So many people comment on the size of the 15450 without having seen or worn one.

I think the size is perfect for a 6.5” wrist. I have a blue dial and a silver dial, and they are stunning. My wife tends to wear the silver dial as i prefer the blue. And before anyone says that my wife wearing the silver dial proves that it’s a ladies watch, she also wears a Daytona.

I’ve also had it suggested that i promote the 15450 because i can’t get/afford one of the bigger models! But i also have a 15300, a 15710, and a 26480 so that puts that theory to bed.

If you are a chap with low self esteem and a need to prove your manliness with a large watch, avoid the 15450. If however your good with yourself, the 15450 is perfect for a 6.5” wrist.

In terms of value, hard to say. But the 15450 has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the time I’ve had mine. The blue in particular is now worth twice what i paid for it.

I’m also a Daytona fan and have a 116519, and also bought my wife one, so you won’t find me being critical of you choose that over the AP. But, personally, I find AP to be so much more special.

Some reference pictures to help. I have a 6.5” wrist.
