One more question- so I am ready to enter the world of AP and my first one will be at 26613 Chrono. Never in my collecting have I’ve been so torn down the middle in deciding on a dial color. Would love your opinion as to whether you think the black or the blue dial looks better on this model. I’m truly 50-50. I’m pretty heavy with blue dial Watches, but this piece is so different from the others. It’s beautiful in both colors, but would love your thoughts. Thanks again for all of your valued advice. Black is a little cheaper but that’s not really a factor.

Are you sure that you got the reference correct? Perhaps the RO 26331st?

You have to decide which you like more and which fits the colors you primarily wear more.
For me the Blue is the way to go

Yes whoops. 26331st is it

I like the blue better, and that’s coming from someone who isn’t a blue dial hypebeast

I find the blue more appealing but it's really up to how you respond to it in the end.

Blue! 26331 is one of a handful of watches I've owned twice, still prefer the same size sub dials on the 26240 or 26320 but a beautiful watch.

I'll go blue. Have you considered white? It's a true panda with white face and black sub dials. The most beautiful 26331 IMO.

rrschmieder · 18 July 2024, 12:55 PM

Agreed with Octagon - I think the white dial with black sub dials is the best of the bunch, but between black and blue I don't sway significantly one way vs. the other. Perhaps black since you have a bunch of blue dials already?

I saw it one and liked but not loved. I’m actually not the biggest fan of white dials.

TheHulk · 18 July 2024, 01:05 PM

It’s done- BLUE! I love the black but the blue would haunt me. Got a couple of guys on the hunt now…..thanks to everyone!! Ill post pics for sure

Blue is a fantastic choice! I would do the same, then white right behind it due to the beautiful panda
