Your choice of rose gold....

[RLXSRGN]

I've placed a deposit for a 15500OR. However I'm getting doubts as to whether I should opt out for the 26331OR in blue instead.

I currently have the 26331ST in blue and the 15500ST in grey. I keep finding myself gravitating towards the grey dial due to its simplicity, perceived elegance (I could be wrong) and how it focuses attention on the bezel as a whole rather than the dial. It also appears to be bigger due to the empty 6 0'clock space. However I've always lusted over the 26331OR in blue.


Just want to hear fellow members thoughts as to which they feel may be the better watch in terms of beauty, collectibility and perceived value.

thanks a bunch, and here is a picture of the current steel APs...

Rubber or full bracelet?

I think I’d probably keep the 15500OR unless you want to get rid of the 26331ST and get the 26331OR. I have the 26331ST panda and am always back and forth about adding the RG blue version you are asking about, but I wouldn’t want both. Too redundant for my taste. YMMV

I would not want two Chrono’s. Keep the 26331ST you have and add the PM 15500. Or I would sell the blue Chrono you have and just replace it with the PM version. Out of all of the pieces you have or are looking at, my personal favorite would be the 26331OR Blue dial.

Trade 15500st grey to 15500OR with bracelet and keep 26331st blue dial.

15500OR is simple and very elegant, good for dress up and formal.

Of those choices I would go for the blue 26331OR. The heft of the chrono pushers pairs perfectly with AP rose gold.
The black dial color of the 15500OR is also IMO a bit boring for such a flashy watch. Perhaps in a future release they will give us more options.
I wonder if you have considered the brown/chocolate dial 26331OR? I’ve tried it on and I have to say I was blown away! The chocolate dial is elegant and perhaps subdued in a way that better showcases the bezel and bracelet. Sounds to me like it may be the one for you!

The RG 15500 black dial always feel underwhelming when I try it on. I don’t think either will be stellar values long run.

On looks alone, I’d go the ROC RG Blue. Very stunning watch. Lots of presence and pop. And of course get the rubber strap to go back and forth between bracelet and strap!

I’ve tried both the blue and brown on back-to-back. Brown wins!!! RG and Brown is a sweet combo.

Tried them, hesitated , lost out on both. Blue would be my choice. While the brown is gorgeous; AP makes the best blue.

I would go with that. If you have a chrono in RG and a SS time only it's kind of stacking everything on the one watch, so this pair is a better balance.

thanks everyone, but Yea Macro I agree with you. I'm guessing if I'm doing my first precious metal AP, might as well be the blue dial chrono. I feel that down the road maybe a steel blue dial 15202ST would be a better fit than the 15500OR black dial as a more restraint and elegant timepiece.

will keep you guys posted

Are they difficult to acquire from the boutique? This is where I’m purchasing my watches from.
