Aesthetically Daytona, I don’t like industrial look of AP especially nuts like crowns. However, craftsmanship is on the different level and the price difference is not an accidental.

The panda would be the 116519LN.
Daytona is the best chrono with the Datograph. I tried AP several years ago and never again ! (reliability, after-sales service (delays and price))

As much as I love the 116500LN; the AP just looks much more finely finished all around, what a gorgeous piece.

I really like both of those but if I had to pick one, it would be the Daytona. I think the AP looks nicer but the Daytona is a tougher and more robust watch. On top of that, I don't like the fact that the ROC doesn't have a display caseback. It's time AP made that change. I have a 42mm ROO and I love being able to see the movement. On a Rolex, I don't care. But if I'm paying AP prices, I want to be able to admire the workmanship.

Quite an apt question as I did buy an AP RO Chrono and my 1st Daytona, a Paul Newman dial on OF in the last 6-12 months
I have to say, the Daytona is built like a tank as I've found other Rolexes to be. The AP is my second Royal Oak, my 1st was a date only blue 15400 but the crown is kinda sticking out/doesn't screw in all the way & according to my SA it needs to be sent to the watchmakers. This is after 10 months buying from new |

116500 isn’t exactly a panda
