15500st to 26331st panda

[tchu6]

Recently got my first RO which was a 15500st with black dial (had a 44mm ROO). Traded in the ROO to acquire my first RO on steel bracelet and it’s just mesmerizing. Love the bracelet!

Now, got my eyes on potentially trading in the 15500st for the 26331st panda. My interest was peaked as I’m hearing it’s going to be around 5-8k difference to upgrade! A few months back the prices were quite different but now it’s feasible for me. What happened here?!

Any thoughts / opinions? For me personally I love the panda dial, still get the amazing bracelet, I know it’s moving to a non in-house movement. From a looks perspective I love the ROC more.

Previously it was a no brainer to me to stay with 15500st as going for the 26331st was a lot more difference in price (grey market).
