To be honest, I wasn't too sure about the ROC because it was a hasty decision, but it is quickly growing on me. But the blue dial 15300 is something I have always wanted to add to my watchcollection for a while. My interest was piqued during during the AP Royal Oak 40th Anniversary Exhibition in Singapore in 2012. I sat through three sessions of the dial-making talks and pepper the dial maker with a ton of questions. I was enamored of the artisanal workmanship in the crafting of the tapisserie dials. Kong's excellent coverage of the event comes to mind.
