RO 15400 vs. Ceramic Diver (Orange)

Good morning!

Does anyone have any comparison pictures of the RO 15400 vs. Ceramic Diver (Orange)? I guess any diver would do but my interest is in the ceramic version. I'm just curious on the difference in size thickness.

I have toyed with the notion of flipping my 15400 for one but sadly there are no dealers in Georgia for me to go and compare myself.

If you are ok with size, rubber strap, and orange on the dial the ceramic diver is awesome IMO.

I had the 15400, flipped it, and eventually landed with a ceramic diver. The ceramic diver feels and looks larger in pretty much every dimension - case thickness, strap, etc. It didn't even fit well under my shirt cuffs. All of the aforementioned, plus an odd pain I was feeling in my wrist, caused me to flip it. That said, I LOVE the aesthetic of the watch. It's my favorite non-precious metal ROO - it just didn't love me as much as I loved it.

I love the fact that its highly scratch-resistant and love the looks of it. Ive just never tried on a Diver before.

They do not wear similarly at all. I wanted a ceramic diver badly but landed on the 15400 for comfort. I don't do heavy watches anymore, just a preference.

Is the ceramic diver case a solid piece of ceramic or is it just coated?
