Got 15400, eyeing for 15450..

Hi all, just bought AP RO 15400, need the 1.5 link to make it comfy. I think it fits my puny 6.5" wrist but cant help to think it is too big from time to time.

Now I'm thinking to get white dial 15450 to complement this piece. Is it too small? Do you guys think it is redundant? Anyone has the two of them together at their collection? Any help is appreciated.

It might be a bit redundant IMO. I would see if you can try on a 39mm 15300 to see if it fits a little better on the wrist. I have similar sized wrists as you and the flare of the lugs on the the new ROC's made it not fit right on my wrist. My 25860 is a perfect fit

I definitely think it is redundant having the 15400 and 15450. I would explore getting a jumbo or 15300 as a complement. Perhaps the 15202 would even replace all those options in general.

its redundant, but if the 15450 fits better then i doubt the 15400 will get much wrist time anyway even with it being a different dial color. Id just sell it now as i bet it will be going at some point anyway.

IMO the 15400 is a bit too large, but if you like it thats all that matters. Its not supposed to be oversized like an offshore so i think a ROO that fits the same looks better than a 15400 as the offshore is supposed to be oversized.

I would suggest the 15202 as well. No offense to those who own one but I am not a fan of the 15450 even for smaller wrists.

15202 budget/availability allows. Was searching for 15400 but also felt too big and much closer to 42mm ROO...

I wouldn't do a 15400 and 15450. If you feel the 15400 is too big, look at selling it for a 15450 or 15300 second hand. It's what I did when I came to the conclusion the 15400 was a bit too large for me. I have a 7" wrist.

Thanks for replying! So did you get the 15450 or 15300?

Couple of 15450's to whet the appetite.

About to sell the silver dial as can't justify having the silver and the blue, and I've only worn the silver dial a few times as the blue suits me a little better. Although I would say the silver is more stunning.

Is that a black dial? I do not believe the 15450 was available in blue. Blue is boutique only and thought that was only available on the 15300 and 15400?

It's a Blue Dial. They launched it for the 15450 last year.
