15500OR on strap

Saw one on a wrist today. That black strap and rose combo with the cleaner dial of the 15500. wow.

Can’t get it out of my mind. Many of these out there, opinions?

IMO it looks stunning. I love RO bracelets, but a PM RO also looks so classy on a strap.
As far as many being out there, not really, you will see many more steel 15500's, APs hottest model right now.
If it sings to you, get it my friend. Its a gorgeous 'sport' watch thats can be worn just as easily with a suit or jeans.

I honestly think the RO looks off on any straps,
to each their own.

Love it with a strap, leather in winter and switch to rubber in summer. It's on my hit list for sure, and yes, it pops!

I would go for it on the bracelet if you can, I know its a leap in price but on the ROs it is worth it, couldn't quite settle with my RG ROC on strap in the end, and def rubber is better than the flimsy leather if you do, so I bought a RG ROO on strap.

Is 15400 but the post was in response to another poster saying that ROs don't look good on rubber.

The original bracelet makes it a much more beautiful piece.

I LOVE the 15400or on rubber! A dressed down extremely elegant watch.

Just realized the plastic is still in. I can’t believe I missed that.

I also just jumped on the 15400or strap version last week.

Had the choice between 15400or and 15500or and ended up going with the 15400or. It just spoke more to me. Can’t go wrong with either though! Congratulations!
