Would any guys here wear a 15451 royal oak? (15450 with diamonds)
I’ve been considering getting a 37mm ROO (15450) and my SA has the black dial with diamonds in stock, can also order the blue dial 15451 for MSRP.
It’s only a bit more than the base steel and I actually quite like the look - that bezel is a scratch magnet so maybe diamonds can hide that... plus it’s a much shorter wait I know the 37mm is unisex and quite a few male members here have one. But with diamonds, is it pushing too much towards a ladies watch? Just don’t want to be mistaken wearing the wife’s at the next G2G |

To each their own, but personally I do find it a feminine look (my SA in Singapore wore that watch and it looked great on her).
And at about $5.5K more, I think that’s a pretty significant price premium. Yes, it would hide/prevent bezel scratches, but the brushed bezel is one of my favorite features of the traditional Royal Oak. That’s one of the reasons I passed on an IP RO. And yes, this watch with diamonds is more available than the 15450STs. |

The 15450 is feminine enough on it's own...

Yes, I have tried it on.
I can say that the watch definitely looks feminine alright. Even on my 6 1/4 inch wrist! No go for me. |

My sister in law has a blue dial, got almost 20% off retail. It looked very small on my 6.5-6.75 wrist.

Somehow I feel baguettes would work better for you

Nooooo! 7” wrist can’t pull off the 37mm, especially since you have a 44 ROO

I would not contemplate buying this watch and certainly wouldn’t wear it.
