Incoming! 15450ST Blue
Today I got my dream watch!
I have to start this post by saying a huge thank you to the members of this forum for your advice and the AP knowledge I’ve gained from reading your posts! Specific shout out to Token74 (Vince) for consistently making people, including myself, aware that 15450 is a great option for anyone who doesn’t have a large wrist. For reference my wrist is 6.25” if the tape measure is tight. My wrist is flat so generally I have no problem wearing mid-size or even larger watches if that makes sense. I think the 15450 has the perfect proportions for me. It feels like it wears just a bit smaller than my ceramic submariner but not by much. It feels dressy and sporty all at the same time. I’ll attach side by side pictures of both for those of you who are wondering about the size of 15450 like I was. I’m obsessed to say the least! The range of blue found in this dial is beyond comparison. Over the past year I’ve built a friendship with Jerome at the AP Bal Harbour boutique. He has been patiently answering my constant calls and texts about availability with kindness and most importantly transparency (hard to find in today’s watch world). I cannot recommend him enough. He valued my story and was truly in my corner to get me an allocation.      Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats!
Excellent timepiece and looks great on your wrist. Getting a blue dial allocated isn’t easy, so your passion and positive engagement must have been appreciated. Enjoy the new watch

I too have the same wrist size as you and I also got a ruthenium dial in a Dec 2019. The funny thing is I was also inspired by Token and his post.

Agreed that the folks at Bal Harbour are top notch. Also, this is a wonderful reference. A perfect fit for midsize wrists.

Was the boutique local to you? I don’t have one near me, so if I were to buy something would I need to travel to the boutique to pick it up? Is it better to inspect before taking possession?

The 15450 fits great on your wrist and compliments for your new arrive!
The only criticism is the thickness in relation to the diameter. |

Congrats, it’s beautiful! I too took the advice from this forum and treated myself to a 15450 a few days ago, I have the same wrist size as you. I am really happy with the size, I was torn between this size and the 15500. I didn’t like the thought of it being too big and it looking like I had borrowed it from someone

 I chose Bal Harbour because I have family living in Jupiter-West Palm and I visit that area in the summer. I also assumed it would be easier than competing with the New York crowd for an allocation (which may or may not be true, Florida money is no joke). I would recommend visiting at least once to establish a relationship with an SA. If you can get an allocation for a watch you love then I wouldn’t worry about inspecting it. My watch was shipped to me overnight, factory fresh, just a day after it arrived from Le Brassus!

Congrats! The 450 is perfect for those of us with smaller wrists.
