White vs blue roc

I'm deciding on adding a blue roc but already have the white one, which one to keep?

Just picked up the white. To me it has more character than the blue. Also, the blue with silver dials matches too much with the steel bracelet in my opinion.

Bleu is currently en vogue as the French say, and should remain in vogue for a couple of years. But if your other watch dials are black or blue, then a white dial would be a refreshing change, and vice versa.

It's not weird, but they're very similar. Too much overlap for me. You'll end up having a favourite and it will make the other redundant.

I'd pick blue. Pops.

I understand your logic exactly, that's also what I'm afraid of. I'm thinking I need to add a jumbo ultra thin or something.

Get a 15500 in the opposite color of your ROC. I have the silver 15400 and the blue 26331 and they are different enough to justify (in my own mind anyway).

Best way to get on a list or get an allocation is stop in to NYC boutique in the new year (early January) as that is when they find out how many pieces they will get and then decide how to allocate them.

Good luck

Blue hands down, especially when the light hits the dial.

I have the white so I’m biased but the dial has an incredible amount of depth to it

Bias here, and prefer blue as it’s more subtle.
Amazing when the light hits the dial, it really pops.

Thanks for all the input, I decided against adding the blue due to I love my panda and couldnt part with it, also I have the 42 ti offshore in blue that gives me the blue option.
