15510or Black or Blue dial?

I had been awaiting the 15510or blue dial (full gold model) for over a year and just recently was allocated the steel blue dial which I obviously jumped on.

My SA said they may receive only one 15510or all gold blue dial per year so it may be a while until I eventually receive an allocation. However now that I have the steel blue dial I'd be happy with either the Blue or Black dial RO in full gold, and the black/gold model may be a nice complement to the steel/blue RO.

Give me your thoughts and post pics of your full gold RO with Blue or Black dial. Thanks!

I would request the blue dial because I find the gold with a black dial is a harsh look whereas the blue dial slightly softens the overall look.

Black dial is my vote with the gold - black and gold is such a nice combination, can’t go wrong!

Black dial in gold would be great combo with the SS blue dial… IMO

I’ve only seen the blue dial version on pink gold in person. Wasn’t wild about it, didn’t pop like it does on steel or white gold. Given the choice, I’d pick the black dial.

I have the black dial on leather (put rubber on right away though). I turned down the blue which looks nice but I think the black dial just sings with the RG case.

Thank you all for your thoughtful feedback, much appreciated. I like the idea shared above to request "which ever comes first". I think this is the direction I'm leaning :)

Not sure about the 15510, but for the 26240OR the black dial is quite stunning, maybe even more so than the blue.

I can’t say better than blue but it is an amazing watch :)
