First AP Question

Hi!

Ive decided that I am going to purchase my first AP. The two I am deciding between is the 15500 (Black Dial) and 26331ST (Blue Dial). I am curious your thoughts and am seeking advice! Thanks in advance!

I prefer the black dial strongly but the blue is far more popular.

Both are gorgeous timepieces, blue dial will be harder to acquire but all dials are nice to have.

I have had both, except the 15500 in grey. Much prefer the chrono version, as the 15500 bezel looks thinner and the dial too empty. If you go for the 15500, try for the grey dial it is much better in person and more character than the black dial while easier to get than the blue.

Regardless you will be put on a waitlist for any RO variant.

15500 for me, I like all the colors, just get whatever variant you prefer.
