Once you try it on, you will forget any misconceptions about rubber being in anyway inferior as a material.

For an active lifestyle it’s perfect.

The Royal Oak Offshore in that photo is reference number 26402CE. It's 44mm in full black ceramic. Beautiful piece. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued. "Nashville Watch" has one in mint condition for sale.

Crazy how much more a blue dial 26331 costs over a silver dial... like $9K more. I understand, I like the blue dial, but not sure I like it that much more.

So question for those of you who have/have owned 26331s and 15500s... which did you prefer? Did one wear differently than the other? Obviously the former has a busier dial; was that a distraction or is the extra detail “preferred” if you will?

As nice as the ROOs are, I’m drawn to the bracelet on the ROs.

They are all nice. Blue is overhyped. I would argue the silver is more stunning in person

Thank you for your service. I was stationed in Iwakuni and can't believe it was been 11 years since I was there!

I am also 5' 9" and pretty muscular. My wrist is 6.75" and I also own a DSSD JC and it fits me very well. I also recently traveled to NYC and tried on a 44mm ROO and 42mm ROO Diver and both of those fit my wrist very well. You would be able to pull of any of the RO or ROO models with those wrists and arms no problem!

As you say you are drawn to the bracelet, another option worth considering is purchasing the ROO Diver then ordering the bracelet after the purchase. I was told at the boutique that the ROO Diver has to come, initially, on the rubber strap, but that the factory bracelet can be ordered for that model after the purchase.

I think you can easily see if a watch from the Offshore collection matches your taste and budget. It is in 44mm and it goes to few people.
