Best 15500 color after blue?

[interestedinwatches]

I have a blue 15500 but just recently acquired a blue 4500v. I'll be honest, the blue on the 4500v is just better than the 15500's. It is a bit of an overlap at this point but still want a 15500 in the collection. The question is which color?

Grey is definitely out. It is too monotone in my opinion. So it's between white and black.

Maybe even rose gold and black? I am debating the gold option.

What are your opinions?

Can you clarify, please? You already have a 15500 blue, so you are looking to get another 15500 in another color, or are you looking to have the dial of your current 15500 switched?
In steel the white is very nice, but if you are talking about rose gold then I think the black dial makes for a particularly impressive combo, imho.
Good luck.

I am looking at getting a 15500 in another color and departing with this 15500.

I do agree it comes down to SS/Silver or RG/Black. It is down to those two. Hard to choose which.

RG/Black on the Chrono is fantastic. Maybe not quite as interesting on the 15500, but should still be nice. Of course, I completely disagree with the basic premise that the VC Overseas blue is nicer than the RO blue (I find it much too loud), so take this with a grain of salt.

Why not the new 15510 in green??

That's the obvious choice if the OP has a really, really good relationship with a boutique.

Gotta agree here. I have the blue 7900 and it's not in the same league as a blue dial 15500. The VC blue dial is nice, but just doesn't have the depth a blue dial AP offers, especially in the sun light as it reflect off of the tapisserie.

I think RG 15500OR black dial with full bracelet is gorgeous timepiece.

I preferred the blue dial of RO over the blue dial of VC OS.

I’ve got a silver 15500 and would definitely recommend that as an alternative. The dial just pops in the sun.

I would however wait some time before selling your blue dial 15500. I had a 4500 blue dial and whilst I agree the ‘blue’ is quite special, I ended up selling mine after a year. I can’t put my finger on it but there was just something about it that I didn’t love enough to keep. Blue is my favourite colour dial and I far prefer my silver RO than the VC.

As I said give it time, you may regret it otherwise.

I do like this color and may prefer it over silver. My issue is with the new upgrade. Removed AP logo. Longer index markers. Loss of outer ring. It comes across as more dressy and less sporty. I like sports watches. It looks very much like a 15400. I had a 15400, and vastly prefer the 15500.

The white dial is really nice. I didn't think I'd like it but it's stunning.

This 100%

Depending on the lighting, a lot of blue dials can look black in certain angles so for the sake of diversifying I'd go with the silver dial 15500.

[Longhorn]

I really like my black one and prefer it to the white dial. Black dials are only in the 41mm RO, so it’s a nifty distinction, if that matters.

I have an AP blue and VC blue, and have room in the collection for both. They're different watches...

[GoWarriors]

Black *before* blue

[TunaTuna]

Yes to all

[scottywein]

Black dial

[whiterabbit66]

White on steel all day long especially if you live in a sunny climate.

I would say its a no right or wrong decision. The white dial blends well with the case and bracelet under certain lighting condition, giving it a great industrial design look.

Have to agree that their Silver (and White too) dials about the best in the business.

And it's definitely Silver, not White, on the 15500 but unsure on the 15510.

Rhodium dial is the best

[DJH1977]

Rose gold and black. Easy.

[Rockland]

I love the silver, even more than green and almost as much as the blue.

[AL0302]

Rhodium dial ��

[cornsyrup_bezel]

partial to white dial for that industrial look

The impression of the silver tone on my wrist was that the dial didn’t pop up as a good contrast to my white skin.

On my wife’s wrist which is a bit more brown skin it’s such a wow.

If not blue id say green than black than rhodium

New green

if it's between white and black, I'd choose white for sure.
