15300 question

I bought a 15300 white dial who i wil be getting next week.
I need to add 2 links for order it for me to fit.
I believe the watch is from 2008 what do you Guys think?
Should i Give it a service Right a way with a polish at a AP Boutique ?

Great watch, 15300 is a great combo between still true Genta design and sturdier case and bracelet.

Have the accuracy checked, and if it runs well would not do a service. And regarding polishing: very tricky on a RO. Many WIS would not buy a RO if it has been polished. Would avoid it if not fully necessary. And if really necessary, not sure I would have bought the watch in the first place...

When was the last service? I wouldn't hesitate to let the AP service center polish it, as long as it is sent to an official center.

If it's keeping good time I would leave it, maybe let AP polish it if it needs a little touch up, should cost £2-300 so very reasonable.

I just picked up a 15300 black dial this week and I need a link as well, it is uncomfortably tight currently.

15300 is really a terrific watch!

Looks nice to me, I think I would leave as-is until a service is required. New blemishes will reappear after you wear it for a while anyway, so just wear it and be happy.

What ever you do, don't get it polished. That watch looks terrific.

Very nice pickup! I think there was an option to change the entire bezel if it was too scratched up. The entire watch is a scratch magnet anyways so don't worry too much about a scuff or two!

15300 question

Gefeliciteerd.
Very nice and I think 39 mm is the sweet spot for a RO.

If it were me, I'd just have the movement serviced and leave it unpolished. I prefer a watch to be as untouched as possible.
