They are both great pieces, so it'll depend on your life style, your typical way of clothing, visual/aesthetic preference, wrist size, etc. Have you tried them on to see which one feels better to you?

Are you a RO or a ROO? The age old questions... Rolf

I identify with the ROs more myself

Answer is depending upon if you like a dress(ier) watch or a sports watch.

If in doubt grab one of each.

Diver a little more fun ... Bracelet on the 15400 is stunning ...

I would go Diver and add the bracelet (but I like sports watches). The clear case back on the new Diver is a nice bonus if it will be your only one.

for me it's both. Sadly I can't make up my mind. Generally though I like durability over fragility. I lead an active lifestyle.

It's an easy question of what you normally wear. When I'm wearing my nicer pieces, I'm usually in more casual attire, so ROOs work best. My 15400 comes out when I'm dressed up a bit more.

Depends on what you want. For me, I will choose regular RO over the ROO, I love the classic Genta look and bracelet.

Two very different watches. It really depends on your lifestyle, your lifestyle, and what you want the watch's purpose to serve.

If you want something sporty and casual, diver is a great piece.

If you want something for the office that will slide under your shirt cuff, I would go 15400.

Totally agree. Silver 15400 and SS diver make the perfect casual dress/sport combo.
