I am in the same situation
Oct 08, 2016,23:43 PM
(apart from the chronograph) - I am choosing between the white dial 15400 and the black diver. I tried the black 15400 on and I actually quite like it, but feel that the white dial shows off the tapisserie dial better (more colour shift).

Decisions...

I'm still trying to decide on my first AP and I was able to try on a few contenders at my local AD today: A white dialed 15400, a black dialed RO chronograph and the black dialed ROO Diver. I'm actually more interested in a black dialed 15400 but the AD d...

The white dial has grown on me

The first time I tried it on I wasn't crazy about it, but I think that was because the AD's bright lighting caused it to look washed out. Today in natural light I really came to appreciate it. I think it's a bit more dressy/formal than the black dial and ...
Diver is the best, among those, because

i don't really like the new 15400. The reason is simple and the photo depicts my mood. The first time i saw it i thought it was a fake: no ratio between the caliber and case, looking at the back is a pain for my heart. It's one of those watches i call rin...
Definitely

I will wait for the black dial RO if I decide that the RO is the one. At this point I think it's a toss up between it and the Diver.

I have seen the white dial

As well as the Blue chronograph in person, currently I am enjoying my 152020 I think the white dial lacks some contrast, it just have something missing, when I recently saw the boutique chronograph (blue dial) I was enchanted by its beauty. I think it wil...
All winners in my book!

However, if I must choose one, I think I'd go for the RO Chrono with the black dial.
Among those three, I'd go for the DIver.

For me is one of the best looking Offshore watches ever, so balanced. 15202 would be a great choice too. I'm not a big fan of the "new" chronograph, the "old" 39mm chronograph was a very nice looking piece. Size matters. Cheers. Vte
At the end of the day,

get the one that \'speaks\' to you... Preference and taste are both subjective. I\'m sure it would be a nice piece whichever you choose. It\'s an AP! KR
Wow, they all look good. Seeing all 3...

I do like the Diver best. Your wrist easily handles the 41mm Royal Oak, but from a dial standpoint, I prefer the diver a good bit.
The Diver is a beauty...
By: logan2z : October 9th, 2016-12:06
And I'm starting to once again lean in that direction. Perhaps I'll pick up the Diver now and wait until I have an opportunity to try on a 15202 before deciding on a more classic Royal Oak to add to the collection.
Of these, I prefer the diver

I don't love the 41mm RO's... The date looks really tiny on them, meaning the composition of the dial is 'off.' I never liked RO chronos, prefer ROO chronos, but they are too big for me.
Funny you mention that...
By: logan2z : October 9th, 2016-17:15
I did notice that the date seemed awfully small when I tried on the 15400 yesterday.
All good choices

I have owned the diver and the 15300. I found the diver very comfortable, but a little too thick for me . I would knock it into things. I think the 15400 is a great size, but I prefer chronos. This is what I ended up with , the RO Italy. ...
Love the chrono...
By: logan2z : November 25th, 2016-10:13
and the 'Italy' version is beautiful. I went with the 15400 as my first AP but one of the the Diver or chrono is likely not far behind.
Thank you.

I alternate between the Italy and my wg jules audemars chrono.
