Chrono sub dials and tach ring are what make this dial pop. Really like this piece.

to me this is definitely the best 44 black themed


i apologize if this is trivial and i misunderstood you

You are correct and that last one is drop dead gorgeous to me!

Of course any 44mm (well that doesn't count the new white--I'll ignore that one) is nothing short of amazing--but that new Grey combo just pops, and gives the 44mm the contrast it needed from all black

[Bulliondesk]

Another interesting SIHH from AP.. hmm

[Soly20]

If I am going to get an SS ROO this year it will be one of those two. What do you think?:

I'm with you on that, looking forward to seeing them in the flesh though.

Interesting--why do you say that?

I have 44mm FC and I love it. But, the new 44mm in grey has more color variation to it. However, I must say the FC is stealth.

So I guess it's just personal choice.

Did I mention I have that grey

Soly my vote is all black over blue to answer your question.

Paul, I was leaning more towards the blue since I already have, like you, the 44FC. Do you think it would be too much black? Although I do like the black/red a lot as well...confused! I want to call my AD and let them reserve the first one of these two that they get.

This looks hot too:

Good point Soly--I forgot about that. Then yes, the blue would be the logical choice in my book. And BTW, I'm normally not a blue guy, but that one is super sharp looking

[Soly20]

As per the Hodinkee website, the 42 models will hit retailers in April 2014! That's pretty early!

The new Royal Oak Offshore 42mm collection should be hitting retailers in early April 2014, and the price for the steel models is $25,600 on rubber straps and $26,000 on the hornback alligator straps, while the rose-gold model is $40,700 on the strap and $69,200 on the bracelet.

[shnxx]

I really hope they release 42mm with ceramic or rubber bezel + display caseback.

I want a rose gold rubberclad with display caseback.
That would satisfy my watch buying for the next 2 years.

Tough call. Both looks great. I will go with the one on the left by a very small margin.

WOW, that's great news for sure.

The waiting until late summer/early fall I always thought was silly.

Any news on when new 44mm might release

Trunk shows probably in Feb/March. Hopefully get better info then, and if not, at least get to see them in person.

I prefer the classic navy.

Haven't post in a while but saw the new 44mm dial and fell in love. I doubt AP would do this but check out what the new dial would look like in the FC case with a little photochop! I like it!

The grey really compliments the grain in the FC.

If only this is available

[s14roller]

I think the black/red will look nicer in person (pure guess). I have a blue 15400 and love it, but if the new blue ROO is anything like the Navy, I fear it may seem like a good idea at first, and then not look as great live on your wrist.

I have seen some pics that the blue ROO looks amazing, and some not so much. The black/red I can't foresee any surprises.

I look forward to seeing both at the boutique!

Can't go wrong with that one

[Urooj]

I hope the dial colour kill me but everything else is as nobody could do it better. Just saw this online.

The Navy on that new blue rubber strap will look hot!
