Royal Oak RG Jumbo vs Daytona Platy

Curiosity what members would choose,
I think they both are classics and uniquely special with the splash of color they provide, given a choice which would you choose?

I figured the AP sub forum would get the most balanced response as (i think its safe to say) we all know what a Daytona is, but i think its a cultivated appreciation that brings us to the Jumbo.


Royal Oak Extra thin rose gold 15202OR, 40th Anniversary!

I'd have to go with the 15202. Not a big fan of the Daytona in general, although this one in particular looks very nice.

AP for me, the Daytona is beautiful but it doesn't beat the RO in my book.

AP for sure. Haven't seen that blue dial in person on the Daytona, but can't say it's for me from what I've seen.

Not a chrono fan, but I'd make an exception in this case! That Daytona is awfully special and hard to beat.

For the purposes of this poll I'd say AP. However in reality, if I can afford the platinum Daytona, I'd shortly thereafter get the RO and vice versa.

I have the SS Daytona and SS 15400 so love both. Between the 2 choices, RG jumbo.

Jumbo without blinking an eye.
Yes the Daytona is one sweet watch, but the 15202 checks all the boxes for me.

Daytona!

I'm a fan of the RO but not in yellow gold. It's after all a sports watch...

This Daytona looks like a steel watch (as it was meant to be) and the dial makes it so beautiful!

Nothing quite like AP gold, esp the gold octagonal bezel.

What about in rose gold like we are discussing?

These two would certainly complement each other well

RG Jumbo. Such a grail. First and only time I ever saw one was on Valentino walking out of Barneys NYC into a Maybach. Forget the glitz and glam, looked SICK!
