Hi, and about to get a new watch, which you guy think it is more good looking, considering both are about the same price

Are these the actual watches? I wouldn't get this particular ROC, but look for one that has not been touched by some random dude with a polishing wheel. Can't tell what the state of the black dial RO is from the picture.

This looks like 26320 vs 15500. My .02 having owned both, I am not a fan of the empty dial on the 15500 and optically makes it look less proportionate. I prefer the 26320 with the chrono pushers, or a 15400 over the aforementioned and will save you a few dollars.

Yeah, looks like funky polishing job on the case and bezel.

I personally like 26320 (even sub dials) > 26331 ROC > 15500 RO. But I have a chrono addiction, so weight opinion accordingly.

I'm not a chrono person but when I selected my AP I requested the ROC - the plain ROs are just too much dial for me (unless in 37mm or a 39mm jumbo). Plus, under a microscope, the chrono subdials look incredible (didn't even know they were also pantograph engraved, or even there, without fine magnification).

Below is a picture of an untouched ROC - the sharp transitions between the bezel facets and between the bezel side and top (as well as many of the other surfaces) are one of the defining features - the picture isn't great, but look at the upper left corner of the bezel. I'd take a few scratches on an untouched watch over one where the transitions are rounded off every day. I'd keep searching.

If going for the Chrono, go for the newer iterations with the "Panda" sundials, ie. contrasting

Overall I also agree the 15400 is too plain, I had a blue dial and didn't get much wrist time
