Would you consider a RO diver if you already own the 15400
I already own the 15400 (silver dial) and also like the look of the RO diver. If you owned the 15400 would you even consider the RO diver?

Why not? They are rather different watches and compliment each other well.

I just got a 15400, and to be honest, I am starting to look at the diver, but the ceramic one though.

A 15400 and a Diver would make a great pair!
Especially with a white 15400 on a bracelet and a black dial Diver on a black rubber strap |

From a complimentary standpoint, I see no reason not to. Personally though, the Diver doesn't really appeal to me so I would look to other watches.

Agree with everyone else that they are different enough to make a good combo.

Absolutely. I actually bought a silver 15400 to compliment my Diver and they are a great pair.

Oh no, please don't! I've been considering the diver on and off to go with my silver dial 15400.

I've almost purchased the diver on a few occasions to pair with my 15400. I got tripped up debating between the new version and the older. Still not sure which to get

I personally wouldn't. I would rather go with a ROO so you can get diversity with a chrono.

How robust and reliable is the movement on the ROO diver? I've heard stories with AP movement problems.
