Friends!

Cant decide between the brown or blue dial on the AP Rose Gold. Picking up tomorrow, any suggestions or thoughts on which one looks better? sorry i cant link pictures.

Blue dial for sure but the brown isn't far behind.

Im really struggling. I know blue is the new trend but that brown is something else in person. The blue really pops though

in person i think the brown is way nicer, by a lot and i really like to blue too. However I would struggle buying it as im generally not a fan of brown dials.

I'm no help, sorry

What a great place to be, deciding between those two. Both are gorgeous but my preference on the wrist is the brown. The blue dial looks amazing with the SS version but with the rose gold, the brown is just exquisite.

The great thing is, you can't go wrong...whatever the heart says...go with it.

Brown dial is beautiful, but you might keep questioning yourself down the road. I think blue is the safe bet here.

I was lucky enough to try them both side by side recently. Seeing them together on display my initial thought was the blue dial looked much nicer but to my surprise once I had them on my wrist I actually thought the brown dial looked much better so brown would be my choice. Both are beauty’s though so can’t go wrong either way

yeah , u have to try it, thats the only way. When they call me for my Daytona C, i was down for the white dial. My AD got a black and white dial, i tried them both, and i Asked my AD if I could get the black instead , luckily he allow that and i have my black dial Daytona. I suspect that A similar thing might be happening here,
Cheers

Think I prefer blue for the 15202 rose gold, but brown on this chrono.

I tried both side by side. In general I like AP blue, but the brown on this one wins. Something about the subdials - it overall looks better with the brown dial.

I thought most would go for blue as usual so surprised to see so many for brown, I have a brown Nautilus and had a brown DD2 so I know it works with RG wonderfully.

It would be nice to try them both... depends lots of color against skin tone... as many mentioned, blue can be nicer in the display but as seen od 111forza pics brown looks beautiful on the wrist...
