5980 and 15400 side by side

Looking for some side by side comparison pictures - Is there anyone lucky enough to own there two stunning watches that may care to share some comparisons?

If it helps any the 15400 sits at 9.8mm and the 5980 sits at 12.6mm. A Rolex sub-c is about 12.7 mm for reference

I tried on a 5980 today at my AD here in Denver. Amazing.

The AP's angular build makes it look bigger in relation to the 5980 (in my opinion).
Clearly you must realize by now it would be best to own both ;)
