I like the 15400 on your wrist. The fit for me was similar when I tried them on, and I think the wrist shots tend to magnify the size of the dial. My wife is pretty petite and typically sports a 26mm DJ. She tried on a 15451 and loved the fit. It depends on the look your going for, but in my opinion as long as there is no lug overhang, and the bracelet hugs the sides of your wrist without a gap, the fit is as intended in the design.

i'd vote for the 15450. IMHO the royal oak was designed to see some bracelet from the top view, rather than just the watch head covering the wrist.

400 is a little big but doesn’t look bad on you. Buy whichever one you like, is your money.

Agree with this.
The 15400 definitely doesn't look bad on you, and you could pull it off, but the 15450 looks a much better fit IMO.
A jumbo or 15300 may work as well, but between these two, the 15450 has much nicer proportions on your wrists i'd say.

A nice problem to have deciding between the two!

400- it's supposed to a little big. The 39 mm 5402 was considered over sized in the 70's, hence the jumbo, and this is the modern interpretation .

15400 looks good on you. Not too big at all. 450 looks too small.
