Would you buy now or keep saving for something really special?

The issue is this, I could buy an SS 15400 now or keep putting money aside until I have enough for a RG 15400OR, black face on black leather which i think would take it to the next level.

I need some help on this one.

I have the Diver and ROO Panda in the collection already.

If you have a Panda and Diver, I think the first answer that comes to mind is to wait for to buy the RG 15400.

If it were me in that situation, another alternative would be to sell the Panda and Diver, add some funds then buy RG15400 and a Bumblebee or other FC watch.

Great dilemma to have, enjoy debating it!

Since you own a Diver and a Panda I would keep saving for a gold 15400.

Save up, you already have two steel pieces. Just keep fertilizing your money tree ;)
The RG is stunning and will be a great addition.

Get a 15202 or a 15300! Then buy the RG at a later time. 39mm is the classic true Royal Oak!

Well, a heap of response to that question, cheers everybody.

I suppose I do know the answer already, however my feet were getting itchy!!!

I think it will be the RG, the wait will not be enjoyable but the delivery would be a special one indeed. Hopefully I will have it before the end of year all things going well.

Emotions always cloud logical judgement. I really wanted a sub a while ago and could have bought one and was so excited but decided to save my money and wait to get a subc tt

Save the money. I'm in the same spot. I was about to pull the trigger on a 114060 and decided, after trying one on, to get a TT GMT C. For me, it's worth the wait and I will smile every time I travel to a new time zone.
