15400.OR dial white vs black

Purchasing the bracelet for my 15400.OR on Monday. It is currently on a brown alligator strap with a white dial. I really like the white dial for this model o. the bracelet. It has a classy and sporty look. However, I saw one over the weekend with the black dial and it was hard to ignore. Do you guys think i should consider a dial swap once I purchase the bracelet? Or should I stick to the classy silver. I also have a blue dial 15400st, which is a reason why i thought the white dial would complement better. Any advice and hopefully pictures are welcome.

Since you already have the blue 15400st, I would keep the 15400or in the white dial.

I do think an RG AP looks very classy with a white/silver dial. I am biased though.

I preferred the white, gold and brown classic combo on my ROC. I liked black more on the bracelet model.

I like the white/silver dial. I added a black strap option. Have been thinking about getting the rg bracelet also.

Yes. IMO the RG 15400 with a bracelet is the best with a black dial.

I am a 15400OR white dial owner. The dial color is a personal choice really. I went white with the full bracelet because in my mind it's the timeless look, plus I don't wear a ton of black. But you really can't go wrong. The black is striking, but it's not my thing.

I prefer the silver dial on 15400 - whether on strap or bracelet.

How much is the RG bracelet, if bought separately?

£16K I was quoted a couple of years ago, at the time I told Marcus I'd rather buy a Nautilus instead! I meant the whole watch then, now I would mean just the bracelet.

If I have a RG 15400or on leather strap, are most ADs willing to sell just the RG bracelet?

Is there a better way to acquire it?

Thanks.

Some pics of the finished product after adding the bracelet and having the case lightly polished at Clearwater.

Call clearwater and order it. Last time I got a price is was no drop in the bucket! Almost better selling your watch and buying new with he bracelet.

it is always better to buy the watch with bracelet then add on the clasp and strap. Or it is gonna cost you an arm and and leg.

I always liked the black dial, but the silver dial is growing on me. Rose gold case, silver dial and black leather strap is golden! + the bracelet you have essentially 2 watches.

Thats why I try to ALWAYS buy with bracelet and add the leather option. Going the other way around and buying a bracelet afterwards will kill your bank account.

Goes with any PM watch really.
