I really like the two tone, but needs to be a honey brown strap.

Nice, I have to agree with vpr80, I'd like to see it on a brown strap.

I'm not sure about this one either.
If they are going to do a tribute to Genta, why not a 15202 with a special colored dial or something along those lines?
After all, that was the design that Genta came up with. Devoid of the second hand. Which I feel is completely out of place on the Royal Oak. But of course, this is just my opinion.

Pretty cool- I also agree a brown strap would compliment the RG better. Would like to see it on a wrist- very unique.

I agree with the majority; it would look stunning on a brown strap. Blue dial with a black strap is never a good combo, IMO.

Nice to see a two-tone come back. I would say my 5402 would be a perfect tribute to Gerald Genta if they are coming back with a TT Royal Oak.

I'll have to go with quite a few other members here on this one. In my opinion it needs either a black dial, a brown or a blue band. Otherwise I really like the mix!

I never like two tones normally. But this one is very unique and makes very contrast of RO and it makes RO distinctive shape and design stand out. I like this.
