Advice needed!
Hi all - I currently have the white gold Daytona on Oysterflex. Love the watch but would also really enjoy getting into AP. The 26331st, now discontinued, is a watch I could probably get into if I added around 5k plus the Daytona. Any thoughts for or against? Anyone with experience or ownership of the 26331st?

The 26331st is an amazing watch. I’ve owned black and panda dial 26331st and currently have the 26331st with the blue dial. The panda dial I think is as nice as the blue dial.

I’d keep the Daytona. More comfortable, better daily, and PM. Add an AP.

I'd take the 26331ST Panda over the Daytona any day, oh wait, I did...

I would definitely do it. AP finishing is on another level!

I see you've received many more recommendations in the Rolex section of these forums. Ultimately, I see there being no right or wrong answer. But it's important that you try the AP on to make a sound, long term decision. Your post makes it sound like you've not had that opportunity.

Fortunate to own both Daytona and AP. Personally I take AP any day.

That model AP does nothing for me.

I had both. Daytona was too small for me. I have the 26631 or blue dial.

I would do it 100%. AP is on another level.
