that APs wear "larger" Which size would you recommend for my size preference? TIA

The 37mm 15450 may be the watch for you.

Also, sorry for all of the questions, I know a lot of these could be answered if I tried one a few, but I live in an area where the closest AP seller is several hundred miles away.

Love both brands. Started with Rolex and acquired a few AP’s. I still love and wear Rolex depending on the day’s activities, but the AP’s are the ones I like to wear and look at the most. Hate to make car analogies, but you could say it’s like having a Mercedes Benz (Rolex) as the daily and a Lamborghini (AP) as the weekend fun car.

I love my 16520 Daytona but my AP 4100BA is more like a piece of “treasure”. Unfortunately I do not find much occasion to wear it.

If I could only have one, I would keep the Daytona since it is so easy to put on and just never take off. Ever.
