Please help me decide

I'm trying to pick between the Black Dial 15400 ST or 15400 OR with Black Alligator strap. I'll ise either of these as a dress watch. Any input is great appreciated! Thanks in advance

Oh Rach. Grad the rose gold. Other than Audemars Piguet, no body makes rose gold that sweet

I don’t think there’s much any of us can say to sway your own decision making process – ultimately you’re the one that has to decide which makes the most sense for its intended usage.
Personally, I’d suggest the SS and get the deployant and leather strap, and plots separately, to allow you to switch it to a more dressy look, as and when needed.

If you do decide to opt for the strap swapping, here’s the part numbers you’ll need to ask for:

plots – PL.222.066.ST
deployant – DP.0401.018.ST

Leather straps are in black, brown, blue, and grey, and rubber straps are in black and blue.

I'd go with that second option. The watches have a different feel with the different straps/bracelet.


Thanks,

I think the white dial looks way better with gold for 15400. And black for steel.

I went 15400 RG with silver dial on brown leather strap but recently switched to black and love it!

If money is not an objection go for 15400OR black face, if you want to have 3 watch looks for a lot less money then go for the 15400 black face and you can get the parts to change the bracelet for a leather strap or rubber, so you can switch between the 3 (bracelet, leather and rubber) which is the way I went.

Thanks guys! You guys make it a lot easier for me To choose! The rose gold on the strap is definitely stunning! I'll probably go with the black dial. White is very good looking too, but the black is a little more my tone.

Good choice, I would go with black too now, the contrast with gold is cool and sexy.

Great piece you got there, I originally wanted to do that piece, but after looking at the price, the 15400 OR is probably the best I can do for the moment!

Not much of a fan on straps on the RO line so my choice would be the 15202 in SS if you cannot stretch to the all RG 202 version.
