Both an option?

I'm looking into an ROC. They look very tasty...

AP ROC + Daytona SS

A perfect pair as long as you have them in different dial colors

The AP ROC is a better watch all round and the craftsmanship and finishing are something to enjoy every time you look at it.

The Daytona has the history and recognition as well as good looks.

But hey, you already made your choice, and it is the right one

In good health.

Cheers,
K

Daytona. Don't like the odd look of the AP.

ROC and VC Overseas would be the debate for me.
I've has Daytonas and always get rid of them after a
Couple weeks.

The VC has a slight edge due to the bigger case and greater WR
rating. I really like the bracelet as well but then again I love the
AP dial.
