New arrival in gold and steel
A friend of mine (large public company CEO) has been persuading me for months about the virtues of the Royal Oak. I've had the opportunity to spend some quality time with his in both gold and steel. I wasn't 100% sold on either until we discussed the new two-tone 15400SR. Two-tone tend to be a love/hate thing, but I'm the exception who likes it in some watches and not others.
Anyway, after getting together earlier this week, I made the impulsive decision to acquire a RO in steel and rose gold, and was able to get one here just in time for a business trip out to the Bay Area. I'll have a few days to bond with the watch and see how I really feel. For now, here's a pic:  The prior owner was gracious enough to get the first minor ding out of the way which allows my OCD a breather until it goes into Clearwater for its first service. Comments (even if you hate it) welcome. :-) P.S. For those who may ask or later wonder about wrist size, I'm about 7.2". Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I almost bought one myself when they were released. Such a cool look in two tone. Great acquisition!

Very nice! The two-tone definitely works for the 15400!

Love the two tone. Genta's personal royal oak was a custom two-tone model so you could say that's the way he really meant it to be.

Thanks for all the comments, TRF!
I've decided 3 things after a few days with the watch: 1. This is not a casual jeans and sweatshirt piece. Business casual or above! 2. The size is absolutely right to showcase the tapisserie dial, play of the hour markers reflecting off the bezel, and a little of the bracelet links' fine workmanship. 3. A 15202 blue dial will be a great casual complement to the "business" side of the 15400SR. More $$ headed to AP, I guess... Have a great week, Bob |
