Incoming……

So, the NEW ROC rose gold arrived today…..
First impression:
The dial it’s more balanced with all three counters same size
The date need to accommodate because if you have and old ROC you want to find it to around middle of the dial
The stop second it’s a big step forward
The small thickness it’s subtle but somehow give to watch more consistency

Wow, wow, wow. Congrats!

Can you by chance do a side by side profile shot? I'd love to be able to see the case heights side by side. Pretty please. =)

Congrats looks great! Is the blue dial not as dark as it was on the previous RG ROC blue/gold dials which were muted/darker in person?

I don’t see any difference between blue on this dial and my ROC 26331…..

Interesting. On the AP website the blue on the 26293OR looks darker and that on the 26331OR looks lighter than that of the 26331ST (although 26293 and 26331 are pretty close).

Before send me the watch, my AD told me that must to see it live because it’s a new kind of blue….. today I compare it with my ROC 26331 and I don’t see difference…… maybe I’m not so subtle….)))

Oh neat, it looks like they fixed the date position not being centered between the 4 and 5 hour markers?

Congrats! How is the thickness compared to your 26331ST?

Congrats! My $0.02 on the new dial, I love the date window adjustment, but the smaller upper sub dials appear to be pushed out with a larger gap in the middle. I prefer the sub dial cluster of the 26331, but overall both are incredible references!

I'm clearly biased but I prefer the older version. I like how the lower subdial is a bit smaller rather than all three the same. Slightly annoying the date window isn't centred between markers, but in all honesty I don't notice that. However, given the option I'd actually prefer no date window at all, centred or not, as it spoils the symmetry of the dial.
