ROC 26320 - black or white?
Hi all,Further to my earlier thread I have managed to try on a Royal Oak Chrono with white dial. Which was amazing! Seriously tempted.I haven't managed to see a black dial in person, and am wondering if I need to do this before making a decision.I have seen and worn a 15400 in black and white, and prefer black in 15400 but seem to prefer white in 26320.I am sure the black vs white for this model has been done many a time before, but I'd be keen to hear any thoughts and see any pictures!

Help!
Hi everyone,I am debating if I should trade my ss rubberclad for a rg roc. My problem is that I have a daytona and once I get that rg roc it'll feel like the same watch. Also I am not gonna get rid of my daytona I have strong sentimental feelings toward it. So any suggestion? Or should I just get a pam 233 and call it a day.

Another Daytona to AP RO thread...
Hi everyone,I never thought this would happen but I'm slowly being drawn into the Royal Oak models, particularly the 15300 and/or the 15400.I have half a mind to flip my SS Black Daytona for one, and wanted to get some thoughts on this. I always thought that AP was a fad type of watch, but after reading up on its history I have come to respect the brand, and the Royal Oak line (I've yet to warm up to the Offshore models, I find them too chunky for my wrist).My current Rolex collection consists of the Daytona, an Exp 1 39mm and an Explorer 2 40mm. I have several other watches from other brands that I consider iconic watches from that particular brand.The thing is, would it make good sense to flip my Daytona for the RO? My justification is that I already have two Rolexes, and, I guess at this point in time, I'm aiming for more variety in my collection. I'm also thinking that if the Royal Oak doesn't work for me in the long run, I could always flip it again.In terms of whether I like

Would love your opinion
Is a Datejust 41, blue face, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet a bit too flashy for everyday casual wear?At bit of context... I'm 46 in a professional, but casual, setting. No one around has any watch game. I'm typically in a polo with a sweater vest. I'm wanting to venture into that Rolex but don't want it to stick out too much. Plan on the watch being an heirloom that I can pass down to my son but would be an everyday wear. I've heard that fluted and jubilee don't show scratches as much as the smooth on oyster. How much is that a factor?I keep vacillating between smooth bezel on oyster and fluted bezel on jubilee. I'm not much on the Rolex options with numbers on the bezel like the Sea Dweller or Sub-Mariner.I'd love the collective wisdom of TRF.
