Icon3 Royal Oak 15300 white or Safari?
I've been considering a Safari for sometime now but also the 15300 white dial has been lingering lately. I have the ROC Blue and silver sub dials in my collection.

My question to you is which one would you get irrespective to your collection and why?

ROO Safari, since you already have ROC in your collection.

I made a mistake and my taste's have differed in the past couple of years hence the lack of dress watches in my collection and 4 sports watches.

I don’t see any mistake in owning as many ROOs as one desires. They are fabulous timepieces and always a + in my book.
Wear them in good health and thank you for your feedback.

The offshore is just too big... The 15300 is timeless

If the ROC was out of the equation, would you choose the 15300?

15300. You don't need another Chrono and the simplicity of the 15300 is gorgeous. Not a fan of the color scheme of the safari. It's one of the few ROOC I feel like I would not like after it's honeymoon time period unfortunately.

15300 would be my choice... Though I'm very partial to the AP blue dials. How about a Navy Themes?
