ROC! Help?!

[Swaye]

Hola all!

So, just got the 5711 white last week and it makes my 15202 white duplicative (in my mind anyway). So, the 15202 was sold yesterday to make way for a ROC.

I hit the Boutique pre-Covid but they had zero in stock. I did get to find out that a 44mm ROO is laughably big on me, so that's nice I suppose.

I am not opposed to getting an older disco'ed one, in fact, I quite like the vibe on some of the older ones tbh. That said, any ROC lovers here who have experienced a couple of generations of them? The 41mm 26320s are out for me, as I am a firm 38mm/39mm guy.

So, that leaves first iteration 25860s (39), 26300s (39), and the new 26315s in 38mm (I am quite fond of the rhodium dial). New version looks dressier to me, older versions seem a bit more sporty, but I'd love opinions from anyone who has owned one, or both, or is just a fan with any experience to share.

My eye is drawn to the 26300s in both reverse panda blue with orange hands, and the dark blue (dial and subs). All whites are out because of the aformentioned 5711. If I was made of money I'd have multiples, but in the the real world where money matters I am trying to have different looks within the collection. Open to ANY comments or guidance from the sages around these parts. 26300s are getting harder to find full set and in good shape, so not a huge consideration but something I have noticed.

Some photos of the versions that have really caught my eye. Thanks!
