Can only get one ROO...which one of these 2 is the winner?
I want to get a ROO.
Which one is the better choice? I currently wear a BLNR daily. 26400IO or 26405CE? I also read that AP is moving to boutique only, so is it important to pulltrigger now? |

My choice without question would be the ceramic, you can’t go wrong with the ti, however the ceramic is boutique only and a lower production model and will very likely hold its value far better. The ceramic will likely be my next AP.

The 26400IO is by far my favorite Offshore, I’d choose it every time without hesitation.

Also, I forgot the most important point. The ceramic is über cool.

I had same choice and saw both in person and went with titanium. No regrets. I’ve had many ROO models the last couple years including the ceramic with anthracite Dial. The Ti has been my favorite ROO of them all.

TI, the CE is too monotone for me, maybe anthracite dial CE is best of both.

Recently went through the same dilemma. Chose the Ti and couldn't be happier. Regardless, go with what you like. Both are stunners.

Ti gets my vote, but you can't go wrong with either.

They are both great. Depends on your priority. For comfort and versatility, the Ti. For looks, the CE44.

Both are great but personally I would take the 26405CE. I really like the dial on the ceramic version.

The 26400IO would get my vote!
You find yourself with a very nice dilemma there. Try them both on and buy the one you like without focusing on future values etc.

So hard to get CE especially here in Manila. Based on AD here, throughout 2017 only 2pcs arrived for the CE!
