I'd go with the AP as you have a Rolex.

Get the 116500 - at least I would. Never cared for the Diver myself and the Daytona a much better looking watch IMHO with much higher demand. So if you can get one from AD for retail it's a no brainer.

I can appreciate the 116500, but it's still too small for me.

Diver is great, but 44mm ROO might be a better move.

Those two watches wear completely differently. One is sleek and slim, the other is big and blocky. I love them both, but I think you need to decide what type of watch you'd like to have.

Thanks everyone's feedback
116500LN is NTD 495,000 in Taiwan
AP diver's tag price is NTD 608,000 in Taiwan, but I'm not sure how much discount I can get.
The only one thing I am concerned is that I'm afraid of scratching the diver...cos it's not ceramic

If you can make the stretch to a ceramic or FC diver by selling the Breitling, don't hesitate

Grab a FC or CE diver... Only the bezel is CE on the Daytona, so, the rest of it will scratch too.

Agreed. If you can find a CE Diver get that. It's the best of all worlds.

After seeing your wrist size I think the Daytona would be a better choice.

The APs look a lil big, maybe look at a ROC, 15400 or the 15202.

If you can get the Daytona-C at retail cost, flip it for a profit, then buy the AP.

44 AP is too large and 42 is as well after seeing your pics.




What size is your wrist?

Due to your first size the daytona may look better.

Daytona for your wrist size or if you really want an AP look at the 15202.

As much as I want to say GO AP, you should 100% go Daytona.

It will still wear very large on your wrist IMO and will be a better fit than the APs.
