RO 15400 or ROC 26320?

Just wanted to see what everyone's preferences were between the ROC and RO. All steel / black dial (older version on the ROC - not the new panda dials).

If it were between these two, which would you choose?

Thanks!

Have you had the opportunity to see both in person?

Really comes down to a personal preference between a time only or a chronograph.
Me personally I like the 15400 between the two.

Yes, I've tried both on. I like both of them a lot. I prefer the sportier look of the ROC, although I'm curious as to what others thoughts are given the higher price tag, lack of in-house movement, and lack of display case back...

I like the blue 15400 alot. For a ROC I expect the in-house with displayback will be out next year so I'd rather wait, resale on these is not great so I wouldn't buy now to trade later.

I'm a fan of chronos but not a fan of this - I just don't think the dial compares to the Piaget polo or daytona or other chronos.

I'm probably going to lean towards the 15400 solely only because of a lack of display caseback and in house movement.

I mean if you are going to pay that kind of money it better have both.

BUT, that being said, I prefer the look of the ROC. But I just won't buy one because of the above 2 things so 15400 for me!

Roc for me. I'm quite young and hence the royal oak is a bit too dressy while roc has the sporty look yet classy

I prefer the 15400 of the two - I recently picked up the 42mm Elephant so for chronos I like them a big bigger from AP....that being said, the new ROC's are stunning.

ive owned blue face in both models - the ROC was my first Haute Horologie brand. It is probably the more sportier of the 2 however its lack of in house movement is a little off putting IMO.
For me the 15202 and 15400 epitomize the Royal Oak model/brand and having moved the ROC on I have owned a 15400 for 2 years. It remains one of my all time favourities
