Nice review. I had the 15300 (blue dial) and sold it in 2010 before the prices went to the moon. ( Stupid mistake) . When I saw your 15400 vs 15300 photos , I had to agree the 15400 dial looks more proportional, and in MHO is a better looking watch .

However, as much as I love the looks of the 15400, I can't get used to the size of the 15400 . I tried one on at my AD and it looked humungous on my 6.75" wrist (My AD who has a 7.5" wrist said it wears big for a 41mm watch ) . The 39mm size of the 15300 would be perfect, but unfortunately it is no longer available new, and the current 39mm Jumbo has essentially the same dial as the 15300 , which looks a bit dated in comparison to the 15400.

I am sure others like the size of the 15400, but for me it may take some getting used to before I take the plunge again. I wish AP would re-introduce the 39mm size on the standard Royal Oak at the same price point as the 15400 .

Again , thanks for the great review .
