My favourite is the Diver with an extra SS bracellet.

Tough call - only you can decide. So personal and all are nice so pick the one that sings to you the most!

Difficult choice, I might get the ROC first and add the diver or vice versa.

The one on top looks versatile but you should see it with a bracelet to judge the effect of the black dial--might work with bracelet and rubber strap.
The one in the middle looks made for the bracelet (probably vice versa) and seems the most versatile for dress or casual in warm areas. The one on the bottom is the most entertaining to look at and is the "sport" of the 3 (mainly due to the red accents)--however it might look "ruggedly handsome" in a bracelet. Three good choices to make. Have fun contemplating. |

As a first AP from the ones you posted, I would get the new ROC see the other 2 dial colors to make sure what you like.
I would also consider looking at the RO 15300 (white dial) As been said, you really can't go wrong with any

I like the look of the ROC on you. Both sporty and can be dressed up.
Have fun deciding! ;) |
