My First Royal Oak
Hi guys,I want to take the plunge into AP, and think the original RO series is where I want to go. Im not sure on which one to get though and here is whyI like the 15400 and 26320 but I have small wrists...I am after a chronograph really but not 100% a deal breaker.I like PM, however I cant afford the PM bracelet and for me the bracelet is the best part of the RO, well one of So what should I do guys? Im swaying toward the 26320 blue dial... just concerned about the size on my wrist.Thanks

Initial advice please
Hello,Not been in here before...more of a Rolex person.I have a pal who is wanting to sell one of his 2 Omegas. The first option is his solid gold Seamaster (would it be 14k or 18k?, we wonder), a vintage piece bought circa late 60's, early 70's. The other is a bimetal Constellation, bought in the mid 90's. The older piece has no original box or papers, but a valuation from an Omega dealer when it was servcied 2 years ago. It sees little daily use. The Constellation is a daily user with original box and also a valuation from the same place.I will be able to put up pictures early next week. Just asking the Omegaisti their views on which one would command a better value, which one would you keep, etc.He is planning to sell one of them and I will try to help him in the FS section. he is a professional man of excellent standing, btw, I can vouch for him.Thanks,Michael.
