Rolex.
Throw a Jumbo and ROC in the mix and I might reconsider.

As is, I would go with the Rolex.... but just barely, add a AP chrono and that changes!

Same here.
I had the chance to try on an AP Royal Oak last month at Dubai and there’s just no connection with me.

Rolex collection, mainly due to the WG Daytona you have there.

I'd go with the Rolex collection here...which is hard as I'm a fan of AP and own the 15400. But the Rolex collection to me is a bit more versatile. Plus I LOVE THE 116519!!!!

If I have to choose - Rolex. However, mixing and matching would produce better results.

Rolex (although I don't think I'd choose two daytonas for a 3 watch collection).

That’s an awesome collection. But rolex for me!!! I’d be too conscious of knocking the AP on something by mistake, I’d die if I scratched up those beauties lol.

Wasn't expecting or wanting anything, was just interested. Many on this Rolex forum have AP. And many more, would like an AP.

What is interesting to me is that a year ago I would have said AP, but having now owned all these watches, the Rolex Collection gets 95% of the wrist time.

Couldn't say, I really like both brands. After I round out my Rolex collection I plan on getting a few APs. I love the Royal Oak/Offshore. One of each would do the trick I believe!

it would be closer if a SS daytona was not included. I actually prefer the AP line up with the exception of the WG daytona, but that isnt everyone here's favorite one for the most part, its the SS.

That Rolex lineup is killer and has something for every taste so its more broadly appealing.

Very duplicative within the AP group here. Even a little in the Rolex with 2 daytonas but at least 1's on rubber, but I would take the Rolex grouping over the AP all day long.

I think if people saw the SS and the WG in the flesh, the majority would prefer the WG. Whether or not people would be prepared to pay the extra £'s is of course a different story.

I'm very happy with the Rolex collection, it's my three favourite Rolex models and each has a slightly different purpose. They will all remain.

The AP Collection will likely be traded and replaced with a Patek, likely a 5712.

And then, I will be done!! Those famous last words...
