Gents

I have been trying to locate a unworn 15300ST for months now without any luck

which made me consider 15450ST. Havent found posts On It and no much talk about the ref. So I was wondering Why !

Would appreciate ur thoughts and pictures

FYI I have a 6.3" wrist

and this suppose to be my first AP. My current daily watch is the Rolex sub. Aka Hulk.

Cheers

Hey Hussain!

I think this watch is generally not as popular because of the dial size.
I must say, it is perfect for a 6.3" wrist, I myself love the way it wears on my 6" wrists.
In fact the 15300ST is too big for me. I do love that black dial though.

It is put down as a ladies watch on the AP catalogue though; Not that it matters.
I think the RO generally wears much larger than other watches of the same size.

I don't think it matters if there is a lot of love around for it, as long as you love it!

Also, I miss Oman!
Greetings from Qatar.

Apprciate your thoughts man, Actually Its still on the men section in AP website.
Looks like eventually I will go for it and accept the white dial which im not so in love with

Be generous and share some pics LOL

Thanks

I've tried it on and liked it...definitely wears bigger than 37mm

tomcorkery · 31 March 2015, 01:30 PM

I think its to small. Resale may not be so good. i have the 41mm ro and 6.5 wrist I like the size on me

I think with a small wrist, it would be a great choice, I have the 41 but with a 7.5 wrist and it big, the 37mm will still wear bigger than a DD or DJ which few object to. Some go crazy about big is always better......

APs are at the sportier more muscular end of sports prestige watches so smaller ones are not as popular.

15450 was my first AP. I loved it. Fitted nicely on my 7' wrist. I always found the 15400 to be too large for me, so 15450 was great.
Since then, i got a jumbo, so the 15450 is now looked after the wife. She loves it too.

6.5 inch wrist, worked/looked ok . . .

I agree.
I do like the 15450 and tried it on, but just don't like that it does not have any wrist presence. It is on the smaller side I think.
