Ughhhh I keep coming back to this watch! I tried one on at the Las Vegas AD last year and it's an awesome watch. I keep trying to talk myself out of one but then I get drawn back in despite rising prices. Should have pulled the trigger years ago. Congrats!!

Many congrats, mate! I enjoyed reading your post and I am in a very similar situation now, as I am from china so I was worried if the 41mm is too big for my wrist but after reading your post, I decide to try both again and hopefully I will join the AP family very soon.

Nice review. I had the 15300 (blue dial) and sold it in 2010 before the prices went to the moon. ( Stupid mistake) . When I saw your 15400 vs 15300 photos , I had to agree the 15400 dial looks more proportional, and in MHO is a better looking watch .
However, as much as I love the looks of the 15400, I can't get used to the size of the 15400 . I tried one on at my AD and it looked humungous on my 6.75" wrist (My AD who has a 7.5" wrist said it wears big for a 41mm watch ) . The 39mm size of the 15300 would be perfect, but unfortunately it is no longer available new, and the current 39mm Jumbo has essentially the same dial as the 15300 , which looks a bit dated in comparison to the 15400. I am sure others like the size of the 15400, but for me it may take some getting used to before I take the plunge again. I wish AP would re-introduce the 39mm size on the standard Royal Oak at the same price point as the 15400 . Again , thanks for the great review . |

Love this story and read the whole thing. Very enjoyable. I really love and appreciate that you went with the watch that spoke to you instead of following the crowd and going with the “correct” purist choice. ( I.e. blue dial and 39mm). Very rare to see this these days, especially with social media. Cheers!
