Your Favorite 50th Anniversary ROC 26240





If you can only pick one ROC 26240 in 2022 with the 50 rotor, which will be you choose? And why?

A) stainless steel + [dial color]
B) rose gold + bracelet + [dial color]
C) rose gold + strap + [dial color]
D) rose gold + diamond + [dial color]

Me:
B) rose gold + bracelet + blue dial
Cos I always want a full gold chrono AP, the blue dial with gold index is just stunning, and I like the contrast of 50 rotor in gold.

Stainless steel + blue/green. Not really a surprising choice....

Guessing this will be the most popular answer: ( my personal choices too)

1. SS green 2. SS blue 3. Gold green

That hunter green is terrific and unique in the model line.

I’d go rose gold blue if I had the funds, if not I’d slum it in steel and blue :-)

I dunno why, but the blue or green gold leather strap watches really appeal to me. I guess it’s because of more color in general.

100% on this. Add full rg blue for me as well. I would be happy with any of those.

SS green was my first choice and I was fortunate enough to get one, just lovely in person. My only qualm is the dial looks almost black in the dark.

I went for white in SS. In but in full gold on a bracelet, definitely the green.

RG on bracelet, with any of the dark dials. Even the black pops very nicely, I wouldn't invest a lot of extra (either in wait time or $$$) for blue or green, regardless of what the market says.

So Bruce banner in the dark and hulk in the sun? Lol.

My only complaint about the black dial is that is is well…always black looking.
