Hi Guys, I'm contemplating getting the AP ROO Diver and was wondering which colour I should go for?

I know that the Black is the more classic and probably popular whilst the white seems to be available everywhere.

Im not interested in the 2017 releases.

Ill be wearing it casually, not for work or with suits, I have other watches for that. Please also look at my sig and see which colour would fit in too.

I know that the 15703 Black, the dial construction was different and seems more collectible?

Thank you everyone

I like the white dial, the contrast, etc. you can see my post here:

White dial. Throw on a white strap during the summer and its a perfect summer piece too.

Manofsteelpt · 28 January 2017, 10:38 AM

How about the white CE??? If not, white dial, and get the white strap as micky mentioned above me.

Hairdude1 · 28 January 2017, 10:48 AM

Go with your gut!

GB-man · 28 January 2017, 01:59 PM

Easy black

DCheeta · 28 January 2017, 03:33 PM

I prefer the black, but I do find the white one intriguing. Which are you leaning towards?

kaiserphoenix · 29 January 2017, 12:49 AM

Thank you guys i think I'm inching towards the black....But the white is just so crisp.

jay_kay · 31 January 2017, 02:41 AM

I've gone with the 15703 because thats the one I decided on after viewing all 3.

The dial is just mesmerising.

turillo · 31 January 2017, 09:45 AM

Black...J series...easily.

benlee · 31 January 2017, 10:16 AM

Original black for me but white dial is versatile and pair well with almost all straps.

kaiserphoenix · 31 January 2017, 11:08 PM

Thank you everyone. I now pulled the trigger on a brand new 15710ST BLACK dial. Cant wait for it to arrive!

psv · 31 January 2017, 11:23 PM

I had the 1st gen black dial Diver, loved the looked but it wasn't great on my wrist. The 1st gen black dial has a cool texture but the glossy really killed it for me - it is too shiny on the wrist. My choice would easily be 15710. Great matt dial and display back to enjoy that beautiful 3120 calibre. If you want to mix it up, just buy some different straps.

I liked the wet look but the displayback on the new gen is a very good thing.

stockae92 · 2 February 2017, 11:56 AM

Black or white, with the display back :)

bluebeamer · 2 February 2017, 12:48 PM

i like the glossy black dial of the 03

Prestige_Swiss · 2 February 2017, 01:36 PM

Congrats and on your decision. Cant wait to see the photos. I love my 15703 but I can't deny that the 15710 case back is a pleasure to look at

Agreed. Don't like the glossy dial. Matte dial is far better - which is why I always preferred the Ceramic Diver (matte dial there too.) SS Diver is boring to me ;)
I also find the matte dial to be much more legible & easier to read the time at a quick glance (less reflective), esp in sunlight - which is quite important to me!

Congrats on the acquisition, OP!

Huge congrats! Wear it in health. You choose wisely! Stunning in Black. Also the straps options posted by other members cemented my opinion on the black dial.

Watchflair · 4 February 2017, 01:58 AM

Let's see that case back! Probably the most appealing part IMHO about the 15710 over the 15703.

Chrisbuer · 9 February 2017, 07:41 AM

The watch looks great but I'm liking the trainers and jacket as well. Tell us more about those!

The trainers are the Common Projects Bball and the jacket is a Moncler maya. Tshirt is Officine Generale.
