Any luck on the factories bringing us a 15550?
Tried one on today at AP, it wears a tad larger than the 15450 and might be a nice rep to have on my tiny ass wrist

wears larger? how so? I too thought it was thinner and the lugs didn't bell out on the wrist like the 15450 does. giving it a much slimmer profile.
I do not know how to explain it, the 15450 seemed pretty dainty, but the 15550 I tried on just yesterday seemed like a better fit. The case seems tad wider, the slimness of the case is another thing, but thin does not bother me, it was more of the 15450 feeling something like a Datejust 36mm, while the 15550 felt like something I can actually wear.
That being said, maybe I should try a 15450 again, because honestly that is all we can get right now and the 41mm are just too damn big for me. The 15202 is an option, but I prefer a seconds hand.

I agree. For me the lack of second hand is a deal breaker.
I’ve been wearing my ZF 15450 since I bought it and I love it. With the belled out lugs, it fits like a modern sub to me. It has a large wrist presence. Nowwhere near a datejust (which I have a gen of).
I definitely recommend. Also given that there doesn’t seem to be a decent 15550 yet.

They're at available at Trustytime with a thickness of 10.4mm versus 9.1mm for the gen.

Which factory is it? I checked out a few other TD but they don't have it. Probably a bad rep?

It's from the TW Factory. At $328.00, I would not expect it to be a 1st tier rep. Worth looking into though, since it's the only rep AP 15550 I'm aware of.

I don't have a clue. Both ZF and APSF are currently busy making similar sized AP models, so I'll be surprised if they do.
