Gents, pls help make my choice easier...
Hi gents, am now in the final stages of joining the AP club and after reading through what this brilliant forum has to offer, have finally narrowed down to 2 choices. My wrist is about 6.75' and have a couple of wrist shots to show. Was also thinking of the RG ROC in black face as well. The white face I felt was a little mature for me though.. Pls help me make my choice easier please...if you have any other suggestions pls feel free to let me know too! Thanks in advance guys...

Go for classic
The 15400 suits better.

RG ROO it will be a great way to start your AP journey.
Not sure about the dial colour as I havent seen it in person but to own an all gold AP ROO is inordinate privilege. Regards Urooj |

They're both great choices and you can't go wrong with either. If I had to pick, would be the ROO.

Get the RG RC if you want Rose Gold--still a few out there I am guessing although not easy to find. Otherwise perhaps check out the grey 42mm new ROO--it is sweet!!

I find the RG 15400 more versatile between these two. Of course, the RG ROO is very stunning, if you like the orangey dial

I'd get the RG ROC.
I don't really like the dial on the new RG ROO - plus it's not a horn back strap for some odd reason. I think the RG ROC looks great on strap |

Thank you all for your help. I am probably also heading towards the RG ROC as well in black face. Not sure if it helps that I recently bought an IWC Perpetual calendar in blue dial and was looking around for a sports watch. But yes the ROC is stunning, though I felt somehow the ROO somehow fits better on my wrist for some reason.

RG ROC for sure (if you're okay with non-in house movement) or maybe change it up to a 44mm RG ROO?

Between the 2, I like the ROO more as well. But agree that a 44RG would be even better ;)

I would prefer the 44RG. I am not so sure about the 42RG dial color so if you can't go 44RG, get a RG ROC or this RG RO.
Good luck. |

Thanks guys. I did try the 44RG as I realised this is what most of the folks here in this forum seem to be gearing towards to. Somehow when I put it on, it looked way oversized on me and it didnt fit. The ROC and the RO are stunning to look at, way nicer than the RG ROO in my opinion. But when I wore it on the wrist, the RG ROO seemed to fit alot better (it definitley complimented my tann) than the ROC/RO though visually the ROC/RO looked alot better than the ROO. Hence the dilemma.
