Daytona without a doubt
Aesthetically, I find the AP ROC classier and the Daytona sportier so I think that's down to a matter of personal preference. I also think the finishing on the AP is of a slightly higher level then the Daytona
However, what really tips the scale towards the Daytona for me is the movement.
Movement wise while the AP ROC's 2385 is prettier, the Daytona's 4130 imho is the better movement.
For starters the 4130 has 72 hours of power reserve compared to the 2385's measly 40 hours. The 4130 also had 44 jewel movement, oscillates at 28,800 bph and has only 290 parts. The 2385 has 37 jewels, beats at 21,600 and has 304 parts.
The 4130 is a chronograph movement that is clearly manufactured for ruggedness and precision.
