Having Trouble Deciding

Hello Friends,

As some of you might already know, I recently purchased my first AP ROO Panda with strap. Now, I'm trying to decide between two for my second, but having some difficulties making a decision as they are both very nice and ultimately in a perfect world, I'd buy both. My purchase will probably take place in the next couple months, so by no means am I in a hurry. So, I'm basically trying to decide between the Diver (would like to add the bracelet) and the 15300 white or black dial. Is the panda and diver to similar in structure and size? is the Diver dial and black dial on the 15300 too similar if I decide to add both to my collection? please express your opinions and post some pics. I've been able to try on the Diver, but the AD here in Toronto doesn't have the 15300 in stock to try. Part of me wants to go with the Diver and than add the 15300 with white/silver dial, but without trying it on, it's so hard to decide. I also had the white dial Daytona and changed it to black so I'm afraid that I won't be satisfied with the white/silver 15300. Thanks in advance and vote above.

As you already have a ROO and the fact that we will be seeing a lot less of the 15300 when its now out of production.

My vote will be the white 15300


..... Followed by the Diver

IMO the white dial is much crisper and sharp!

Since you got the ROO Panda, I would defintely say RO-White dial. But do you considered your Panda to be a white base dial and want to consider a black dial for your second?

It's a tough call. If I go black dial than I'll probably forget the diver and go for the ROC.

Needless to say, all 3 are great in their own right.

Personally, if I am in the position, I would first decide do i want something different from ROO, perhaps less sporty. If yes, I would take RO and not the diver. And for RO, I would defintely take the white dial, the RO is just stunning with it. But if you really do want a black dial, diver with bracelet, can't beat that.

Look forward to your "Purchased" post.

Part of the problem is that my AD doesn't have either in stock. Also, from my understanding the white one is dressier and I don't dress up that often. Although some guys in the forum state that they dress it up or down. Black is my first selection, but most if what's in my collection is also black. Tough call right now.
