15450 vs 26315

Interested if any whether anyone was deciding between the 15450 and the 26315 and which one you chose. I'm torn between the 15450 blue dial and the 26315 grey dial. The simplicity of the 15450 and the proportions for a 6.5" wrist are perfect. On the other hand the heft and proportions of the 26315 are amazing. they're very different watches but both feel great.

Hi. I tried the 15450 on a few occasions. For my 6.5” wrist, the proportions didn’t work. The case and dial too small.

The 26315 propositions are perfect. The dial is busy sure, but well designed so it doesn’t overwhelm at every glance.
I chose the 26315; love the panda; fit is perfect.

Happy hunting.

I have the 15450 and love it. I've also tried on the 26315 and it was also amazing. I have 6.5" wrist as well. Don't think you can go wrong either way

I'd agree, and I have a 6.2 inch (flat) wrist and a grey 26315. The 15450 may start to seem small to you after a while ...

Absolutely fantastic watches and proportions on both, but I do prefer the slight additional heft to the chrono, both in diameter and depth

Chrono easy over the 450 for my 6.5. Dial seems too small on the 450. The taper bothered me too. I’ve heard the chrono has the same bracelet but for some reason doesn’t bother me. Chrono for me 100%

I’ve tried them both on my 6.5 inch wrist and the chrono felt much better, still a bit small for my liking but the 450 just seemed too small. The best size would be a 39mm for a 6.5 inch wrist imo but we all know how hard it is to acquire a 202. When choosing between the 26315 and 450 I would go with the 26315.

Is it still hard to get a 26315?

I have both and for some reason the 37mm feels smaller than I would have thought - maybe it’s the busy dial on the chrono. Both are a good fit though

26315 are becoming more available. Think even the grey price will drop to retail soon

I have 6.4" wrist, I have both 37mm Stainless Steel and 41mm Rose Gold. 37mm looks too small and 41mm look a bit too big. After wear it for awhile, I like 41mm a lot better and get used to with the big size. Actually 39mm would be perfect, but it is very hard to acquire.

I hope the grey price will come down close to msrp pretty soon.
