How sweet is the silver 15510 vs blue?

Been waiting over 2 years now for a steel, blue dial RO15510.
My SA says can not tell when one may become available for me so I did open up the wish list to include the silver dial. SA says it is stunning and I'm sure it is. For those who know, any comments are appreciated.

The silver/white is stunning and some days I think I actually prefer it to the blue. The way the dial sparkles in the light is just amazing.

I think my ideals would be either a silver/white (now discontinued) or light blue 15550 or a darker blue 15510

I think it's the best colour for the RO bar none (blue, green, black or grey).

I have the silver and grey dial RO's. Second I would put blue and third grey.

Photo to wet your appetite, not that it does the dial and justice whatsoever…

All colors are gorgeous, it depends on your personal preference. Blue/Green always command higher price in secondary market.

Silver is my favorite. Extremely dynamic. I love mine.

Silver/white discontinued in the smaller 37 mm 15550ST, unfortunately so. Seemed to be available with the 50th anniversary rota but not afterwards…

In my opinion, I prefer the blue dial as it feels like it has more depth, morphing between deeper and lighter shades depending on the exposure to lighting - but the silver is amazing too and pairs really well with outfits.

Silver shine is more dynamic, has more variations

The blue dial is the most beautiful from all dial colors on the 15510ST... I've seen / tried all of them, and blue dial is the best, and one I chose for me. The blue dial is simply gorgeous, especially in the sun. It's way nicer than any other dial.

Having owned a blue 15510 and silver 26240 I agree both are stunning. While I prefer the blue marginally, it’s not a huge difference. I have considered getting a silver 15510 because it’s a different feel and goes well with any outfit. You can’t go wrong with either.

Have both. Silver is great, blue is fine. Most people want blue based on resale.

Silver vs blue….

In all seriousness though, all 5 colours are nice. In fact I think the most underrated is the black dial.

Silver is my favorite color on a steel RO - looks great in all lighting conditions and sparkles in the light.

The only colors I'd consider are Blue and Silver... I have the blue 15500, but if I couldn't get it, I'd have gone for the Silver

I’d argue AP makes the best silver/white dial out there. As others have mentioned, the dial is dynamic under different lighting conditions.
