26300 ss roc white or 15707ce all ceramic white Diver?

I would love to get your comments and suggestions based on my current collection. I have decided to pursue a 39mm 26300 ss roc white dial but someone just offered me a 15707CB white ceramic Diver.

I think that would look great on someone with darker skin. That wouldn't fly on my wrist.

My choice would be the ROC,I always found the white ceramic to be too feminine.

If you live in a tropical environment, I think white would be perfect. If not, you might want to reconsider.

Couldn't agree more. White really pops against darker skin tones but is very washed out against my white ace.

LOVE the white CE Diver, that'd be my choice, Ken! Will fit in nicely with your collection as it doesn't have to be a daily.

Mike, you are an enabler extraordinaire! I am meeting the seller on Tuesday to see the CE Diver. Stay tuned!

Thank you everyone for your valuable input.

Although both are beautiful; my vote is for the SS ROC with white dial. It's truly timeless and very versatile.

Either way I'll come see whatever one you choose.

Ciao bro

Great suggestion. I had in mind to get a custom made blue ostrich strap from Aaron Bespoke/Combat Straps but the blue rubber would look sharp too

You should consider the 26300st h series panda dial. imo it looks better than the diver and the older version of the roc it replaces

Thanks for the excellent suggestion. The panda ss roc 26300 was my first AP. I sold it to obtain a black dial ss roc (see attached) which I also loved. I am chasing the white dial ss roc this time as I am looking for a summer watch.

or grey strap, if blue get the same as I had on my black ce diver, it's dark blue, it would look great I think but grey should look nice.If it's to go with at least 3 other watches I say diver, if with 1 then ROC, I have the black one and for 6 months wore only this one, but in black it's more versatile...
