I have to say having tried a 5711 A ..the RO feels more special bracelet is just ‘wow’ However a piece of coal has more lume....haha |

Great looking watches. You guys are making me jealous, and I have a Jumbo!
P.S. Regarding lume, what an odd observation. |

Looks beautiful from the pictures - the age of the watch adds character. The watch itself looks to be in great condition. I own a Jumbo, and I find the 39mm sizing to be ideal.

Great looking all the way around, congrats!
The 15300 is my second favorite RO (after the 15202 which I got when it was in far less demand) as the dimensions are, as others have said, perfect. When they moved to the 15400 I found that the dial looked out of proportion due to putting the 15300 movement into the larger 15400 case. This moved the date window further towards the center of the dial disrupting the dial ratios. I also found that it wore much differently and was too large for my liking (despite the trend towards larger watches). The dial issues has since been addressed but when purchasing my RO I was in a dilemma as I was enamored with the 15300. Again, congratulations on making a great choice. -andrew |

Congrats, that exact year and model was one of the first pieces that drew me into AP.

Congrats. One of the few pieces that I have had the pleasure of owning that is equally as beautiful off wrist as it is on.

I love the 15300 more than the 15400 for two reasons, size as I have a small wrist and the AP logo at the twelve o'clock.

Enjoy Vince...glad you made the leap..
2 weeks in I am still utterly smitten wish I had found AP sooner but better late than never have to say dimensions are perfect for me I think 15300 / 15202 size is the sweet spot. |
