Yesterday evening I was sitting in the sofa...

And been going through the AP catalogs and internet pics on both the 15300or and 26300st together with my gf. This morning I have decided to go with the 26300st panda dial. Some of you might have gotten a wrong idea that I love the 15300 more than the 26300. I don't, I find them truely equal when it comes down to aesthetics. Both are so nicely balanced and both are killer pieces.

The main reason I chose for the 26300st is that it fits my lifestyle more. I wouldn't care what others think of me wearing a gold watch but somehow I might feel more comfy wearing the ST.

At the age of 25 I have a whole future ahead of me, a whole collecting future so nothing is lost choosing one or another.

At this moment I cannot wait to get the piece on my wrist . I have never been in such a difficult position of choosing a timepiece that I even post about it!

Thanks for the input guys.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new AP to add to my collection very soon. It's also a present to myself for my hard work and for my 25th birthday. I turned 25 on the 30th of December. Anyway. I have been looking around for a while for a good rose gold 15300 w...

I would choose the panda dial ss ROC. It is true that the gold watch will be a bit more limiting. The ss ROC on the other hand is extremely versatile. You can always add a gold Royal Oak later. Now all that said, when I read through your post I sense your...

I echo MichaelC's comments, sounds like your heart is calling for the RG 15300. Personally I have the RG but with brown strap and white dial, and I find that it can be worn casually as well. If you can afford it, go with the RG and enjoy. Regards, ED-209 ...
