What would you keep? 15500st or 26405ce?
I'm looking for a bit of insight. I'm fortunate enough to have a ROO ceramic green 26405ce which I enjoy immensely. Bought in late 2019, I put my name down for a 15500st grey face. The day has come and I've picked up the 15500st. But unfortunately due to family issues, I can only keep one at the moment. What would you pick?
I love the ceramic ROO for its everyday usability. The ceramic is great to guard against scratches and the waterproofing just has the edge over the 15500st. But the 15500st is just the classic AP watch and it's just sooo nice with the new movement. The movement and the dial is one up on the ROO IMO. Any insight would help! |

The 15500's are very hard to get at retail (assuming you got it at retail)... and keeps going up in the grey market.. The ROO are easier to get at AD and usually sell at or below retail at greys...
I'd keep the 15500, great watch. If your situation changes, you can pick up a ROO much easier... |

Interesting opinions. Yes, I got both at retail. Im sitting on this decision for a bit and hopefully one morning I'll have my mind made up.

Keep the 15500 and throw it on a strap.

From an investment perspective 100% you keep the 15500. If you are an outdoor type and will get more use out of your ROO then obviously keep that.

Keep the 15500 and get a grey rubber strap, great option for summer in HK. Also if you flip it you might get blacklisted?

I do remember my SA messaging with me a week after my purchase of the 26405ce to see if I sold it. Which I obviously didn't. Ahhah... |

Once somebody else registers the watch in their name they can find out that you don't own it anymore if they wish to check up on you (which they might before you're allocated another watch). I'm not sure how much they check it but I wouldn't risk it if you value your relationship with them.
