Thinking about 39mm 15300.st and 26300.st

So I am a little late to the game and just started to get curious on these 2 models. So far, blue looks pretty cool though white may look better on my skin tone(darker skin Asian) so a little torn here. Mind if I can request for some wrist shots to give me more perspective guys? Thank you for the enabling :-)

I let my 15300 go for a jumbo, so I can only enable that one.

Fred, I am SE Asian myself. Here are a few shots of both the 15300 black and white RO, and the 26300 ROC black dial on my wrist. I have since sold the 26300 black because I would prefer to land a white or navy one. Hope these photos help in your decision.

Some great stuff guys. I am thinking a 15300 in white and 26300 in blue will be a wonderful pairing. Now I just got to go find them both

Thank you Gents

Good plan Fred! If you happen to be lucky enough to find a dealer/seller with 2 blue ROCs, please let me know. I am ready.

Great choices Fred - I'm torn between the 39mm and 41mm myself - love my 15400 blue dial, but I've seen some really lovely 15300's in blue lately on different sales boards so it has me thinking...but the 15202 is also quite special...damn it!

Good luck with your search and looking forward to your wrist shots once they arrive!

This is the dark blue 25860 (looks charcoal or black on my wrist). I have a 6.5" wrist and am half Filipino so slightly lighter skin tone.

You can never be late to the game, fact of the matter is the 39mm Royal Oak is still a favorite by a lot of enthusiast. You are on the right track, the white RO and blue chrono will be a great combo. Have you considered this blue? I think the orange and blue are a great combo. (these are not my pics, just pics I have saved over the years)

Also FYI that that chrono blue with white dial hands posted earlier has different versions of the blue on the dial depending on the year it was produced, some are darker and more black than others. You have to really do research to see which serial corresponds to which blue if you want a certain shade of blue.

Good luck hunting!

Thanks so much for the pointer my friend. I have seen the 26300ST blue in person once and even in the dark, very striking. Glad to know in advance that there is a subtle difference in the shade of blue from one model to another - thank you
