I just bought the 26331or on strap. I had them do rose gold stiching on the strap. It really ties everything together. Absolutely gorgeous watch. I tried on the bracelet version but wow was it heavy. Too heavy for me. Plus the added potential for scratches would limit my enjoyment of wearing the watch. i would be too paranoid all of the time.

I’m generally a fan of ROOs on bracelets and really like the 26470or with grey dial on the bracelet, but was blown away by it on strap. I think it’s an amazing piece.

Depends, I’ve owned both and prefer the offshore since it’s a heavier piece and sportier, if you want to go classy go royal oak.

26331or for me. It is more refined.

26331or would be my choice for the more refined bracelet and more comfortable fit.

ROC, that's best on bracelet for me, had a ROC strap but much prefer ROOs on straps.

You should really try these on for the visual and visceral impact.
Its a big difference and the Offshore wont fit under a cuff, if that matters |

I have both, albeit in SS and strap. It really boils down to intended use.
For the ROC, it’s quite versatile and you can wear it with anything, especially dress clothes which I wear for work since it’s able to slide underneath the cuff. I wear the ROO exclusively for casual wear / night time since it doesn’t slip underneath my shirt cuff. If you’re able to slip it cleanly underneath your cuff, then your hand without a watch will have a massive gap between your cuff and wrist. I would go with the ROC in PM since you really can’t beat the brushing and hand finished touch on the bezel and bracelet. |
