"Plus we hardly see any here so they are not that popular"? Actually that means the opposite is true. Honestly, it is a little embarrassing for you at this point. We get it, you prefer other options but you don't make a coherent argument about the point of the thread and are grasping at straws to justify your taste. |

Not very many 15300’s for sale

To be fair both those 15300 were blue and nobody is listing blue 15500 for that low. Closer to 30k ask and Thanh sold one quick. I think all steel royal oaks are desirable. Prices may vary but they are all liquid.

True on the blue. But the 15300 blue has been escalating, the 15500's just came out and are asking that, you think they will continue to rise as well? Anyhow, my only point is that someone here has some really strange logic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Keep in mind AP only makes around 40,000 watches a year and the stainless Royal Oaks are a small portion of that number so that’s one factor.
I do agree the 15300 is the perfect RO with the same 39mm size but added water resistance with a screw down crown, the added seconds hand and a beefier case and bracelet. That being said, I’ve never seen one in person. Several years back I passed on a 15202 from an AD because I felt the bracelet was too dainty and I was scared of the non screw down crown and a bit annoyed by the lack of a quick set date. So.. I bought a black 15400 over a 5167 and am very happy with my choice as I got it for around 20%off MSRP BNIB from that trusted seller in Orlando. Granted it was 2016. I saw David had a white 15300 in good condition on his site the other day under $20k and it disappeared very quickly. To me the white is the one to get since it has the matching date wheel. Although I have seen some posts where owners sent in their blue and black 15300’s for service and you can now get a matching date wheel. Unless they bring back a 15300 size royal oak, I think it will do very well in the future. I wouldn’t discount a re-issue of a 38-39mm RO. Remember, the just released a 38mm ROC |

I do not see demand for the RO in steel going down unless all boats are sinking that is for certain.

Prices have moved up for many things, esp for some discoed pieces but that does not mean they are super popular now, they are just rare and caught up in the hype so their prices move faster, look at the PP 5980 and 5726 as a comparison, those have shot up in price but they are and were never a very popular Nautilus. And if they were very popular we would see more of them on this forum, and I'm NOT talking about for sale as you keep going on about. Stop being so defensive, these are the facts of the history of the watch. |

Some sensitive people on here.
I think AK797 made reasonable arguments about the past popularity (or lack of) of the 15300. And others have made good points about why THEY prefer other RO models. Others have made good cases for why THEY prefer the 15300. They’re all great models, and nobody’s preferences are wrong. As to the original question, they are scarce on the second hand market mostly because they have been discontinued for 7 years, and were never made in great numbers in the first place. Likewise, I’m sure in 2026, there will be fewer 15400s on the used market than 15500s. That won’t prove anything in regards to popularity. |

15300 owners seem to be extra sensitive about what others think, it's a nice AP, enjoy it. Potential future collectible but currently not as popular as 400/202/500. The thread topic opens the discussion to various opinions, no need to be so defensive and besides OP bailed a while ago.

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinions. You will find the greatest value in the enjoyment you get in wearing your particular piece.
The 15300 owners will prefer their 15300; the 15400 owners will prefer their 15400, and so forth. At the end of the day, watches are like farts. Everyone prefers their own.

The 15300 seems to have a lot of merit as a daily beater, I'm looking for one if anyone has any leads.
