My first Royal Oak. The new 15400 (Review and Pics)

[tifasvr]

i'm concerned that my wrist size 6.1" does not fit the 15400!

I've been reading that the 15400 is too big for my wrist but it seems to fit perfectly in this review!

"Too big" is a matter of preference;

Some people feel that if a case extends too near the ends or your wrist it has a tendency to look clownish, however it's just as prevalent a viewpoint that that is not the case...

In the specific instance of an AP RO I think that at a 6.1" wrist you should be fine.

My wrist is 6.75" and this watch has the same case diameter as the 15400 (41mm) ...

So in terms of using that as a reference, I'm guessing you'd still be well in the clear with roughly .33" of case clearance on either side as to not dwarf your wrist.

Hope I helped :3

Have you checked out the skinny wrist thread? A wealth of info for us small wristed types.

@tifasvr Sorry bro, my inbox was full earlier. Hope you like the 15400 when you have it in your hands.

Thank you for this amazing review!

Question: is this the one with 11.5mm thickness due to the deco plate? Does the additional thickness make any difference?

No, the one in this review was from BP. The first 15400 ever released. The current one with deco plate is from V6.

Aha, I see. So based on op's review, this one has a deco plate as well, but the same thickness with previous 15400's 10.5mm thickness, correct?

Is this bp 15400 only available in ss?

There are simply way too many variations of 15400 and PT does not label the factory names to distinguish which one is which...

Haha. I'm the OP.
The BP version doesn't have deco plate, meaning it's just a bare ETA2824 with the decorated rotor. The only thing that's decorated is the rotor. BP 15400 also available in rg and now with Miyota movement as well.

The best 15400 currently imo is from TF, second is V6.

Hey guys - I pushed the button on this http://www.intime.co/audemars-pigue...ition-black-dial-on-rg-rg-bracelet-a2824.html last night, and so reading this review was a bit of a rollercoaster.

All in all I'm happy now, and have some work to do with Rehaut etc.

Glad to hear that the bracelets are good though.

Just for clarity, is the link that I posted above the same as OP's watch (with obvious RG and Black Dial) in terms of factory. Believe it's TF.

Update - this is supposed to be a question...

Congrats on your purchase. Yours is from TF which is arguably the best 15400 atm. It's of course different than mine which was from BP. I had sold it though.
So you don't need to do anything to the rehaut. The TF 15400 is already very good ootb.

Have just found out that the model I purchased (2nd time in a week!) is now discontinued and this is the standard now.

Cheaper now because of the MIYOTA http://www.intime.co/audemars-pigue...white-dial-on-rg-rg-bracelet-miyota-9015.html

Still a good watch folks ?

Lol the title in your first link is Miyota but the actual watch is with 2824.
Anyway, go for the Miyota.

 

[trilla1337]

Thanks for the advice Jamztio, that will save me $120 that I can put toward my next rep purchase too !

 

[Striken]

It think this watch is much better on the wrist than actually looking at pics. When I got mine I was afraid that it wasn't masculin enough, but it's a true beauty on the wrist and get some attention to nice one!
