26331OR Blue vs 26320OR Black

Thoughts?

Got the 26331 blue in stainless but now want PM as i like the heft.

the black dial 26320OR is so clean and sexy

The blue dial 26331OR in blue with the contrast sundials in gold seems so fresh and modern. Obviously finding one new is going to be much easier for this as its current.

Hard choice

I like the 331s more due to the panda style dials rather than old owl style, think blue and RG go very nicely together too.

Depends on prices and your skin tone. I would pick 26331OR Blue. It looks stunning in person.

I believe the 26320 are screwdown pushers as well so if you end to use to chrono you may or may not find it a nuisance

Might hold, won't appreciate, these fell sharply before.

Thanks, in terms of holding value, which PM models would you recommend?

For new, the 15202 RG will have most chance, esp if you can get a discount on it. Openworked as well but harder to find.

I was faced with the same choice. And after much consideration I just thought that the older black dial was the best dial AP produced for this rose gold roc model so I bought a new one at basically the same price that I could have bought the blue panda.
