Have been looking at this model for a while- I currently own a panda and just wanted some input- if you have one maybe you can share your thoughts? Or should i just do a different brand all together like Patek?

This is the model I am referring to 26320OR.OO.D002CR.01

APRolex · 26 July 2015, 10:04 PM

The "owl" is a cool watch with day & date function. The AP in RG is fantastic. I think if the price is right & the fit is good for a 39MM piece, I'd go for it.

JJ WA · 26 July 2015, 10:39 PM

Love it!

jjnd08 · 26 July 2015, 11:48 PM

Not a fan of the date placement.

I do LOVE the 44 RG though.

I'd also look at the RG Overseas Chrono.

rolexlover85 · 26 July 2015, 11:59 PM

Thanks guys- I was also looking at a 5711 or 5726 on strap any thoughts?

lipjin · 27 July 2015, 12:54 AM

I have the 5726a as well as the ROC 26320 in steel and they are both terrific watches in their own right. I would give the edge slightly to the PP here since I find the AC complication to be a tad more useful but it's hard to split hairs between the two.

Doesn't really jump out at me screaming "buy me!".
It looks like RG overload and very boring with just the black to offer contrast, both from the strap and dial.
The best black and RG I can recall is the Ulysee Nardin El Toro.
Whilst more expensive, and possibly harder to obtain, is the Leo Messi limited edition piece, with the tantalum bezel breaking up the monotony of RG.
You lose the waffle dial though, but the look of the subdials is much better, IMO.
Still think the pushers should've been done in tantalum too.

Hairdude1 · 27 July 2015, 11:33 AM

I love the "OWL"

HL65 · 27 July 2015, 07:31 PM

Absolutely love it and it is a true stunner! For me I would get it on the bracelet as nothing beats RO RG bracelets! This one looks amazing in both white an black. I also prefer the black though as it is rather stealth looking.

Sammk · 27 July 2015, 08:27 PM

love it! its a stunner.. both the white dial and black dial. I'm actually getting the one with brown strap and white dial. Hopefully should arrive by end of next month! can't wait!

rolexlover85 · 27 July 2015, 09:39 PM

Thanks guys- will update on what I end up doing. Has anyone put brown strap on black dial?

waisoserious · 27 July 2015, 11:02 PM

I ordered a brown strap for my white dial. I think it would be best to stay with a black strap if you have a black dial

For the model you asked opinion on, a brown strap will only look out of place and confuse things.
The white dial version, with its brown strap, looks better due to the three contrasting and complimentary hues.
You might be able to effect a small change by opting for a grey strap – either genuine or a custom one – but I think it's the lack of a third colour on the dial that doesn't help, the most.
As always though, if it doesn't bother you, and you really like it, then nothing else matters.

rolexlover85 · 28 July 2015, 09:44 AM

Thanks guys- Im also looking at possibly the rubber strap which might be a fun option

Prestige_Swiss · 28 July 2015, 09:55 AM

Both look great. Either will be a great choice. Lately I've been leaning towards all things AP hehe

rolexlover85 · 28 July 2015, 11:57 AM

Hey guys why is this termed the owl? Just wanted to know. And do you like the movement on the 41 chrono? I've heard some negative things in jt

AK797 · 29 July 2015, 06:55 AM

Its not actually the owl, that's the Day Date with two subdials for owl's eyes. Love the RG ROC and even took a macro of it on another thread.

The Leo Messi is fantastic!!!

rolexlover85 · 29 July 2015, 10:15 AM

You like the white or the black dial better??

AK797 · 29 July 2015, 10:30 AM

I like white on brown strap and black on bracelet.

VICI · 29 July 2015, 01:09 PM

Personally, I love it!
