AP Royal Oak 15450ST Color Poll

We all know the blue is the most wanted and super tough to get at msrp. I’ve seen grays ask 23k/24k for it these days. But is there any love for the grey or white dial? If so, what would you root for?

Ps. Don’t vote for blue. That’s way too easy :)

Tried the white one yesterday - it's too much white if you ask me. I would go for Grey but blue if you can at MSRP. No way I'm paying those grey prices for a watch, that's a downpayment for another condo ;)

No - I visited a Grey.

Called the AD right after to have my name taken off the list and he asked the same question

So only Blue for you? Or no altogether? I’m struggling w colors cause I can’t tell if I like the blue based on the hype or if it really is the best looking. It’s easier to pull off the white and grey with a variety of clothing colors.

I am going to wait on the 38MM release later this year. Colour wise, besides the hype, the Blue has much more depth which makes it much more fascinating. If I get the chance I would buy the blue as it dresses down and up better.

The White dial is much less under the radar and it's really white white white, lol.

The Grey one is the most under the radar and good pick if you work in suits all day but I don't so there you go. #1 blue #2 grey #3 white in that order for me speaking about the SS of course.

White can be very white in sun but almost silver indoors. Very cool and dynamic dial

The white dial is nice, it certainly catches the light more and the index markers also seem to pop off the dial more.

That said, I was genuinely surprised with how much I liked the Grey. It is very subtle, but also has quite a bit of depth to it.

I would probably vote grey.

White then grey for me. It’s the most alive to me of all three.

Seems to be the top contender after blue

Hahaha. Nah. I love that Daytona. I did not pull the trigger on that 15400 and regret it. Oh well... something else always comes along.

By the way—I made my preference for the blue known, but I should also mention I’m white over grey. The way the grey blends with the steel makes it feel a bit more like a piece of jewelry for me.

Blue>White>Grey for me, although having tried a white on the wrist and loved it, I sometimes feel that I favour the blue more because of its exclusivity!? It’s going to be my one and only AP so will hold out for a traditional blue dial ultimately!

Hopefully my time to grab one will come this summer from an AD in Hong Kong who I left my details with almost a year ago. Been touching base every couple of month since but not massively hopeful. Let’s see

Ya I think my want of blue is basically a brainwash from demand. All things being equal irt to market whims the white and grey are so. Great looking.

Blue for sure. I think most of the blue APs in general look incredible.
