Incoming: My First AP 15400 (pics)

I have been wanting to add an AP to the collection for approximately three years and I finally pulled the trigger. I would always vacillate between the Diver and the classic RO 15300. Whenever I would go to the AD, the 15300 was the look that wanted, but it always just seemed a tad too small to wear with my 85% casual wardrobe.

When the 15400 was released, I was thrilled. I got to try one on in Vegas last fall and I knew that it was the one for me :) This week, I finally decided to buy one and I am absolutely thrilled with it. The dial is quite amazing, especially in the sun. I have never seen anything like it.

Picture don't do it justice, but without further ado, here she is...

Awesome watch. However its a tad too big on my wrist so Jm sticking with my 15300. I really love the 12 hour markers and the black date wheel base though..
