I need help with my Royal Oak decision.

Jan 16, 2020,12:28 PM
 

I want an a 41mm Royal Oak. I’m going to have to pay after market to get it. I’ve come to terms with that. The issue is, I don’t have easy access to an AD to compare versions, so I’m turning to you. 


Do you like the clean look of the 15500, the previous 15450, or the chronograph? I’m worried the 15500 may look to bare given the openness and size of the dial. Also, I’m leaning towards blue, but is the grey dial 15500 a better option? It’s less up front, but long term will it hold my attention. 

Thanks for the guidance.

but 15450 is 37mm I believe so if you are aiming for a 41mm then I guess you'll find the 15450 tiny though... Kev

Correct...

I have to say that would be my choice: ...  

And, the gray dial is quite elegant and attractive, IMO

Where is that thread? [nt]

I'd go for the grey.

Less hype than blue, but reflects just as nicely.

I would too...

15400 or 15500 both are nice.

I would do classic time-only not Chrono in the RO line

It’s a personal preference for sure, but my blue dial 15300 is going nowhere.
