Sanity Check - Anyone own more than 1 Royal Oak?

I currently have a 15450 white dial and strongly considering adding a 15202. Don't plan on flipping the 15450 just enjoy it too much.

So anyone else own more than one such as a Jumbo and conventional Royal Oak or same model RO but different colors? Or will I be the only nut out there?

Thanks All -

I did, but didn't last long. I had a 15400 and a 15202 and now only 15202.

Deff not the only one... Whenever I feel like that way I look at mike wood's sub collection, puts my mind at ease :)

I think those two royal oaks will work well together. The 15450 is a white/silver dial right? If so will go great with the blue dial of the 202. Go for it!

I have a 15450 and a 15202.
i like both but i have a strong preference for the 15202.
In fact, 15450 has not gotten much wrist time since i bought the Jumbo.

You guys mind posting pics?
Curious to see how the 15450 wears.
I tried it once a long time ago but it really wore too small - even on my small wrists.

Edit. Also, OP I don't think you're crazy.
But then again, I think normal people think we are all crazy, so..

I'd own a RO and a ROO, but not two ROs.

I only have one RO (15202) and that's all I want. I do however have 2 ROO's (CE Diver, Blk/Red Chronograph).

I think my wrist size is 6.75". Years ago when the 15300 was in stores, I tried one on and thought it fit good but when the 15400 came out I thought it was just too big for my wrist. So I ordered the 15450 which I think fits well. The RO's wear large on the wrist. Given that the 15202 is the same size (diameter) as the 15202, I believe the Jumbo should fit fine.

I am really interested in adding a ROO Panda or a new style Navy to my collection. But then sometimes I wonder if my money would be better spent on another type of watch rather than another AP.

I don't see anything wrong with two Royal oaks in the collection

15450 and 15202 on a 7' wrist.
15202 fits perfectly. 15450 fits me way better than a 15400 in my opinion

15400 RG on strap & a 15202

Very uncharacteristic for me, I usually like a lot of brand diversity among my collection, but I love both of these pieces and they fill very different roles for me.

Two offshores at the moment. Will hopefully add a third sooner than later!

I own a ss 15300 white dial, a rg 15300 black dial, a FC Diver and a FC Jarno Trulli. I just sold my FC Bumblebee to fund the Trulli. Love them all!

Maybe role wasn't the best choice of words. Both dress up or down very nicely, but the 15202 is obviously more sporty and wearable when it is hot out. I think what I meant to say was that between the two I can match just about whatever I am wearing color or style wise.

I'd rather have a RO and ROC/ROO than 2 ROs, or then at least one in PM.

Usually, once the Jumbo comes into the picture, any time only ROs doesn't last. I had the 15400 white dial for a while after I got the Jumbo and in no time it started to look "off" to me.
