15400

Thinking about this with the white dial. A bit concered about the 41 mm size and lug structure as my wrist is 6.75 inches. I know I could try to find a 15300 alternatively.

Other option is the white dial daytona ceramic bezel.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks.

AP all day, everyday. Idt the 41mm wears large at all. The silvery AP dial, case and bracelet blow the Daytona out of the water, imo.

Curious, why not a grey market ROC? Would be about the same price as the CE Day with the premium they're going for.

15400 on 6.75 is fine if your wrist is somewhat flat.

I'd be more comfy banging the Daytona around but that's just me. Finishing greater than Rolex for sure, but advantage D5 especially as it's got built in profit for a while.

Eliot, I have a similar wrist altho it is quite flat, and I tried the white 400 on recently and was really impressed, it didn't feel overlarge and the bracelet is wonderful ofc. I would probably go for the blue dial but the white/silver tapisserie is striking too. The D500 is nice but I think I the Rolex ceramics are all fairly similar really and so I'd go for an AP.

If you wear a pelagos you'll have no issues with the 15400. It's a great piece. Personally I much prefer the 116500 black and Royal Oaks blue or black. The silver dial is a bit too monotone for me but it does showcase the tapisserie well

We have the same wrist size and the 15400 fits me perfectly. Go for it.
