RO vs ROO -Who is more photogenic?
Contestant #1 : The Royal Oak Offshore (ROO) Diver. Masculine, massive, attention seeking. Gorgeous.
Contestant #2 : The Royal Oak 15400 White. Classic, sublime, reflect light like no other. Seriously, I can't decide. 50/50 ? Let the photos do the talking! First the ROO Diver. Then the RO 15400 and RO's secret weapon. It's gorgeous backside! So what you think? Who is more photogenic? |

Handy with the camera - awesome images!
I would love to add a 15400 - your pictures just made it worse! I really like the way the white/silver dial appears in photos. Great job |

Both, Ben! Great pictures as always. I've got the same pair but black dials. I love them even more after seeing your shots.

The Diver is amazing to look at in photos but I feel that RO is better in person because of the size of Diver.

Great photos, as to which looks best in the photos it is impossible for me to pick a winner -although I am drawn to the diver only because it will be my next purchase

I'm saving for a PP Nautilus chrono.
Why am I here? You just presented the photographic answer. Beautiful pieces, each of them. If I were gifted one of the two, I'm grabbing the diver. But I'd be looking back over my shoulder at the other as I try with all my might to walk away from it. |

Fantastic photos! If you don't mind me asking, what camera / lens did you use??? And did you have to do any post-processing etc? Those are truly spectacular shots!

I voted both, love the large black tapisserie on the Diver but also the silvery white of the 400.

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback.
All the shots above were taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note2 smartphone. I do some minimal post processing in Aviary to adjust lighting and contrast after I upload to Flickr. Aviary is an online image processing tool build into Flickr. |

I voted 50/50, but if it had to be just one - slight edge to the Diver.

I voted 15400 because it looks good in almost all my pics. I thought the diver was much harder to photograph but your pics do an excellent job of highlighting the detail of the diver.
Please keep the pics coming! |

Amazing shots Ben! You are a great photographer. I can't believe those are phone pics. For me the Diver is the more photogenic of the two.
