Hello to TRF and the AP forum. I have been lurking around here for a while and have been enjoying all the photos and threads. As was suggested to me, and mostly because I enjoy participating in these kind of things, I wanted to poll your opinions on rose gold Royal Oaks.
I have subscribed to the idea of having 2 or 3 really nice pieces that I wear regularly and I have decided that a Royal Oak must be one of them (maybe add a dress watch down the road). My current everyday watch is a white dial SS Daytona so looking for some variation and versatility. I don't mind waiting and saving but a 15202or is really the upper limit. I would only be wearing this when I know I won't be involved in any scratch inducing activities.
As I have a small-ish and round wrist, the 41mm is out for me. If you think a rose gold RO is sacrilege then I have added an option for that as well

15300/15450:

15202:

25960 (I'd buy with a bracelet for both options):

Go classic steel 15202:

Any views or feedback appreciated

PADI_Diver · 17 July 2014, 01:46 PM

I like option number 2. The all gold 15202 is perfect!

2muchtimeonmyhands · 17 July 2014, 02:36 PM

Thanks for the feedback. On a side note, not sure if this is because it was my first post but there was no option that I could see to turn this into a poll.

15202 Gold for me, followed by 15202 Steel

lipjin · 17 July 2014, 04:43 PM

The ROC for me - you'd have a great chrono pair with that and the Daytona.

bayerische · 17 July 2014, 05:52 PM

I have the 25960 in white gold. Love it! It get's my vote.

CWIN · 17 July 2014, 05:55 PM

I'd go for the 15202 in steel.

bakajanai · 17 July 2014, 07:22 PM

1/ Do you really need another chrono? 2/ Do you really like rosegold?
If you answer is no for No. 1 and yes for No.2, then I'd go with option 1 or 2

AK797 · 17 July 2014, 08:38 PM

For me the iconic 15202 is best as SS so I would and did go for a gold ROC.

texex91 · 17 July 2014, 10:41 PM

15202OR would be ideal. Need a RG for sure, and that way you have all bases covered, dress up or down.

s14roller · 17 July 2014, 10:53 PM

Rg 15202

Vipes · 17 July 2014, 11:25 PM

I would go 15202 in RG. The 15202 in SS would be more versatile though.

DECR · 17 July 2014, 11:27 PM

RG 15202 gets my vote

AGKNYC · 17 July 2014, 11:32 PM

15202

VICI · 17 July 2014, 11:59 PM

The combination of RG and that blue dial are perfect! With they'd make it in a 41.

2muchtimeonmyhands · 18 July 2014, 12:21 AM

I think I see a pattern developing here

B. Doggy · 18 July 2014, 02:43 AM

If you can swing it, a gold 15202 would be delicious!

tavv160 · 18 July 2014, 04:01 AM

RG 15202 is epic!

ELITEVIDEOGAMES · 18 July 2014, 04:32 AM

option #2 is pretty amazing. that dark blue dial and the rose go together so well.

Thats the real question. As I have my 'beater' (seems a bit wrong describing a Daytona that way) this will be my 'baby' and be worn semi-formal/formally. Not sure I have the cahones to rock a solid gold RO with T-shirt and shorts but I wouldn't complain at having the option. I am thinking that if I have only one, all gold alternative that I absolutely love then I will make the effort with the rest of my appearance to wear it regularly.
I am still trying to decide on a term for the 3rd dress watch in my trio theory. Perhaps 'boss'? i.e. only puts in an appearance when absolutely necessary

JorgeCCW · 18 July 2014, 05:30 AM

I agree that the blue dial and rose gold looks amazing !.
But I would try it and see how do you feel about wearing a rose gold bracelet first.
Alternatively you could buy a RO dual time rose gold/leather strap.

Enjoy the Hunt
