15400 blue or black

So i'm headed to Vegas for the CAALA lawyers convention and have an itch for a new watch. I love the RO bracelet so i'm debating a 15400 black or blue dial. Not sure the extra coin for the blue is worth it. what do you guys think?

Hard to argue with a blue 15400. They are not easy to locate though. When I went to compare dials myself I was only able to choose between a silver and a black. I went with the silver.

I would go black 15400. If you go blue might as well do the 15202

I was at the AP boutique over the weekend. They didn't have any blue RO or jumbo. Unless they just didn't like me.

If you can land a blue one get the blue one.

Blue all the way, they are very rare to see them in the wild

Blue on the 400 is nice and worth getting.

Blue is the best color dial in the AP RO line

I'll vote black - the blue on the 15400 is lighter than on the jumbo and I didn't love it. I do love this.

Blue is quite stunning, but I like the versatility of the black. If you get a chance to see both in person, go with the one that calls you.

Get the Blue dial if you are going to pay full price, might as well go for the rarest color of them all. I got black because I purchased from my AD with a pretty good discount. Blue is only sold at the AP company owned boutiques and you will most likely not get any discount at all.

I have blue and I love it.

Much more rare. I can almost guarantee it won't be at the Vegas ad

15400 blue or black

A convention of Lawyers?

Kidding. Hope you find a watch. You do know you'll pay full retail right?

You might save $ on Tax if the AD ships out of state. But as a Lawyer you know you'll declare the tax on your returns?

Being in LA, you'll have to hit the boutique in the old 90210 if you want blue. You won't find that at the AD. It's best to try on the RO before getting your hopes up, they wear quite large.

I have never seen the Blue dial in person so I would have to see it first. The photos you see online make it look so different in every photo. If it was a darker shade of blue as in a lot of the photos I would go blue. If it was a very bright blue I think I would go with the black dial.
