I have a 15450 bought new. I really like the details on the watch, it is beautifully finished and you don't see them everyday. BUT mine has been finicky and the 15400 shares the same 3120 caliber (as well a several other models). Back to AP twice and fortunately under warranty. Never had that happen with a timepiece at any price level. It makes me question their QC. I can say their service has been top notch. This is just my experience others have not had this problem. On the other hand my experience with Rolex QC has always been extraordinary. Just consistently outstanding. I don't know how they do it with the volumes of timepieces they produce.
