New Navy ROO - easy colour to use?

[justdate]

Hi,

I am brand new to the AP brand, tried some on yesterday and wow, I fell in love!!

I love the rose gold Royal oak with leather strap, but I think a better starting point would be a Royal Oak Offshore - lower entry price and better daily watch for my lifestyle. I love the rubber strap on a premium watch, very cool.

So I am now considering a few models, the new navy dial + navy strap 26470 - which I have found for £14k for a brand new one.



The others are the 26170 Navy and the 26170 Panda - both costing about £10k for a used one.

So I have a couple of questions.

(1) Does anyone have any experience of using this new navy ROO? I tried it on yesterday and it looked amazing, but I had a blue t-shirt and jeans on, so naturally it matched perfectly! I just wonder when using other colour clothes if the blue ends up clashing or if it still looks just as good?

How easy is it to use basically I want to know, as I intend to use it as my daily watch and put my YG GMT-IIC to rest for special occasions.

(2) Is it a good idea to spend the extra £4k to get a brand new 26470 over a used 26170? I am concerned with reliability and most of all not taking a big hit come resale time & depreciation.


Thanks a lot for any info.
