I used to own the Kasparov ROC. Lovely in its 39mm and how the chrono indexes move, etc.

At the same time the Daytona is sensuous and way less of a (visible) scratch magnet. The toughest choice... Ultimately, I would go for Daytona because it is lighter and slimmer. All the best, Alex
. Between a Rolex and AP i am more a AP kind of person . Owned them both (still own a Rolex) and i like the design and the overal feel of the AP watch a bit more
Must say it looks very nice , especially when you like vintage PP nautilus ππ». Cant wait to read your post about it when you get it . ππ» thanks for the tip π€will look deeper into the brand later this weekπ
after really looking at them for a while I honestly see them as a homage to a specific era of watch design rather than being a homage to a certain brand or model of watch... After speaking briefly to the man behind the watch the romance and poetry he has ...
The contact with the creator , to hear his passion and later on to feel there passion on the wrist . Huge congrats and looking forward to see the pics ππ»π€ ps be carefull , indies can be addictive π

because I find screw down pushers on a chrono to be counter-intuitive but then I realised that this is an older gen ROC. Hmm... in that case, I would go for the ROC.π
I was being sarcastic. My (convoluted) meaning was that since the Daytona is a screw down, I would prefer a ROC. But then I realized that the ROC is also a screw down. In which case, I would STILL prefer a ROC! Sorry for the confusion, Alfred
Screw downs are a deal breaker for me. I constantly time things (at the restaurant, waiting for the bus, my wife trying on shoes). But if I want to time something, I want to do it right away and not have to take the watch off and unscrew the buttons. By t...
I understand the appeal of the Rolex but I personally love the design of the ROC, Gerald Genta at his best! A true masterpiece of not only design but also of a beautiful movement as well, when it is shown
Mine is the 26300. ROC has the finesse while the Daytona is too common and too industrial. However, ROC spots a FP 1185 with date. Not in-house movement and $$$$$ to service. Itβs double the servicing fee compared to Daytona and triple compared to other 1...
I love the RO too, but in the first version, with caliber 2121 in steel. It is perfect! I dont like a RO Chronos, not with the modulchrono-caliber and the deep datehole, not with FP 1185. I dont like a RO with rubberstrap, leatherstrap and all this worst ...
I have been delaying the Daytona every time itβs come to a point where I am buying my next watch... I think I just made my first impulse buy! βLAVENTURE β posting soon
The 116500 LN is the most beautiful Daytona. If I may suggest either black or white it will be perfect for you. It is the only Daytona I love other than the vintage which are beyond affordable.
I have also been eyeing on it. Congratulations on Laventure. It is good if you never feel complete and keep adding more and more special collection pieces π. Please keep sharing them with us.

and I went for the Daytona recently, but I already own the 15202 Jumbo. My choice was based on: which I would regret not owning the least. Design aside, there are just too many things wrong with the ROC in 2018 that are desperate for updating: 1. Water re...
I owned the same ROC as you have only in the blue dial and a white Daytona 16520. I loved them both for many years, 10 to be exact. Now, I only have the Daytona left as I traded my ROC in while working on another project. To be honest, I really don't miss...
