They both look good -- I personally always lean towards the classic 39mm case size.

I think it's a better fit overall. So my vote is for the 15300.

(It seems to fit your wrist better as well)

Just my .02

👍

A lot of time it's really just personal preference.

You could pull off either one.
The 15300 looks a little better for your wrist size.

Thank you for your feedback.. its really hard to pick one over the other... some said the 39 looks feminine.. some said 41 is a little oversized..

The shape of the Royal oak just doesn't fit you well just my opinion you should try the 37mm i am not gonna lie and tell you they look great on your wrist

The photo of the 15400 is closer than the 15300, so it magnifies the slight difference.
I played around with resizing it, and there’s next to no difference between the two.
If anything, it seems that the 15400 sits better*, and I would not advocate going down to 37mm.


* Was the 15300 a loose fit or unclasped?

39mm & 41mm are both too large for your wrist IMO, 37mm would be perfect.

15300 looks better - and its approaching too big IMO. 15400 is definitely oversized for you.

39 looks better on your wrist... I would go for a 15202 for the movement and dial

Between the 15300 and 15400, go for the 39mm. But I would also recommend trying on the 37mm 15450 as I think it may look best on your wrist.

The first ones are idiots, to not look feminine a watch needs to be a Panerai Egyziano? 60mm…. And the second ones are right, the 39mm fits you better, it's very clear

Ok he doesn't have huge wrists but the 15300 does seem ok to me, but you might want to try the 37, especially from what I hear it's the cheapest of the 3

they both look the same length from the 12 to 6 side of the case which in my opinion is what would make a piece look too large

so in this case would go for the 41mm seeing as its not larger in any detrimental way

15300. Adjusting for the non- sized bracelet...that's the best looking one.

You might be better off with the 15300 at 39mm, but the 15400 wears very comfortably as well. I have a wrist just over 7 inches, and the fir is great. If needed, they sell a 1.5 link which can make either model fit nicely

Both look at little big, I'd say go with the iconic 39 mm size on the 15300ST.

I'd try on a 37mm for comparison. I think it may fit you better.

39mm for sure. The 37mm is the 15450, and I see a cool zero listings for any on watchrecon.com.
