Since you have the luxury of having two great watches.
Which one would you say holiness more?
Which one is more fun to wear and look at?

Thanks! Wears very similar, maybe slightly smaller but very close. Both are incredible pieces, can’t go wrong with either (though the blue is something else on the VC!)

Congrats! Any chance you can put your 15500 and VC on bracelet both on your wrist. Would love to see them next to each other

The Grey 15500 photos terribly, looks blah. My buddy and his wife showed up last night and she was rocking the 37MM RO in grey (don't know the model) It looked amazing in person both inside and out in the sun. I moved myself from the silver list to the grey this morning with my AD . Stunning in person and a must have for me.

BTY the Blue VC both photos well and looks great in person.

Nice pair.

Completely agree on the grey, good choice, you won’t regret it (and my photo skills don’t help). Here is a pic I found online last year (not mine) of the 15400 grey which made me decide on grey (and a pic of mine when I first got it)
