Which Royal Oak Offshore 43?
Would choose the Rose gold or the steel with smoked dial?
Has anyone tried both models for comparison? https://www.audemarspiguet.com/com/e...A002CA.01.html https://www.audemarspiguet.com/com/e...A600CA.01.html http://https://wristcheck.com/discover/watch-drop-audemars-piguet-presents-next-generation-royal-oak-offshore |

I haven’t tried the steel but own the rose gold and it’s a classic color. I really enjoy the heft as well and the new dials make the black dial very dynamic depending on how light hits it

The 44 mm RG resale grey price is a lot lower than the 43mm retail.
That’s a consideration for me imho |

It’s not really a comparison as one is gold and 50% more expensive to buy. I think the only times it’s relative is when steel prices are so high in the grey market (Rolex in particular a couple of years back ) and gold watches don’t hold their value, that you can buy them for similar money.
As to your dilemma I tried on the gold, the blue dial and the taupe. All 3 of the new 43mm dials are quite special. Do mit was the taupe all the way as that dial is incredible. However if I’d had an extra £17,000 kicking about I wouldn’t have kicked the rose gold out of bed :-) |

I think they are all great. I think it's more of a question of what's already in the watch box, what else (RG wise) is coming into the watch box to decide which color gets picked.
For example, if I already had Daytona OF Black dial RG case or Code RG Chrono with ceramic case, then I'd go for Taupe. If I didn't have any RG in the collect and also don't plan on getting RG ROC, then I'd get the ROO in RG. |

As I have the RG I would go for black, hides the logo blob best, or taupe, but need to see it first.

Pink Gold ROO 43
Titanium ROO 43 Steel (Taupe) ROO 43 You pays your money, and take your own choice! I bought the Steel ROO 43 with the Taupe dial (as did Vivalas/Stephjen) and we both love our new watches from AP House. |

I get the appeal of the rose gold 43mm completely but i prefer yellow gold. I have gone with the grey dial blue sub dials version. Versatile

Tough choice.. love the dynamic dial but might lean RG just a tad. Fwiw, I’m waiting and hoping for a grey blue Ti.

They are all amazing. But since you have the Daytona go with the Taupe.
