Thank you dilodoli.

I haven't posted in such a long time I had to make a new account. Nor have I bought a rep in a very long time but this caught my eye.

I used to wear a Submariner, how big do you think this watch is compared to the Sub? I'm worried this watch is too big for me, I am 5"7 with a 6" wrist.

Anybody?

Anybody?

Thanks Ortho, you're right, the 3 o'clock does not seem to be alligned.

We have about the same wrist size. I find the 15400 OK for my wrist size.

Thanks! The size isn't bad at all. Should be fine as the Submariner sat perfectly on my wrist...

I think (quite sure) that it looks bigger than the 40mm rolex from lug to lug on the wrist.

This is 40mm parnis (same size as rolex)

 

[lolo1972sg]

But the 15400 still looks much smaller and is much more comfy than the 42mm Roo (thickness is another issue)

Damn. now that I compare it on the wrist it does seem a bit big... 15450 is the perfect size... but how bad are the differences from the gen vs 15400

There is a 15450 thread under AP sub section. I believe some of these points were discussed there. And although 15450 will sit better on your wrist, you should also give some considerations on whether it makes you look more feminine or more manly.

I guess its like buying a Rolex Day Date vs II ?

Guys i just posted min in the sales section. Its the blue dial.

 

[watchgurupz]

do the TDs offer the blue dial with leather straps? Will they be willing to let me substitute the bracelet for a strap?

I think you would have to buy the additional straps (endlinks+buckle+whatever) from the TD. They will be the best parties to tell you what they will or will not do for you.

Finally in from PT. Wicked fast service and shipping to the US btw...

New to the AP world now. Here's a few shots after I soaked the bracelet in bike chain lube and greased the caseback gasket with silicone grease. The IWC is my GEN 3777 Le Petit Prince.
