You know what the guy at the AP store told me today? The 15300 is 41mm. You can't trust sales guys, as we usually know far more than they do.

I think one would look like a rockstar wearing a rose gold ROO at a nice high end hotel pool like in Miami or Vegas. I personally can't wait to take mine to the Fontainebleau or Delano this summer!

My Rubberclad was my go to pool/beach watch for a couple years. It's what it was designed to do. Do not hesitate.
