DD is a boss watch
RO is for the cool industrial look

Love both , DD is more commemorative than the RO.
RO is more appreciated in the WIS world.
DD YG is more flashy and not as fragile as RO.
RO is less flashy but have to be careful with that bezel.

Cheers

DD for sure. I got rid of a 15400 for a DJ41 so I’d certainly do it for a DD.

Why 15400 for DJ41?

You own an explorer 2? Couldn’t get anything you actually wanted from the AD?

The 15450. The genta octagonal design, Grande Tapisserie, the bracelet, etc, are so special.

The 3120 is so beautiful.

DD 40; the 15450 is small for his wrist, unless he likes smaller watches.

In terms of case both watches are fine for 6.5" wrist, because the RO has larger appearance than the measure suggests, but to me the problem of RO is the bracelet that looks really small and gives the impression to be more a female watch rather than male.
Hence I give my preference to DD40

I own both: DD40 YG and 15450 blue dial. I a had to keep only one... The DD40 no question! While i like the AP, I don't love it although it is a nice watch to have in a rotation. To tell you the truth, I have been collecting for over 30 years. AP has always been one of my favorite brands. It used to be sort of an insiders brand. Unless you were a collector or a WIS, you didnt know AP. It has now become a mainstream brand - every rapper has one. Over the years, I have lost interest. I recently let go of my ROO Diver in a trade for a complicated PP and i am thinking about letting my RO go as well.

Did you get the DD from an AD? Curious as to what sort of prices you can pick up a brand new one up for.

I recently picked up a DD40 WG and it’s been my favorite of all. Had 15400, 26331OR, ROO44 RG. None lasted long. DD most comfortable yet. 7.5” wrist.
