My new 15300OR

I had to flip my 15400ST because it just was too big for me. Well I really like the Rose gold RO’s so I stopped by AP in Clearwater and they let me try on some 39mm’s and they were perfect. So I started the long search and finally found this beauty. I think it fits me perfectly. Came with box and papers and 2 year warranty. I know AP still makes a 39 in the Jumbo but man I wish they would for their whole line. I’d love to get an offshore in 39 or at least 40mm.

Congrats and perhaps you should add the 39mm 15300 st soon, same size as your 15300OR.

Wait, did you buy the watch from the service center?! Or am I reading your post incorrectly?

Looks great, BTW!

No. I bought it from a dealer in New York. I went to the service center to try on a 39 mm to make sure it fit properly. I live in Tampa so I go by there all the time. I knew they would have a 39 mm in stock to let me try on and they did. I do not like how the 41mm looks on my wrist.

I absolutely love this watch. I have seen the size stated as 38 and 39, what is the true measurement? If you own a Daytona would you be able to offer a comparison?
Thanks, G&W
