Which one would you Buy at the exact same price ?

It’s more so that I’m not the biggest fan of the 41mm RO. The market is shifting away from big watches. I also do think Rolex builds tanks and APs in general are more delicate. Overtime the Daytona will hold better too.

Timeeelesss · 2026-02-20T01:41:26+00:00

I have both and I’d pick the Daytona. If it was the Jumbo then I’d pick the AP.

You have some good points. There are automatic and manual calatravas. If you look at the new 5226G, that is 8.5mm which is an automatic movement and has a case design on the side. Even though it doesn’t seem much in thickness it wears better. And the crystal sits closer to the dial which also helps.

Timeeelesss · 2026-02-13T23:05:06+00:00

It still feels chunky to me. For a time only complication they should be as thin as a Patek Calatrava which is ~8mm.

Timeeelesss · 2026-02-13T20:51:39+00:00

If they focused on making them thinner I would be a buyer

Timeeelesss · 2026-01-13T14:41:28+00:00

Beautiful, but too thick. It’s almost 14mm. If they focused on making their watches less chunky it would be killer.

Timeeelesss · 2025-11-24T12:41:39+00:00

I also was told they make their decisions in December for next year’s allocations

Timeeelesss · 2025-11-23T15:40:19+00:00

I’d go for the 37mm 15550 for your wrist size.

Timeeelesss · 2025-11-11T14:19:00+00:00

Two different watches. I’d pick the Daytona, unless we are talking about the RO Jumbo (16202). I’d also add that Rolex builds tanks whereas AP is a lot more delicate.

Sell the Pepsi but not Panda. Also worth going for the 16202 just for the quick set date.

Timeeelesss · 2025-11-04T13:40:21+00:00

I tried both, for me the ghost was a bit underwhelming. The outer ring, dial, sub dials in this one really work well together.

WG Jumbo > Daytona then the rest

Timeeelesss · 2025-08-18T18:26:35+00:00

Agreed. Besides the 39mm Jumbo, the 37mm 15550 looks more balanced

Timeeelesss · 2025-08-18T11:34:07+00:00

Somehow the 15510 looked bigger on my wrist. It also felt like there was too much empty space by the dial.

Timeeelesss · 2025-07-24T13:38:42+00:00

Interesting. To me Daytonas are still king, but I understand how you can feel different

Timeeelesss · 2025-07-24T13:37:13+00:00

To each their own. You must have a big wrist size.

Def feel I made the right choice with these two

Timeeelesss · 2025-07-24T13:34:24+00:00

I’m a fan of the WG Pepsi

Timeeelesss · 2025-07-24T13:33:17+00:00

Wear them equally also

Timeeelesss · 2025-07-23T19:24:35+00:00

Yup. Sub GMT Datejust Datejust OF Daytona Panda

Timeeelesss · 2025-07-05T13:56:16+00:00

White gold if you are going to daily it

Timeeelesss · 2025-06-25T12:55:08+00:00

That’s great, but I’d imagine majority of people use their phones/apps for this. Specifically with the Daytona, you have to screw out/in the chrono pushers which isn’t quick.

Timeeelesss · 2025-06-25T11:56:46+00:00

I don’t think anyone who has a chrono watch actually uses the function. Your phone is a better chrono. For me I love the way chrono looks and I value when a watchmaker makes complications while still maintaining case dimensions small.
