So I've been toying with the idea of trading in my 15400 for a Diver. Mainly because I think I would wear the Diver more because of its casual nature. Has anyone gone this route and regretted it?

Does anyone have any side to side comparisons?

I added and would strongly recommend that if it's an option. Love the diver (had two, still have one) but you will find times where only a RO will do.

I would do it, I only traded mine for a RG one, but wear my cousin's Diver every chance I get, love it still.

I used to have a 15300, sold it and have not looked back...

I used to have a 15300 however my diver is enough AP for me

Im actually thinking the same thing. Thinking I would get ripped on the trade. I have a rolex sub and it gets lots more wrist time due to the way the ro scratches. I do think the rubber on the diver suits my lifestyle better.

I went from 15400 to the diver and I didn't regret it at all. The diver is absolutely wonderful!

If you would wesr diver more I'd say do it.

csi-n · 31 March 2015, 10:08 PM

I would do it in a heartbeat, especially since you think you'd wear it more.

Thanks guys. I like the option of throwing a bracelet on the Diver too if I want.....or even a leather strap.

gummy · 1 April 2015, 06:23 AM

For what it's worth...The Diver was my first AP.

Flipped it and it's the only one I really miss wearing.

To me it's very versatile...

Depends if you have the wrists to pull it off.

00pumpkin · 1 April 2015, 11:53 PM

Here is a 42mm Panda. I think the Diver will fit size wise...

Panda looks great on you.
