Hello TRF-ers! I'm really considering to buy a new 44mm Offshore soon. My choice is either the 26400SO or 26400IO. I know there's been a couple of thread comparing these two watches, but I'm sincerely confused. My local AD has a new 26400SO which I was really surprised of, so I'm buying new. From what I see most of you prefer the 44mm Ti, but I haven't seen it in real life. And I'm afraid that the dark grey combo makes my 42mm Vampire a bit redundant because of the black/dark grey and red color scheme. On the other hand, I just saw the 26400SO and I think it looks awesome

. Let me know what which one you think I should choose

. And how much should I pay for the 26400SO if I want to buy it? And since I've seen the Elephant a few times, how does the grey color of 26400IO looks like compared to the Elephant? I uploaded the pic of 26400SO on my wrist and my two-watch collection

Looking at the exact two APs as well. Both beautiful but I'm leaning towards the Ti since they're lighter in weight.

Id go TI. Significantly lighter in weight and not similar to what your current AP is. The grey 'seems' lighter than the elephant, maybe just because of the subdial contrast though. I have not seen the two greys side by side. I've seen the 44TI listed here between 23-26k and the 44SO for 21.5-24k all depending on condition. Personall I'd go TI, despite the price diff.

You need to buy what you prefer, not what some strangers on the internet say they prefer. See both IRL and then decide.

If possible try both on and then decide. My choice was Ti and could not be happier.

Both are awesome so just your personal choice, and the Vampire is quite different so no worries there, altho you might want to upgrade to the Vampire ceramic that just came out.

Thanks for the input guys. The AD told me they would have the Ti for me to see next Monday. Super excited about it. Will do a follow up after I see the watch

I went with the TI personally, but you can’t go wrong with either choice. Good luck!

Try both.
My advise is to sell the vampire since the 42 will collect dust when you get a 44.

Those are my two top choices in the ROO chronographs, too. While I would prefer the titanium over steel, I like the dial of the SO over the Ti and think if I had to make the decision right now I would probably go with the SO. Both are beautiful though. Good luck!

Vampire for me it’s the best choice!
