My newest addition, the 26331OR Royal Oak Chronograph with the chocolate brown tapisserie dial on a brown crocodile strap. I ordered the full rose gold bracelet from AP today (3 month backorder) so I will be able to go back and forth between the crocodile strap and full bracelet. The ROC is truly spectacular, its wrist presence alone with the chronograph pushers and contrasting subdials as opposed to the 15400 equivalent is significant. While the case sizes are the same, in my watch box next to my 15400 blue dial, the 15400 just appears smaller in stature. I absolutely love this piece and opted for the classic appearance of the chocolate brown dial that flows well with the rose gold case — it was actually the Patek 5711R in rose gold with a chocolate brown dial that drew me to love the chocolate-rose gold combination and to choose it over the blue; there is an inexplicable savoir faire about the chocolate-rose gold combination I just can’t articulate but can feel. I also already have a 15400ST blue dial and didn’t want another blue dial AP. I’ve acquired a good amount of watches over the past year and can honestly say that today, this is the one that I’m most excited about. It has a substantial heft to it, making it enjoyable to even hold in the palm of your hand before putting it on. After posting my incoming pics, I’ll be registering it for the extended 3 year AP warranty promotion; really glad AP is doing this. And without further ado, my brand new 26331OR ROC:

Thanks man, I was waiting for you to see it!!

I definitely want to get a rubber strap for it. Given it’s a chocolate brown dial I’m not sure what color rubber strap to go with. I don’t think black. Not sure if AP makes a dark brown rubber strap.

Odie-r · 4 October 2019, 10:38 AM

Stunner. Big Congrats!

Congrats, stunning acquisition. Love that RG and choc but already have that on my Rolex 116515.

locutus49 · 4 October 2019, 12:07 PM

Apparently JAGs are getting paid more than when I was active duty (*_*). On a serious note, big congrats.

wiswrist · 4 October 2019, 12:11 PM

Congrats! Great looking piece.

jag32 · 4 October 2019, 12:23 PM

The perfect pair. Now all I need is an offshore to complete my AP collection.

jag32 · 4 October 2019, 12:26 PM

And the whole family now...

Bearxj86 · 4 October 2019, 12:38 PM

Congrats my friend and excellent collection! The rose gold chrono especially with the bracelet is something special.

One watch away from going even bigger and offshore :)

Gorgeous! For the offshore I’m planning to buy, I think I’m going to get a Survivor. On the fence about it versus another offshore though.

Congrats!

Congrats! I almost got this as well recently (went PP 5524 instead), probably my next addition, though! I think this would look great on brown rubber strap in addition to the bracelet for 3 unique looks.

Go for the Diver for your ROO, such a great reference on rubber!

ChipWong · 4 October 2019, 06:13 PM

Does the rose gold chrono on the croc strap wear smaller than the 15400 in steel?

Andad · 4 October 2019, 06:31 PM

10/10.

They do dark brown rubber strap for the ROO so I bet the do it as well for the RO line. Ask them and get it if so, while you’re waiting for bracelet. Very nice watch indeed

Survivor? Really? If you like a whole black ROO why not getting any 44mm ceramic version? They’re modern, open caseback, scratch resistant, better finishing, etc...
