Best AP for a Skinny Wrist?

[PlanetZoom]

Automatic miyota 8.6mm
Quartz 8.4mm

FYI, Intime lists the automatic Miyota 9015 at 10mm here:

The quartz is listed at 8.7mm here:

Lol, sometimes the calipers show a different result than what the website says.

How do you like them, and which one do you prefer?

I did some research a while back and read about the following:
1. Quartz - No 'Automatic' on dial
2. Miyota - 'A''P' lettering is disjoint, wrong DWO
Is that information correct?

 

[pippo]

it's not uncomfortable by any mean, it's just too thick for what it is imho.

Agreed, it's a matter of (bad) proportions

@Nivka why neglecting the best of them all ? 15202

I need a second hand for my work

 

[SuperLory]

I edited my post above

I sold the quartz and kept the auto

both are flawed, at least i kept the (imho) better looking one.

They both sit great on the wrist

15300 BP 39mm older without decorated rotor was 9 and now with decorated 11.

Thanks for that. Is that measured by a member, or from td websites (which I find unreliable unfortunately)?

I had measured the one with decorated rotor myself, it was ETA version of BP. Will do photo when get it back from modder.

Warchive has these two AP15450's: black and white. No grey yet, though. Given the two options (black or white dial), which one is closest to gen? AP experts care to chime in? I'm inclined to go with white to compensate for the 37mm diameter, though I'm more at home with black. Now you know why I'm still waiting for grey, he he. here's the link, and the 15450's are the 1st 2 pictures: http://warchive.net/category/audemars-piguet/30/

My stock JF 15450. Should be 10,8mm thick (gen is 9,8). Is perfect on the wrist. Nobody would notice that extra 1mm

blue is closer to gen. white looks better tho imo

Thanks! I forgot to say I already have the blue.
Yeah, I'm glad you think white looks better, esp for a 37mm.

@nipe , that's a cool watch, indeed!
I doubt the 1mm difference will show, yeah.
But I'm going for the Louie mod just the same.
He did my 15400 and slimmed it down to 9.8, so why not for the 15450.
But that's gonna be for next year as Louie is not accepting any orders for now. I guess he is overwhelmed with orders. Which is kinda falling in place for me cuz maybe by then, a grey dial version will already be out. If still not out, then white it is.

If you don't mind the wait the absolutely. I personally have a real hard time waiting.. Got a vintage build in progress from a modder here and I had to buy this one in-between just to settle my thirst for something new while that's being built

Well that is an absolute beaut! Let me know if you plan to sell it as you will have a buyer straight away! I have the 15202 but it still feels large on my 6.1" wrists, mainly because of distance between lugs.

Thanks mate!

Yes, I also had the 15202 myself and it also felt slightly too large on my own wrists, so I also sold it. The size of the 15450 is PERFECT! The dream would of course be a 14790, but unfortunately not in production any more.

Because of its design, the 41mm AP15400 wears so much larger than your typical 6-digit 40mm Sub. The 15400 "wing-like lugs" spills over my 7-inch wrist, he he. See picture above, post #17. Thus I'm ordering the 37mm 15450, hoping it will wear like a 40mm Sub.

HI guys, I am in the market for AP RO but not sure about the size (my wrist is about 6.5 inches).

What do you think about the 39mm 15300

Hi mate,

What is your wrist size ?

thanks

15202

I had all 15400 / 15450 / 15202 (both quartz and miyota)

the 15450 is just too thick imho

15202 is slightly larger but its thinness make it much more comfortable on the wrist even for skinny wrists

I second this.

 

[arepuj]

I continue with my research.

I think i will go for 15450 in blue ss bracelet

Is that the best and nwest versión of it?
