41 Chrono: Blue or Green dial, Steel or RG?

[In-N-Out]

Hey guys, which of these 4 watches would you prefer (bracelet version for the RG).

I currently have a blue 15510ST, blue SS Code Chrono, green 15720st for reference.

I am leaning towards the green RG version since I could have some variety in terms of dial colors in my collection, especially if I get a blue 16202st in the future.

I also do want an all gold sports watch at some point, but not sure if I can wear it regularly as much as I could a steel watch.

Not too concerned about long term value since I won't sell, but in terms of long-term fashionable-ness and timeless-ness, which of the 4 variations would you recommend? is blue and steel the safer, conservative choice versus green and rose gold?

I don’t think you can go wrong with either of the choices you list. Obviously the budget is way higher on the RG versions, over $100k.

My dream watch is the 26240or, full rose gold with blue, but that’s just me.

The green in person looks almost black.

I have the black dial and love it.
If you’re asking about a watch that will be timeless I think black and silver are your best bets. Blue is a trend and green even more so. If you already have steel watches and want to get a blue 16202 then I recommend a black dial 26240OR; not just because I’m biased but I think it best fits the criteria you laid out - and I assume the additional cost is not a deal breaker.

Personally I'll go for the green 26240OR. The blue is beautiful but green is just so special. Saw it in person in early 2022 and I was floored. The subtle green that only appears under good lighting is what draws me to it.

And again my own personal feel, a full gold timepiece is a must have for most collectors in their collection which you have yet to own.

Green on gold!

thanks guys, yea I am leaning towards the RG / green bracelet and hope I get an allocation soon.

don't think I can pull it off as a daily wear, but would be nice for special outings once a month etc

Personally, I think for the RG chrono the dial color is not as important as for steel - the giant chunk of red gold is absolutely stunning with any of the dark dials. Steel is more subtle and the dial color makes a larger difference.

RG with the green dial is stunning. That would be a superb choice.

that's an interesting point. for me the biggest question mark is how the RG would look on my skin. im asian and kind of pale with pinkish skin, so the RG blends in with my skin. that's part of the reason why I much prefer YG, but YG is obviously more limited. Due to my skin color, I think the dial might pop more while the RG blends in with my skin..although I haven't been able to try on the blue/green RG variants though so I guess I'll find out if I get the call

Got mine end of October. My second allocation. Requested a blue dial but still got lucky being offered the green khaki dial. Like it better than black dial.

I'm also Asian and was lucky to have tried on both the green and blue in RG when it was initially launched during the 50th anniversary. For a fair skin Asian, the RG is actually not very loud as many assume it would be. It's still eye catching but not extreme if you compare to Rolex in full YG. But Asians being Asians, I would think most would still opt for YG. And due to the excellent workmanship for AP, youngsters can carry their YG as good as their RG counterpart.

Hard choices here!

I have the 26239OR blue dial - the was the predecessor of the 26240 (6 month run) and the 26240ST green. The green dial is very nice.and I think it looks better on the rose gold. It is quite muted and often looks black.

Do you like yellow gold? If so, wait for April and see what might be released for the 26240 - cold be a YG w a smoked dial
