Should i keep the black dial when having the blue already or say good bye to it ?

What do you think ?

Sell the black one and get the AP diver

AP diver is a great watch and has black dial similar to this black so it would be redundant to keep both

Sell the black get the silver. The silver is my favourite 15400 (both rep and Gen).
The black is very nice of course, but too many watches with steel bracelets have black dials - Rolex sub, gmt etc. I do have a sub and a ROO diver, hence when it came to 15400 in stainless steel, it had to be a silver dial; and of course for 5711 steel, blue dial.
Just my two cents!
Give u my 100% on that!
I love black dials cause you can wear on everything and will never be outdated but blue is royal and on that babe it might be the right choice to make it shine even more. Makes it more interessting for others to look at i think. I would rather take a second glimpse at a blue one, thats 4 sure...

I've taken my v7 Diver underwater/swimming with no issues (v7 Diver was greased/waterproofed but not atm tested). But I don't think I'll try it with the 15400, because construction-wise, it's not really a dive watch (correct me if I'm wrong).

Enjoy it!

Are the 15400's at all waterproof?

1. Rule don't try water things with replicas even when they say it's waterproof because you have no warranty.

Not always, if you have a good watchsmith

Absolutely, I also swim with my V7 Diver but I would never do that with my 15400.

Yep! So just go ahead to enjoy your diver while swimming, but some splashing here and there with the 15400 shouldn't be a problem!

Yup this is exactly it. The guy who does for me also mentioned about the build construction of the 15400, it's just not really for that whole water/diving thing. Even in terms of construction, watches like the Sub are way better bets.
