Yay or nay?

eal15 · 24 May 2019, 06:30 AM

not that I have a ROC, but I'd wait and replace it with the new ROC with inhouse chrono. And I can't wait!

For a blue dial 15500? I’d consider that. No way for silver or black.

Definitely.

jb335 · 24 May 2019, 08:10 AM

I would (for a blue only) but I prefer non-chronos overall. So a bit biased.

AK797 · 24 May 2019, 08:55 AM

I'd keep the ROC unless you are planning a ROO next.

I would never pay the market rate for a 15500 blue dial as it is not worth it to me. But ultimately the question is which do you prefer. Are you willing to pay the delta for the 15500?

GB-man · 24 May 2019, 12:41 PM

I would but I don’t think it’s a no brainer. Both quite nice!

wisguy · 24 May 2019, 12:42 PM

Depends on what ROC, 39mm no way, 41mm maybe.

benlee · 24 May 2019, 01:30 PM

Nay... But I will add the 15500 blue

As the owner of a 39mm blue dialled 25860 Kasparov why not ?

It's a question I've considered myself. I wouldn't trade a blue-dial 26331 for any 15500 except for the blue-dial. Beyond that, here were my considerations:

1) The bottom half of the 15500 seems a bit plain to me. The sub-dials on the 26331 were a nice way to break that up. However, the blue-dial, which is a real selling point, can shine more easily without them.

2) In-house vs. not in-house. It isn't a big deal for me either way, as the 26331's movement is tried, tested, and true. But in-house is in-house.

3) Transparent caseback on the 15500. I like seeing the movement.

In summary, the 15500 is probably a better example of true "haute horology", but the chronograph is sportier and more in the vein of a tool watch.

It's close, but I'll probably just enjoy what I have for a few years.

If it’s a blue ROC, then I would keep it. It’s an awesome piece.

ra77man · 25 May 2019, 03:29 PM

Thanks guys for all your inputs - some very good points to consider.

I'm gonna see it today and decide once I've done the live comparison.
