Should I add ROC (26331) or Old School 26170 ROO ?

Looking to add another AP to the 44mm 26400IO (titanium with ceramic bezel) I already have. Want something flexible for everyday wear.

Considering either the newer ROC 26331 (most likely black face as I was underwhelmed with the white when trying it on) or...maybe go back in time to something more old school like the 26170 Panda.

I want something on bracelet and do like the newer 26331 line. The bracelet is divine and I think it makes a great daily, however it may be a little too similar in design to the 44 chrono I already have. There is something about the older 42 that speaks to me. Years ago the Panda was the first AP I've ever owned and I've always loved it's flexibility (bracelet, strap, etc...), just not sure if it's a little dated in comparison.



Thoughts and advice are always appreciated ! TIA

The Panda dial was also my first AP it does look good still imo whereas I sold my RGRC a year ago as I felt that did look dated.

I also really like the roc although my choice would be the silver dial.

Difficult choice to make but with the other watches I have on order I think the roc would be best for me.

Just added the roc blue dial and couldn’t be happier. I tried the 42 mm too and it was too big for my liking. Plus it is too casual for wearing at work on suite. The roc is more versatile imho

Wow, epic shots! I would choose this, I do also like the Panda, not a fan of the subdial style on both the previous ROCs now. Hope stickers are off now.
