Hello everyone :)

I couldn't find a proper review of the 15450, so I wonder if anyone can tell me what are the flaws and tells of the JF version in blue and black?

Thanks!

For a start the watch is too thick! Something like 10% thicker than gen. that makes the proportions completely off IMO. Wears like a short fat diver.

​​​​​My wrist is 6.3 and the 15400 looks just fine

I have the same size wrist and the 15202 (39mm) was too big for me. I guess it's a matter of personal preference but I really think 15400 is way too big. 15450 is perfect though, ideally 36 perhaps, but 37 works well.. Do you have a wristshot?

Thanks mate. I would say aesthetically that's too big for my taste but on that shot it kinda looks alright tbh, I've just seen others where it looks extremely large. Guess it depends on the angle and lens.

It's always hard to judge sizes on wristshots, just look at this also on 6,3" (AP 37mm 15450)

Left is directly shot down on the arm, the other one in the mirror. Looks like two completely different sizes

Wow, yes it looks different. I guess it's personal preference, I like the size, but I wouldn't buy anything bigger than this one.

Yeah the wrist changes sizes due to supination \ pronation of the hand, a 42mm Tudor Pelagos fits me because it's 50mm lug to lug but the 15400 is like 54mm and that'll have an overhang on my pronated wrist. Might go to an AD to try them on.

That's a 15202 though, not a 15450 if i'm not mistaken

a 15202 has no seconds hand and no marker at 3 o clock as the date window sits there, the automatic text is above the hands and the ap logo below the hands. this is a gen 15450

Good to know, thought they didn't make 15450 with blue datewheel but I stand corrected
