Help with new ROC 26320
Hi all. I'm new to the forum and new to AP. I'm plotting my first AP purchase and decided to delay until I can see the new 26320s, so that I can see how it compares with my current frontrunners:
26300ST.OO.1110ST.05
26300ST.OO.1110ST.06 (called "panda" I think?)
I’ve become particularly intrigued with 26320ST.OO.1220ST.02. While I prefer 39mm to the new 41mm in the standard RO Selfwinding watches, I suspect I might like the 41mm more in a chrono since chronos have more going on with those subdials (to fill the increased dial space in the 41mm). I also think this new 26320 may address the minor factors that I don't find ideal with the two 26300s above:
- in the all-white 26300ST.OO.1110ST.05 model, I wish there were a little more happening on the dial or a little more contrast
- in the 26300ST.OO.1110ST.06 (panda?), the dark outline around the outside of the dial makes the dial a little small-looking for my tastes.
This new 26320ST.OO.1220ST.02 will certainly look bigger (but hopefully not too big as I find the 41mm Selfwinding to look), and I think the silver outlines around the white subdials will give the moderate degree of dial contrast I'm looking for.
Any input or suggestions with regard to my thought process? Also, it's so hard to find pics of 26320ST.OO.1220ST.02, and suggestions on where I can find some?

Thanks for the response Michael. Certainly a very tough call. I was on my way out to buy the Panda when I found out about the upcoming 41mm, and decided to at least wait to see it before laying out $$$$$. As you can imagine, it's excruciating to wait -- e...
