15500ST Black Dial or 15300OR Black Dial w/ croc strap*Same Price*

I have a new 41mm 15500ST black dial on preorder and with tax it will cost me about $21k. I have the opportunity to buy a preowned 39mm 15300OR in rose gold with black dial and black croc strap for the same price. I have an all stainless Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chrono so I’m not sure if another all steel sports watch (15500ST) would be good for my collection or diversifying with the gold 15300. The size difference isn’t a big deal, both sizes will fit my wrist well. What should I get??

I’d recommend the steel RO with the bracelet. The best of RO is the beauty of the bracelet. It s piece of art in my opinion

Steel is a much more versatile metal ; 15500 will come with more warranty and amazing looking movement.

It will scratch up but it much less than the gold.

Finally royal oaks are meant to be in steel especially that bracelet

I’m really leaning towards the 15300OR. The gold just gives it so much more wrist presence.

That 15300OR is a bad mofo. 39mm is perfect as well. No brainer for me.

15300 for sure, I came very close to buying one, the gold finish was superb, but went for a RG ROC at the last minute for a great price.

Dealers choice. I like my 15500st so much I have entertained adding the 15500or on strap!
