Traded 15400 steel for gold

Traded my black dial 15400 steel and a couple other pieces for the blue dial 15400 rose gold. Dial is hard to capture - very dark and similar to the 15202 blue dial. Goes from black to deep blue depending on the light.

Any regrets? How is the "bling factor" on the watch with a gold bracelet? I've been eyeing the rose gold on black leather or rubber.

Definitely not subtle with the gold bracelet and notably heavier - wouldn't wear it to work (but didn't wear the steel to work much either). Usually wear 3 handed watches on a strap to work - for weekends where a little "bling" is fun this will be perfect.

I always thought the blue dial looked the best on the gold models. Congrats!

Gorgeous watch. I actually did a similar trade, but in the reverse. Had a 15400or of a strap, traded it for a 15400 in steel and a Steel Rolex. Just wasn't enjoying the gold. Wear it in good health.

Blue dial is surprisingly dark in some light, I personally like it. Great pickup

Congrats... rose gold APs are another level, and blue contrasting rose gold looks very deep... I'm usually more a fan of 15202 but from this pic you have large wrists and 15400 suits you perfectly...
