Royal Oak fitment feedback
Hi all, I'm buying my first AP RO and I'm debating between 2 sizes. Here I attached some pictures. I would like to get feedback on which fit is better. I want to use it as both a dress watch and casual watch.It's not about the color, I know I want a stainless steel with black dial. This is just about the size. White dial is 15450, black dial is 15400. Thank you in advance!

Looking for
Hey everyone, I'm a young professional living in Vancouver, and after 12 years of post secondary training I have finally made the transition from being in school to earning an income. I am so excited to finally join the horology club and get my first timepiece. With that being said, I was looking at getting an Omega Ploprof and was wondering if there are any Omega ADs (and specific sales-people) the community would recommend. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Unexpected incoming: White C Daytona
Had a wonderful unexpected opportunity to pick up either the BLNR or ceramic daytona for MSRP. I couldn't really pick but the combination of the overwhelming opinion from this forum and trying both on hand pushed me to purchase the ceramic daytona.I must admit, it wasnt really on my radar and I was never particularly excited over it. Part of this was because i really did not like the 16520s. However, seeing the 16500 white dial in real life really surprised me. The white, black and slight red accent all combined to make something that is very reminiscent of the vintage Newmans, but with a clear modern feel to it. Amazing watch, will likely to be a long term piece as it complements my collection quite nicely.Here it is in all its glory!
