My First

Not surprisingly given this forum, my first venture(s) were into Rolex. I love Rolex. However, I couldn't stop watching videos of Royal Oaks.

I tried on a 15400 and 15450 and my small wrist was rather clear about which size was more appropriate. I considered the 15300 but prices are higher than what I would like to pay for something a little older. Additionally, I think the 15450 is the perfect fit. I also got to see a blue dial in person but still love the brightness and variation of the silver dial.

This thing is insane. The bracelet is a mirror. But it's brushed. It's a brushed mirror which makes no sense but it's amazing. And the display back. So beautiful. I'm in love.

Boom! Congrats! It’s fits you well. What size is your wrist? I’m patiently waiting for a 15450 blue dial.

Thanks! Somewhere between 6.25-6.5. The 15400 looked laughable on me. I like the blue as well.

Huge congrats! But i still believe 36 mm is a woman's watch size per today's standards... I also have a small wrist and went with the 15400 and it's perfecto

15450 is a very good size for most people even tho 37mm sounds small it wears big. And the 15400 is so big only very limited people can wear it without it looking like a clock on your wrist. Of course unless your a big guy

I think the fit is more important then the size. I feel a larger watch on a smaller which will look more feminine then a watch that fits your wrist better!
