Funny how now one ever mentioned that about the 15400 before the 15500 came out. You may prefer the 15500 more but to go as far as to claim the 15400 is soo busy you would opt to go for a chrono is plain silly.

Despite a “cleaner” dial of the 15500 the 15400 still looks more elegant. The new 15500 looks more robust and sporty especially with the minute track.

well this is subjective but I always prefer a cleaner dial compared to busy dial, for 3 hands I prefer as clean as possible, whereas for chrono its different story as I'm buying chrono for their complication.

I do have a 114060 and I do prefer the old 2 liners dial, as I prefer my dial as clean as possible, and I do feel like the word automatic is not important (hence why they removed it I guess), I do like patek 5711 as well and one of the reason I like it is the clean dial.

But I agree that the minute marker looks better on the 15400 compared to 15500, the new minute marker make the watch becomes more sportier than what I would like.

for date windows I do prefer bigger one, since its more legible.

again this is all personal choice but I do prefer 15500 personally, and the bigger movement suits the case much better in my opinion.
