Would a Cherry (Red) Royal Oak be cool?

Similar to Rolex 118346

There was recently a Thai Edition red perp calendar. I thought it personally looked horrible. Super hard to match with anything too.

The second one makes me weak in the knees, sadly IRL it isn't nearly as vibrant, a very dark purple. Much akin to how the green AP is much darker in real life. If going QP, I would take the Salmon 26615 any day.

The Arabic one is interesting, but I don’t like the odd look of the date numerals since they are not in Arabic too.

Also, I agree that this dial color will usually look more black or dark grey IRL, except in brighter light conditions.

There was a red dial RO in the 90s - 14790ST, an automatic 36mm three hander with date.

Two red dialled Offshore limited editions (Rhone Fusterie and Singapore Grand Prix) plus the 25770 with red dial.

That Red is too vivid.

This is what I had in mind:

I really love the red perpetual calendar of Thailand edition, it’s such a gorgeous timepiece.

I think the red/wine color of the QP is a stunner and that the color would make perfect sense in a regular production time only RO. It would be less financial commitment to something that you maybe wouldn't wear as much as blue/black/silver dial.

Personally, I feel the color would be more versatile then the green dial. At least for me. Also, how good would it look with a white rubber strap!

If they released it, it would go to the top of my list for a 41mm time only RO.

Yes, exactly, and also various other 90s models, like the 77151 (36mm Lady Offshore), 66800 (Lady Date), and 25808 (Full Calendar).
