Trade ROC for OF Daytona?

Hi all. I currently have a ROC 38mm blue panda that I’ve been enjoying but would also enjoy the 116515ln Sundust dial as it would add RG to the collection. Any thoughts for or against this trade? Anyone with experience or ownership of both the AP and OF Daytona? Much appreciated!

Currently have:
126334
BB58
126720VTNR
228239
126622

I have had both and at the moment am looking at a Pikachu OF so I would lean more to the Daytona, the RG Daytona on leather strap had the most feel of an AP/PP of any Rolex I have had.

Keep the AP.

Both the RG on the Daytona and the sundust dial is too pink

I'd rather have the ROC than the OF Daytona.

If going full gold, I would probably lean that direction, though.

However, I know I'd really miss the way that Royal Oak bracelet shines and glimmers when moving through the light. Nothing like it.

Yep! The APRO bracelet is sublime. OF is neat, but not worth a trade. If you just want rubber, get an everest band for your DJ41.

I've owned both, no contest, ROC for the finishing and bracelet alone. Plus the blue panda 38mm ROC is very special.

Thanks all! Appreciate all the feedback and will continue to enjoy the ROC for a while. With some luck, I hope to be able to add the Daytona in the future.

Trade for Daytona on OF only if you want a highly reliable, robust and hearty watch you can wear without fear of having to baby it.
