@locolouie is already doing Mods for 15450 and he sent me some of his work

Gee, I didn't know that! His website just says "We are also working on 15450 Royal Oak as well." Would you have information on the ff:
1. Pricing
2. The color of the most updated dial or the color of the dial with the LEAST issues (silver, blue, grey, black)
Would appreciate some inputs! TIA!

Well, in GEN there is only two colors for Ref.15450, Blue and silver and they still haven’t been updated so I think you should wait to have a blue V2J 15450 or you can E-mail him to check if there’s any updates.

15450 is just a tad too small for me, but I can understand its attraction as a dress alternative. In any case, I find all Royal Oaks too heavy, and they slip too easily on my wrist, with crown guards digging into my hand rather painfully sometimes. I hardly wear them.
Dial sizes: 14790 25.5/26.5mm Diameter, 15300 28.5mm Diameter, 15400 30.70mm

Same here.
15450 is a little too small and too thick considering the diameter.
The 15400 was a little oversized for my taste but I like it better on my wrist: I would avoid the white dial 15400 (looks larger)

15300 is ideal for me, too bad there 's no super rep.

I have 7.5" - 7.75" wrists. The 15202 is too small and I cannot get used to it. The 15400 is just about right.Then again I can get away with AP 44mms quite comfortably. I love the 15400 and I need to save up some pennies to get one off @locolouie. I don't think I could get away with the 15450.

15202 I have very few pics as it was only worn twice for an hour at most. The beauty of this is the thinness of the case.

The 15400 in comparision I sold my Blue dial unfortunately ages ago but I have the TT and the Tourby

Here is a 44mm for comparison

A little off the topic but anyone has any idea of this BP’s 15300?

Can’t seem to find info about it.

Thanks for the heads-up, @MjeeAP. Will definitely email Louie about the 15450. My blue dial 15400 just arrived, and I find it too big for my 7-inch wrist, so I am really hoping LocoLouie will have the 15450 in GRAY. Sorry to disagree with you re the gen dials of the 15450. There is a grey option. https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch-collection/royal-oak/15450ST.OO.1256ST.02/ Again, thanks for the heads-up on the 15450!

Same here, but I'm waiting for Loco Louie's 15450 GREY dial option. My 15400 arrived today, and it's waaay too big for my 7-inch wrist...

lol brace yourself for the army of people telling you it's not big

He he he. Thanks, bud. Nothing lost. No biggie, really, as I am giving it to my wife whose wrist is about 7.25 inches. I will wait patiently for the latest release of JF 15450 from Loco Louie. He did a fantastic job on my 15400. Very quiet rotor. And overall great QC. How your order doing?

 

[d4m.test]

LocoLouie is the man. I just ordered the 15400 black dial along with another piece after I had a great experience with him on my most recent purchase of a 2016 yachtmaster with rhodium grey dial - silenced motor, great QC and just a great person to deal with. He is my go-to TD moving forward. I will post some pics of my 15400 when I get it, my wrist is ~7.2 inches

Sorry for giving you the wrong Info as the grey is a new dial and I don’t think we will see a rep version any time soon, But enjoy your 15400 till then.

@SuperLory the bezel screws on your JF 15450 look really good, is that a new batch?

 

[SuperLory]

It was the latest version as of January this year with 3 o'clock marker..

Sold it a while ago
