15500OR Black Dial or Remaster

I don’t usually post these.....but I’m really torn here.

Just got the 15407 SS skeleton before the shut down, so do I add the 15500 OR next, or the new remaster?

Was also considering just a blue dial 15500, but is it too repetitive with the skeleton?

Give me advice!

Totally different watches and hard to compare. Just go with the one that speaks to you more

Personally, I wouldn’t get either

15500OR on a strap or bracelet?

I want to see the ReMaster in person as the thickness of it seems a little concerning, it's a toss up and depends on the rest of the collection, I think both are solid pieces.

If had the budget for the Remaster, I would instead go for a gold RO.

It's matter of personal preference, which one sing to you more, go for that one.

For me, I like 15500OR better, go for rose gold bracelet and buy extra strap, so you can have two looks. If you buy with crocodile strap only and later on you buy rose gold bracelet, it will cost you about $5000 more, because just the bracelet only it costs more than $25000.

I think it's more available at AP boutique than regular ADs. If it isn't available now, you can buy from grey, the mark up probably about $5000, buy you don't pay sale tax, total cost is not much different. If you buy from grey, make sure that the date on warranty card isn't that old, 2020 or 2019 would be OK.

15500OR if you want a louder watch. Feels like the 15500 blue in steel would be a bit too tame for you.

I'm going 15500OR on the bracelet myself here very shortly. Such a stunner.

15500 rose gold bracelet black dial is a stunning combo...in my opinion might feel the heat for saying this looks far better than the Patek 5711r even the build quality....
