15300?

If the 15400 feels big you might find a lightly used 15300 that would be a better fit. And don't worry about robustness - the people who actual own them can vouch for that.

Daytona not question. Personally, I don't get the AP so it wouldn't be remotely on my radar.

The durability of the rolex brand goes a long way in my book.

I've tried some of the "nicer" brands and I always beat them up.

That's me tho. I suppose it depends on how YOU will wear it.

Had both a 15400 and Daytona, still have the 15400.

As I always advise--depends on your lifestyle.

Maybe the 15400 for dress and sport and grab the Daytona SS for more casual and rugged situations. Both are staples for their respective brands.

Daytona fits your wrist better.

Get the AP15400, much more useful and shows it shows the date.

On looks alone I have to say Daytona. On how it feels on the wrist, only you can decide.

after trying both on at a recent GTG (albeit a short time for each on the wrist) I bought a SS Daytona. Both wear very different and for me, the Daytona was the better fit on my wrist.

Good luck!

I think the AP would add more variety to your collection, but the Daytona appears to fit you better

Hmm, I can get both at great price, Daytona holds better, thinking Daytona now, enjoy the AP further down the road. Maybe sell the DSOTM get the AP and then add Daytona sooner

AP looks great on you and I prefer it to the Daytona.

AP all the way!!

Timeless design + Will bring diversity to your collection in many different ways.

Daytona wears too small, is difficult to read and you already have a chronograph.

Done.

I can flip the DSOTM immediately for this plus cash then get the AP in a couple of months

That would be a interesting move or adding more confusion.

I'd go for the Daytona. It'll never go out of style and is an icon. I love the white dial. Good luck

116520 trumps the 15400st, IMHO.

116520 vs the 15300st on the other hand is a deadlock and comes down to what features you like better from each watch.

I have a 15300 and a Daytona and love them. I'd flip the DSOTM and pick up an AP and 116520
