A tale of two blue. Would you have done the same?

Yes. The chronograph is impressive. Wouldn't regret the 15400.

26331OR is just gorgeous. I’ve decided it will be my next AP but I’m on the fence about whether to go with a blue dial or the chocolate brown dial, which is unbelievable on the full rose gold case and bracelet. The brown dial has a similar look at the 5711R.

Can’t go wrong with either. Get both!

Gorgeous. Because I have a 15400ST blue dial, I’m thinking I may go for the 26331OR in brown dial on brown strap and then later on purchase the rose gold bracelet for it

In that case I’d definitely recommend you buy the watch on bracelet and purchase and extra leather strap with the deployant. Buying the bracelet separately is very expensive. Maybe someone else can confirm this?

I did some research:

-Add a full rose gold bracelet tonexisting croc strap ROC, it would be $18,000 for the bracelet in rose gold
-Add add a croc strap onto an existing full rose gold bracelet ROC, it would be $4700 ($2700 deployant clasp, $500 croc strap, $1500 for four rose gold studs)

Given this, I can get a 26331 ROC with rose gold bracelet for $53k and a 26331 ROC with croc strap for $35k. So to add a full rose gold bracelet to a $35k croc strap ROC the total investment would be $53,100. And total investment to add a crocnstrap to an existing $53k $26,331 full rose gold bracelet would be $57,700.

Based on this, it is more cost effective I believe to purchase a crocnstrap 26331OR and then add the bracelet instead of buying a full rose gold bracelet 26331OR and then adding a croc strap.

Thoughts?
