AP15450 close vs far pics
I’m seriously considering a 15450 for my 6.25” wrist. One of the complaints I’ve read about this model is that up close it looks fine, but from a distance it looks too small. Also that it is too thick relative to its diameter. I would love to see close up and distance pics of the same watch and hear opinions on this issue. Thanks!

I would go for a 15300 if I were you. 39mm size and better long term investment imo

I’ve shown the wrist shot from both wearers view and third person’s view in my review. This is a two tone model but wear is the same so I’m sure it will help with your question on how it looks from distance. https://youtu.be/cQdx5GtkrhY Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

i’ve also got around a 6.25” wrist, and personally i think the 37/38mm size is perfect for me. i have the 15450 and i’ve tried on the new 38mm chrono and i couldn’t really tell the size difference. the 41mm is definitely too big for me unfortunately, i’ve yet to try a 39mm tho so can’t comment on that one. i’ve heard other people mention here on the forums that the 15450 is too thick like you mention, but i don’t see it myself, i think it’s perfectly fine. i guess if you hold it side by side with a 15400 it might seem a bit thicker since they’re the same exact thickness but different diameter, but on its own i think it looks great. can’t recommend it enough, i love this watch. here’s some photos, hopefully they’re kinda what you were looking for: |

37mm to 39mm should be good for your wrist size.
I have both 37mm and 41mm AP RO, but I prefer 41mm on my 6.5" wrist. |

I have a 6.25 wrist and love the 44mms. Wear what you like, not what people tell you is best for your wrist size. The 39mm is a perfect fit. 41mm is just fine for me too.

I have two 15450’s. Great watch, near and far. My wrist is 6.5”
Don’t have any ‘far’ shots though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also have a 15300 which is a more casual sporty look and probably suits me a little better as a result. Both great options, very different watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been struggling with a similar decision. I have a 6.25” wrist and currently have a 39mm (25860). I love the size of the case and the width of the bracelet at the case. The 15450/26315 have a much narrower bracelet relative the the case size. I’m not sure I would get used to that. I wish AP would have just made 39mm, the size that most people want.

6.25” wrist - owned the blue 15300 before and sold it since it didn’t fit me that well (lugs flaring out). Picked up the 15450 and it’s a world of a difference in terms of fit and overall look
