Next piece?
I'm currently building up my AP portfolio and have a ROO Diver and a RO. I'm not sure if I want to get a 43 Taupe or a blue dial steel code as my next piece. I am hoping to build up to a jumbo so I imagine the code will help with collection diversity, but man the taupe looks good. What would you guys go for?

You’re probably those 2 pieces away from a Jumbo, so wouldn’t really matter which order you go. If you love the Taupe then go for it, the Code should be even easier to pick up after. |

Tough one!
The 43s are so good. I have one and am also planning on the same blue ss code as you. I have a diver too and would say I’d rather have my 43 than the code. So maybe go w that first then the code then it’ll be time for the jumbo. So what I’m saying I guess is both Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you value a little diversity, go for the Code first since you’ve already got an Offshore. But in reality, you could just tell your SA those are your next two targets and whatever come in first will be your next choice.
I think it requires more than three to get a 39mm RO or even a blue dial RO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For the OP, I like the suggestion of telling your SA that you're open to either of those and just take whichever arrives first. They're both great pieces. |

I strongly believe you should only buy what you truly love and enjoy, but you should also sit down with your SA and have a serious conversation about a road map for your collection.
My SA recently asked me what I would be interested in being allocated for the last quarter of the year, but I didn't have an official response. I like the 43 ROO and I like the CODEs, but none of the current metal/dial combinations really speak to me. And with only 3 pieces in my AP collection (RO, ROOC, ROO Diver), I didn't want to over extend myself and ask for things like a ceramic ROC, jumbo, openwork, etc. To my surprise, he was actually delighted to hear that and said we should proceed with applying for a jumbo. He also said that he was extremely influential in the application process and while purchasing a ROO or CODE in the meantime would help, its not at all necessary. Perhaps you will find the same luck by having a similar conversation with your SA. |

Secondly, the diver looks great on you. And I am confident the 43mm taupe would too as well. Thirdly, I'd take whichever comes first. If i had to pick, it'll be the 43mm taupe. I'm personally biased as i'm obssessed with the taupe. My most worn AP by far. |
